878 Words4 Pages

John Lennon once wrote, “When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” Our lives are clearly shaped by what we make of them. My goal in life is to use the knowledge and values that my parents and teachers have instilled in me to achieve my “happy” life through a rewarding pharmacy career and valued friendships. In the fall of 2018, I will begin my journey towards my career goals by attending Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. When I received my acceptance letter in December announcing that I was chosen into Drake’s pharmacy program, I was ecstatic! This was so important to me because it meant that I had achieved my first goal of being accepted into my first choice college.

I would also like to be a part of service organizations while on campus. Service has always been a big part of my life and I would like to continue to do service throughout college and adulthood.

To achieve this goal, I will work to continue to earn high grades just as I have in high school. I have also taken some college courses in high school to accumulate some college credit before I attend college and to give me some insight on the coursework of a college

    According to the article Blending High School and College Can Sharpen the Focus of Each by Joel Vargas, it states that “early college experiences increase college success rates.” In other words, these early experiences allow a student to prepare for the challenges of college work while still having that support from their teachers and tutors. Throughout my high school career, I had the opportunity to take honors and Advanced Placement courses for the majority of my classes. The Advanced Placement courses allowed for a better understanding of the subject as well as providing the extensive work often similar to college classes. Learning the subjects from college in high school, such as English 101, even if not receiving the college credit for it, allowed for an understanding of the skills taught.
