One of my primary goals in life is to pursue a career in medical
            
 studies, particularly in the field of pharmacy, and in order to achieve
            
 this goal, I plan to pursue a Doctor of Pharmacy degree.  My primary reason
            
 for selecting pharmacy as my career course is influenced by my motivation
            
 to heal, serve, and educate myself and my community to promote optimum
            
 health service.  Furthermore, pursuing a career in pharmacy involves
            
 assuming the roles that I find fulfilling intellectually and personally:
            
 providing the health care needs of people, obtaining knowledge about the
            
 proper use and application of pharmaceuticals, and implementing the
            
 manufacture and control of drugs and medicines that will be appropriate and
            
 beneficial to the people/patients' needs.
            
       The main thrusts of my primary objective are centered on three
            
 important aspects that pharmacy can contribute to my self-development as a
            
 future medical practitioner: to heal, serve, and educate.
            
       The  first thrust I am subsisting to is that as a pharmacist, I can
            
 give HEALING to people in dire need of medical help.  Healing, for me, and
            
 in the pharmacist viewpoint, is to provide people with easy access to drugs
            
 and medicine that people need to cure their illness or maintain their
            
 health.  Making health drugs and medicines accessible to those who need
            
 them is a service to the people and a fulfillment to the medical
            
 practitioner, whose main role is to ensure that people's health needs are
            
       Aside from making health drugs accessible, healing also concerns
            
 providing counsel for people/patients.  This means that not only do
            
 pharmacists have the role of providing health drugs and medicines to
            
 patients, they also have the role to inform the patients about the
            
 appropriate drug or medicine that they should take for their illness.
            
 Thus, pharmacists act as a  secondary counsel' after doctors and physicians
