Meaning to My Life


Earning the blessing to be a pharmaceutical scientist…
that is probably one of the most selfless things conceivable to me.
Every day on the job will be an effort to eradicate disease.
Tuition,SAT,GPA,SSL hours?
Any task will be faced by me, to be a pharmaceutical scientist.
With the strength of the camaraderie I have built,
Followed by the devoted love of my mother.
I will be able to elude the worry of pain from families.
Just as my own linger through my mind,
From my grandpa fighting cancer, to my grandmother fighting Alzheimer’s.
Nothing that comes in my way will be equivalent to their suffering.
To me the best humans on earth are those who give back…
Think of Mandela or Mother Teresa
Being a pharmaceutical scientist would still mean I am a speck on earth,
but my efforts will help millions of people through my work.
That will be the best thing that I will do to give meaning to my life.
