“Being a part of APhA–Academy of Student Pharmacists (ASP) has been one of the best decisions I have made in my pharmacy career. This organization has brought me so much fulfillment as a student pharmacist and has made a great impact as to how far I have come in my career.” One of my best experiences during the semester was attending Midyear Regional Meetings and Annual Meetings. Through these events, I met the most amazing people I know today. Making these connections assisted me not only in my professional growth but also by giving me the tools to assist others. I never really felt like I belonged to the pharmacy profession until I joined APhA–ASP. For me, it was a mindblowing experience; I felt home. I was afforded the opportunity to develop leadership skills by being involved in projects involving operations and also by becoming president of our chapter. Being a part of APhA–ASP for me is being a part of an organization that cares about the profession of pharmacy and encourages advocacy. I always feel like I am involved in all the policy changes and that my input matters. APhA–ASP is very diverse, and I am glad to call it home. The most exciting thing about the profession of pharmacy is that it is constantly changing and pharmacists are increasingly recognized as an integral part of health care. On a very busy day at my pharmacy, I encountered an older woman who was prescribed a statin drug. While talking to her, I noticed her movement was slower than normal and asked her, “Do you feel any muscle pain?” and she replied, “Yes.” After counseling her on how the drug she was taking had a known adverse effect of muscle pain, I recommended she buy CoQ10 [Coenzyme Q10] OTC supplement to help with the pain. A few days later, she returned to the pharmacy to thank me and say she no longer feels pain after taking the OTC drug I recommended. At that moment, I felt I made a measurable impact, and the feeling that comes with that is irreplaceable. I am glad to be part of a profession that saves lives and puts a smile on others’ faces.
