During my junior year of high school I was taught general chemistry for the first time. My interest for molecules, compounds, and their bonds spurred through my involvement in Chemistry and Biology. After completing these courses my motivation to pursue a career in Chemistry increased. Thus my decision became certain, and I applied to University under the Science Department.

These experiences opened my eyes to the needs of people, and became part of the foundation that lead me to aspire a career in Pharmacy.

This course gave me a look into the Pharmacy Industry’s regulations, and the steps required in an emergency. Through the course of college I have kept busy to develop the fast pace expected from pharmacy students. As a result of all this hard work, in 2014 I achieved a place in the Dean’s List at our University’s Noche de Logros, an activity where students are recognized for their outstanding achievements. These accomplishments helped keep me focused on my
