a little inspiration! working two real-world jobs (waitressing and being a pharmacy technician/clerk) has a way of grounding you almost to the point where all you see is exactly what is in front of you, forever. it’s hard to imagine ever getting into pharmacy school, studying public health and actually doing all the things i want to do with that when all i see are dirty tables to be cleaned and set and piles of prescriptions ready to be filed. but alas! stories like these keep my spirits up.
besides, i think if i didn’t have this year of living out in the real world and had just gotten into pharmacy school and done that and gone out to work as a pharmacist, i wouldn’t have been entirely happy with myself. but with this year, although it gets rough sometimes, i’ll have some real world cred!
also, i love that heartening is a word!
