“A Graduating Senior” --- Yakima County, WA state
Hi my wonderful friends / followers on Tumblr ... I just wanted to let you know that despite all the hardships 2020 brought with it, I hope that failure does not determine your destiny and that you can rise to the challenge in 2021, if you think it does!
As a senior in college at Central Washington University, I will be graduating soon with a Bachelor's degree in Biology. After the pandemic of the corona-virus hit our distraught nation, and the world, one of the more fascinating questions in everyone's mind was, "what will be the cure?," Or "who will come up with the vaccine to alleviate COVID- 19? " This made me think of something Albert Einstein, the great and noble scientist, who once said, 'the important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. 'With a vaccine now underway for saving the lives of millions of potential victims of the virus, I have been inspired to apply for Pharmacy School in the hopes of furthering my own knowledge and insight into what it takes to truly make cures happen. So if there is anything you can do to change the world, start with yourself ... and always believe! I know that my path won't be easy, but if there is anything I have learned from my own failures and mistakes, it is that these failures can't determine my destiny and future goals! All the best to you, as I think I may need it too! :)
