Besides math and chemistry being my favorite subjects, I want to become a pharmacist to be involved in patient care and help patients understand the proper use of their medication. In May 2009, my middle school Principal, Ms. Suzi Johnson died of pancreatic and liver cancer. Within three weeks of her cancer diagnosis, she passed away suddenly. There could have been a possibility for her to have been treated in the short timespan between her diagnosis and death, and as a pharmacist, I hope to conduct epidemiological research into cancer to find a fast acting cure. I had known her since I was three years old and she had a big influence on me. She always pushed me to work harder in my academics and advocated that we need more women and minorities
