"I have chosen to become a pharmacist because of the broad impact I can make on my patients, their families, and my community as a whole. Being a pharmacist is much more than dispensing medication. It's a career where I can get to know many of my patients on a closer level since they will visit me regularly for prescription refills. I can educate my patients on proper dosing, which impacts their day, including side-effect management, appetite levels, sleep quality, and even mental clarity. As a pharmacist, I will improve the profession by bringing this whole-health knowledge and mindset to my patients. When my patients feel motivated and empowered to take their entire health into their hands, it will create a trickle-down effect in other aspects of their lives, including their family members' well-being. This ripple will help create greater respect for proper medicating, improve how the public views our profession, and highlight how patients can rely on a pharmacist to help them manage their health."
