One of the first and greatest lessons I received when I became a student at Belmont University is that whether we are in class or not, every day is a lesson in itself. As I move forward towards my goal, I have grown and learned so much over the years to this point. Since I became a young adult, integrity was not only something I received as encouragement from my parents, but also something I expected. I came to a full understanding of the meaning after becoming a college student. There were times when I faced the risk of losing and sacrificing my integrity. But these kinds of situations are the ones that help you retain the value and understand the true meaning behind the word. It means being true to your morals, values and beliefs. This leads to asking for an answer regarding life and its resources, which is provided as a package that includes education and real-life experience at Belmont. Lessons do not begin and end in the classroom, but rather expand beyond and above. There are no boundaries or limits to the human desire to learn, investigate and acquire more knowledge. Real life knowledge comes from people. Learning these lessons requires good cooperation and service. I believe the ability to interconnect and collaborate in a group setting with diverse personal traits and learning environments will result in success.

Communicating and interacting with patients with the difference of social, cultural and economic background is a very important part for a pharmacist. As a student, individual decision making has been impacted differently as it requires you to take responsibility for it. But as a pharmacist, the many experiences I have had will benefit me in the future when I engage with the larger whole.
