Personal Statement:
Growing up with a family strongly affiliated in the medical profession, I find myself also leaning toward the field, particularly pharmacy. Throughout my academic career, I have always found myself excelling in the science curriculum, so in the future I want to incorporate science into my life and make that the foundation of my career. Also, I want to be in a school that gives back to the community. Learning the importance of community service and serving the society that has given me so much is a major part of the career choice I want to pursue. As a pharmacist, I get to work directly with the community and incorporate these values as well as help people deal with their number one priority, their health. Not only do today’s pharmacists count pills, but new laws have been passed across the United States that enables pharmacists to perform check-ups on patients’ blood pressure and give patients vaccinations for some illnesses. In view of my commitment to a diverse population, I hope to use the academic programs to combine my leadership abilities with the social opportunities that will enhance my college experience. I know St. John’s will provide me with the challenges I seek to grow into a well rounded young adult.
So what do you guys think? Do you think I should wait for St. John’s or should I enroll into MCPHS Boston Pharmacy program?
Another thing–I used the SuperMatch feature (on CollegeConfidential) — where I compared my results — and it said I have a high 97-98% chance of getting into St. John’s PharmD program but I don’t know if this feature is accurate or precise. So yeah, what do you guys think, what are my chances of getting into St. John’s University Queens Pharmacy?

What Is A Non-profit Organization?


I work in a historic museum that is well supported by its community and the city. One day a customer came into my organization looked around, and started suggesting that we sell more framed prints in order to make a profit, she said, “you could make a profit”. It seemed like she was unsatisfied with the museum, it is a small museum, but it has its purpose. it was like she was unhappy with the tourism aspect of our organization. Is it appropriate to suggest something like that to an organization that is non-profit. It is our members, visitors, patrons, and trustees that make our organization what it is.
Was it rude of her? She was not a member, and she was not affiliated with the historic association by business. She did not even hand over a business card. What do you suppose her motive was? Would you ever just walk in to a non-profit historic organization and start suggesting things tp sell in order to make a profit? just wondering…

Do You Think This Kid Is A Gang Member Or Gang Affiliated?


Ok, so I know this kid who throws up gang signs in just about every one of his pictures. He throws up the Blood’s gang sign in almost every picture. I know a good amount about him but not everything. He goes to a community college, is on the computer a lot, is really goofy/almost nerdy, backs out of fist fights, is about peace, barley has any friends, and lives in a middle class suburb. There are some people who tell him to “rep that ****” in his pictures. One of the kids who was encouraging the kid to throw gang signs is a goody-goody who is also just about best friends with the kid. I dislike this kid and he seems like a real wuss. I have met a real gangster who has put in work with his gang around my city(hardcore things I never thought happened in my city..he had huge scars all over his hands from fighting and had a bullet wound he showed me) and I asked this legit gangster if he had ever heard of the kid and he said he hadn’t, which he seemed to know most of the real gangsters in my city. I am just wondering why this kid who I am almost 100% phony is throwing up Blood gang signs in all of his pictures and some other people encouraging it. Is he gang affiliated or something? He wears the color red a lot also. I also have checked his criminal background on the internet(legal, free, and legit way) and he only had a driving violation. Give me your thoughts on why this clown is posing as a Blood gang member? Hell, my city isn’t even known for Bloods.

When The People Stop Attending Mass, Have The Clergy Won?


I’m sorry. This is a snotty question to ask, but the lack of joy that accompanies any discussion of being a member of a believing community (in my case, Catholic) really sucks. Back when I was a kid, life really did revolve around the church community. It was not just sunday Mass: it was school and celebrations of minor feast days and music and art and scouts and little league and fish fries and … just a lot of fun and good life. It was energetic and rich, regardless of how well-off or poor we were economically. I’m watching all the network “Christmas”-related programming lately and to me it looks like popular culture is utterly clueless about why this holiday has such a name. It’s all just louder and flashier advertising so that it looks a little different from the loud, flashy advertising that now drones on all year long.
For the last several decades, both the fake-fundy republicans and poorly-selected clergy have mis-marketed Jesus as a mouthpiece for their own neuroses and agendas rather than permitting his ultimate instruction that we “love one another” to be heard…the message that gave rise to that warm and supportive community and all that fun.
Even if you can’t stand how boring, opinionated or out of touch your priest or minister is, just pay attention to the Word, and even if a lot of that seems incomprehensible, filter it through the lens of “love one another” and you’ll probably hear it right…and it probably does not have a whole heck of a lot to do with angel wings taped to the underfed shoulders of a Victoria’s Secret model. Give me a break.

This is supposed to be my senior year. a majority of my friends have already gotten their acceptance letters to schools and things like that.
-I want to be a photographer will any high end art schools take someone who only has a GED?
The Ged program i am interested in is affiliated with the community college I plan to go to.

Please do not leave links to web pages that do not have someone you can talk to. i dont do well unless my questions can be answered not just anyones questions.
Thank you for anything you can do.
