Certification, Completeness, and Plans

So, this week has been a pretty good one. I took my National Pharmacy Technician Certification test this morning. And I passed!! YAY!! That means that very soon now I will finally be a technician. I'm pretty excited. Hopefully that means I'll be able to find a job in Salt Lake at a pharmacy and gain more experience and have better chances for getting into the pharmacy school that I want to.

It's interesting how life works out. I never dreamed of being a pharmacist. It was never something that seemed to appeal to me growing up. But for some reason it was put into my head that was what I needed to do, and so I charted that course and followed it, and to my surprise, it's very different than I expected. It turns out that I love it. Working in the pharmacy has been an eye opening experience. I have always had a thirst for knowledge. I like to know things. Small facts, random knowledge. And it is fascinating everyday to see the amount of knowledge that this path I have chosen for myself has to offer. Everyday I see the amount that each pharmacist knows about things that are useful besides just being interesting, and I am beginning to learn to thrive in this situation I have put myself in. And everyday I begin to love the path and my job even more.

So, my dare for today? I dare you to not be afraid to try something new. Don't think that just because it sounds frightening that it isn't worth it. Dare to try for it, because you never know what will happen. You never know when you may find the thing that you were meant for and more happiness than you knew was possible.
