Today we had a group of pharmacy students visiting our facility. I was involved in the touring process. Their reactions, questions were interesting to me. You could see which ones are actually listening to the experts in each department and which ones are out of it!

When touring the warehouse area, the tour guide for that area mentioned to the students that sometimes a pharmacist work in the cages for narcotics! Once she said it, a white girl instantly raised her hand and said: " I don't think any pharmacist would like to work there!!"

What she said reminded me of my last year of school, when we toured several plants. I remember in one of the tours, the environment of the plant was so noisy and harsh that I told my classmate, "what did the workers do in their life to deserve to work in such a horrible place."

I was young and naive. Life put me through situations that I learnt that I should be careful of what I say. Despite our attempt to move toward what we want, most of the times, life throws curve balls at us. I learnt to keep my dreams alive while staying focus in the process. Most importantly keep being humble. It took me a while to learn this lessen but I am glad I had the opportunity to see world differently meet people of different financial and cultural background and appreciate every situation in life instead of whining about it.
