Why I Want To Be A Pharmacist. There are so many careers in the health field in which a person can choose from. But I choose to be a pharmacist for so many reasons. Being from Nigeria and growing up there, I did see people get sick and die suddenly all due to inadequate health care provision. Also in my Family I have my Mom who I almost lost to cancer and also an Auntie who is now suffering from pancreatic cancer, which is one of the most deadly cancers that kill its victims quickly.

Seeing how much pain and trauma they go through daily, i want to be able to help them get well quickly or provide medications which can cure the illness. These entire situations motivated and increased my interest in becoming a pharmacist. Being that I get alone and care for people and also working as a pharmacist or any other health profession requires caring for the patient and treating them with love.
