“I wanted to study pharmacy because I grew up with a question that never left me: “Why wasn’t there a medicine to save my grandfather?” I was very young when he passed away after a severe illness that doctors could not cure.
Each time I asked my mother why he couldn’t just take a medicine to get better, she would look at me with tearful eyes and whisper, “There is no medicine for his illness, my dear.” Those words shaped my entire life.
As a child, I could not understand how such a thing was possible. How could there be no medicine? Did it run out from the pharmacy? Over time, that innocent confusion turned into a purpose, a burning desire to become someone who creates answers rather than accepts limits.
For me, pharmacy is not just a profession; it is the art of transforming science into compassion. It is about bridging the gap between human suffering and scientific discovery. Each medicine represents years of research, sleepless nights, and the hope of millions. Behind every prescription, there is a story, a person waiting to feel better, a family praying for healing.
When I think of my patients, I see my grandfather and all those who are still waiting for a cure that hasn’t been discovered yet. That is why I chose this path: to stand on the side of healing, to bring comfort and relief, and perhaps one day, to be part of creating the medicine yet to be made.
Because to me, being a pharmacist means never giving up on hope even when the world says, “There is no medicine”.
