...Since I was practically born, I’ve been asked what I want to be when I grow up. Starting with a princess when I was three, then an astronaut when I was five, to an artist when I was eight, on to a career path a bit more practical and much more realistic when I was getting older. Growing up, I have had a creative imagination, which allowed for me to play games like house, doctor, and anything I really wanted. But one thing was always clear. I was most certainly determined to help others. Out of those games, I wanted to play doctor the most. It was my favorite game considering I’d be able to “help” people. Even though I was never fixing a real injury, besides putting on the occasional bandaid, I felt like helping people through the medical field...

...At the age of 19, I began my journey to becoming a nurse. I enrolled at Jersey College School of Nursing, Fall of 2014 and by the age of 20, I was working in a family practice clinic as a Licensed practical nurse. After working in the clinic for a year and a half I decided I wanted to explore different parts of nursing, which is when I transferred to a urology office. As an LPN, I have been motivated by the patient care that I provide to pursue further education and I am currently pursuing an RN degree.

...inspired to pursue such field when I was told by one of my summer teachers’ recommended me a possible career in psychology and sociology because of the amount of effort I put into my work. I fairly enjoyed these subjects and decided to read books related to psychological illness such as the Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat which contain many studies of certain psychological illnesses. I also have researched illnesses such as PTSD and what are its root. The more I read, the more I was intrigued by such topics. When I found out that the school offered an AP psychology course, I immediately signed up for it. By taking this class and AP exam, it will allow me to skip the 101 Psychology that is taught in college to beginners and will allow me to move ahead. I decided that I will go into therapeutics and talk to others that have either a social issue or mental illness and try to solve it through modern psychoanalysis. To further my knowledge of therapeutics, I decided to base my SCE on interaction with children and study how they find certain fields such as STEM interesting and how it may impact their future career path. By doing so, this will mimic a possible career situation I may have in the future. Thus, going to Emory will allow me to obtain the knowledge and what I have already done will reinforce those pillars of knowledge that will allow me to successfully pursue a career...

...In retrospect, one of the most critical factors that inspired me to seek a career is the quote by Andrew Carnegie, “Anything in life worth having is worth working for.” I incorporated this principle into my individual value system, vowing that I will work with vigor to accomplish life endeavors. My contact with pharmaceutics commenced early, which is because my family owns a non-profit pharmacy where I have worked and volunteered. However, growing up in Bangladesh, a pharmacist was a civilian without any formalized training who owned a pharmacy and sold medication.

As of now, I live with my mother who barely makes a little bit more than minimum wage, tending to my every need.
