Additional three letters to complete my name, RPh (Registered Pharmacist). Fortunate enough to be one of those 576 board passers out of 1,109 who took the exam last January 15-16, 2012. Yay!
Who says it pure luck? It's hard work, baby! Shallow men believe in luck but, strong men believe in cause and effect. I do think everything one needs to know for the board exam is wrapped up in those four years in college. A big thanks to our USC - Department of Pharmacy for providing quality education and of course, personal efforts (ehem!) and prayers. So if you're a pharmacy student and has been reading my blog, I highly suggest that you start reading your books and pay more attention to your teacher. You'll learn its importance and realize that all the whining on school work as a student are going to be just jokes that you'd love to reminisce later on.
When the results were out the day after the exam, I was dumbfounded. Part of me was in sympathy for those who weren't able to make it yet, I couldn't contain the joy from within telling me that I've made it! Such fleeting happiness felt that I could hardly sleep because a big grin can't be wiped off my face and eyes just want to pop out of excitement! Plus, parents, relatives, and friends rejoice with you because of such achievement. Remembering those things still makes me feel all giddy. *u*
Last March 3, Honoring Ceremony at Patio Isabel with the new Dean, Dept. of Pharmacy faculty and staff and Father Miranda. Inspiring messages from such remarkable persons. Talk about school pride!
Forcefully I had to create a speech out of wit's end the morning that day. I was entirely speechless days before the event but it was an honor to be able to express my utmost and profound gratitude in behalf of my new licensed Carolinian pharmacists. The school and our dear teachers also deserve a warm congratulations for their success throughout the years of producing competent professionals. Remember what John Maxwell said? “True success comes only when every generation continues to develop the next generation.”
Oath Taking Ceremony that night at the Diplomat Hotel with more new pharmacists who share the same victory from different schools with their ever loving and supportive parents who deserve a handshake of congratulations too!:) Hon. Jennifer Flores, from the Board of Pharmacy shared her words of wisdom that gave us some enlightenment of our profession and she added that our batch is "tahimik and disiplinado.. at maraming magaganda" I'd like to believe that there's a truth in that! Hahaha! That day was another milestone in our life. It was the start of the entity of our profession. And we will never forget and will unceasingly thank Him who has made everything possible for us.
