In addition, LLU has recognized the significance of the field of pharmacy and the importance of pharmacists in today’s challenging and fast-paced world. Hence, it moves away from the traditional outlook that pharmacy is limited to the dispensing of medications and moves forward to include them as a first line of inquiry and last source of advice for patients. With this, LLU has designed a curriculum that will enable pharmacy students to develop competence in the professional practice in the various areas and places they are needed.
Moreover, the distinguished roster of educators in the School is an element that will not go unnoticed. Such benefit will ensure quality training and practical skills from only the best and brightest professors who are also healthcare practitioners themselves. Furthermore, in line with my advocacy of reaching out to communities specifically and to the world in general, LLU’s outreach undertakings perfectly address this. The programs and services LLU spearheads will be great avenues to fulfill my personal advocacy.
All these distinctive characteristics, which are significant to me, are especially held by LLU. Hence, I aspire to reap these benefits to be an effective pharmacist in the future. 3. I have been raised in a religious family where religion and spirituality are significant elements of everyday living. Since I was two years old, my father has brought me up observing strict religious customs and practices. He took me to mosque one Friday. Seeing that I was too behaved when I was inside the holy place, he has taken me with him since.
However, this practice temporarily halted when we came to the United States. Unfamiliar with Los Angeles and unaware of the existence of a mosque in the area, we were unable to observe our holy day for six months. Nonetheless, after a period of adjustment in and familiarization of the city, we found out that there was indeed a mosque in the area. Upon learning about the location of the Iman mosque, we immediately started going there. After a year of regular mosque visits, I eventually gained several friends and acquaintances.
From my conversations with them, I learned of a Wednesday gathering of students from various universities. I started joining the said gatherings, in which I was educated about god, significant lessons about our faith, and the Holy Book with the instruction of a religious leader. One important thing though that I have found useful and admirable about the sessions was the teaching about different religions. Time and again, we have been taught how to respect other religions.
We have also been encouraged to know more about them to enrich our understanding of other people and ultimately strengthen our own faith. 4. My spiritual upbringing has instilled in me that each one is my brother or sister. Even if we may have different religions or nationalities, we are all the same and of equal footing in the eyes of the god we believe in. This being we all have faith in loves us and has called us to love one another, care for each other, and walk together in faith. This is what I have held all the years that I have recognized the presence of god in my life.
