“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”

Henry David Thoreau

Reflection: I think this quote by henry David Thoreau is trying to say that reach for your goal never give up. Like for example: I want to be a pro at volleyball. Well, in order to be a pro I need to practice every day. And tell my friends in volleyball to help and tryout and stuff.

Pharmacist

Pharmacist

Duties and responsibilities: Pharmacists compound, or prepare, prescriptions written by physicians, dentists, and other practitioners.  They review these prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then prepare the medication.  This can involve weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs.  Once the compounds are prepared, pharmacists then dispense them to customers and patients.

Pharmacists answer patients' and customers' questions about the drugs they are taking and drugs which can be sold over the counter.  In some cases, pharmacists are responsible for taking inventory of the drugs on the shelves and ordering any which they are low on.

Pharmacists work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery, drug, and discount stores.  Those who work in stores must be aware of the other health supplies available in the store so they do not direct customers in the wrong direction.

Salary: Average Salary:  $33,000 - $51,000

Education: Students should take the most challenging high school classes (including AP or IB) available in English, science, and math.

All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy.  Most pharmacy schools require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (P-CAT), and some require up to two years of pre-pharmacy education.  Other colleges will admit students directly from high school.

Normally it takes at least five years to earn a Pharmacy Degree.  To earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree,  Pharm.D., requires at least six.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence

TALENT will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

GENIUS will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of education derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘Press On’ has solved and always will solve problems of the human race.”

President Calvin Coolidge

                                               30^th president of US (1872-1933)

what this statement by Calvin Coolidge is trying to say is that you don’t successes unless you’ve failed or have something to motivate you. For example The famous Walt Disney got kicked out of the newspaper company because they said he wisest creative info and now is really famous guy and own companies. well never give up on you self always believe in yourself. get a good idea, and stay with it, and work with it until it's done, and done right.

Osteopathic Physician, D.O.

Osteopathic Physician, D.O.

(D.O. = doctor of)

Duties and responsibilities:             Osteopathic physicians use accepted methods of diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases.  Although they practice in all branches of medicine and surgery like pathological physicians (M.D.s), they differ by emphasizing the importance of the musculature system, holistic medicine, proper nutrition, and environmental factors in maintaining good health.  Osteopaths use a hands-on approach to medicine and frequently manipulate or palpate as part of diagnosis and treatment.  They work primarily in osteopathic hospitals or private practice, however many pathological hospitals now accept osteopathic physicians as staff members.  The majority of osteopaths are general practitioners, family practitioners, or emergency medicine specialists.

Salary: average salary: $110,000

Education: Students should take the most challenging high school courses (including AP or IB courses) available in science, math, and English.

After three or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical school.  Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics.  Some medical schools also require course work in calculus, English, the humanities, or social science.

Medical school usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a year-long hospital internship.  Physicians who want to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty.
