Education for mind, heart, and soul

Education for the Mind, Heart, And Soul

Intellectual growth, social stimulation, and holistic development: these are the main thrusts that I subscribe to; main thrusts that I used as my motivations in planning to pursue a career in pharmacy. One important reason why I chose to have a career in pharmacy is I want to achieve a formal education that constructively affects my mind, heart, and soul. These three important elements, I believe, are present in the pharmacy course I intend to take.

Why these three elements? For me, an education must not only focus on matters that promote intellectual growth, but education must also develop an individual socially and spiritually. Combination of these elements will not only make me a successful Pharmacy student, but also prepare me for a life ahead of me as a pharmacist in the future. The following are my reasons why I chose Pharmacy as my career course in the University.

The first reason why I chose to study Pharmacy is for my intellectual growth. The field of natural sciences has always fascinated me, particularly how the sciences can be useful for making great inventions or innovations that pertain to human health and development. Pharmacy provides a balance between the intellectual knowledge and application of the natural sciences. Not only will I receive essential knowledge and information about Pharmacy, but I will also be able to practice and apply this knowledge by practicing my knowledge through service programs that are commonly conducted in Pharmacy degree programs. Furthermore, the University's vision and mission to provide students with quality education by having a competent faculty and student body are also additional factors that ensure me that I, indeed, along with hard work on my part, will be able to have a meaningful intellectual growth as I pursue a degree in Pharmacy. Being a Pharmacy student at the University is indeed an education of the mind for me.

Another reason why Pharmacy appeals to me is that it provides me with a venue to interact and get to know people who have the same interest as mine, which is to study intensively Pharmacy. Also, social interaction with people who have diverse interests compared with mine will also help me broaden my knowledge in relating with people effectively, which, I believe is a must for every pharmacist, who are constantly in touch with people who have health difficulties and needs. Thus, education for the heart for me is achieved in Pharmacy by constantly interacting and relating with people who have been instrumental in my development as a student and individual.
