Why did I choose Chemistry and Pharmacy?

Well, when I was a kid I wanted to work in many things when I grew up. Among them, architect, scientist or train engineer. When I was a kid I really liked trains and dreamed of driving one. However, as a teenager I wasn't interested in what to work on in my adult life. It took me a few years after graduating from high school to decide to study Chemistry and Pharmacy.

When I applied to university, I had no other career options besides Chemistry and Pharmacy. It was my first and last choice. It was all or nothing.

I decided to study this career because I like both Chemistry and Biology, in particular human biology. They were the subjects I mastered best in high school, so this career seemed like a good career choice.

My experience at the university has not been easy, but it is not hell either, I do not depend economically on my parents nor do I live with them, so I have to work to have money to survive. However, with the experience I have learned to keep my life under control.

I admire him because he was the father of vaccination, a discovery that has saved millions of lives. Edward Jenner was an English physician and scientist who developed the first vaccine, in 1796.  Although in those times there were already techniques to immunize the body against diseases, these were very dangerous, since several of these techniques consisted of introducing secretions into the body (for example, pus from scabs) containing microorganisms of the disease against which the patient was to be immunized, but this often led to the onset of the disease and even death.  Edward Jenner discovered that people infected with a cow disease called cowpox (a "smallpox-like disease" of cows that produces mild, non-lethal symptoms in humans) were immune to smallpox. Knowing this, Jenner inocul...
