Scholarship
As the first person from my generation to attend college, I have several plans concerning my profession that will benefit my immediate community, myself, and society as a whole. Growing up in a family with inadequate education was challenging. My parents didn’t have a chance to acquire the college education, and as a result, they didn’t have good-paying jobs. All they got was employment in a restaurant that could pay them low wages, meaning life was not easy for us. I know what it means to live in a family where parents have to put some struggle to gather for the daily needs of their families. Because of that, I am putting a lot of effort into my education so that I support those who are in need. After I complete my college education, I plan to help not only my immediate community but also the broader one because as a pharmacist, I have numerous roles to play. I will counsel and educate patients about the proper use of medications and also help them to use multiple drugs safely and efficiently (Hudson, McAnaw & Johnson 7).

As a pharmacist, I will not only facilitate the roles of medical professionals to help patients, but I will also help patients manage side effects resulting from drug interactions (Hudson, McAnaw & Johnson 3). I will travel back to China to spread awareness and knowledge regarding the effects of excessive smoking and drinking. I will also enlighten the Chinese community about safe sex and the use of emergency contraception. With the help of knowledge gained from college, I will provide a trusted environment which will lead to the decrease in medical errors and improve patient safety.

This will reduce the cost of medication and improve the quality of care in the community. Finally, if all goes well, I am planning to build a rehabilitation center in my village back in China so that I can help the youth deal with drug addiction as its cases have been on the rise.
