"I'll be a great resident in your program because I'm an adaptable person. For example, I was on the board of my school's APhA chapter, and that experience taught me to "roll with the punches" because things were always changing. I helped plan an outdoor community vaccination clinic, and of course, on the day of ,it was really windy and started raining. We worked to change plans and got everyone inside, making sure to communicate our new location to everyone involved. Additionally, I'm highly motivated to succeed. I'm a first-generation student and have an inherent motivation to make something of myself and be the first doctor in my family. I am proud of where I came from and the obstacles I've faced, and I believe this drive will help me in my career as a pharmacist."
