Personal statement..

do you know what you need to put in the statement?

salam sis,

urm yeh...

Why I have chosen the courses
What interests me about the chosen subject.
What career plans I have for when I complete the course.
Any job, work experience, placement or voluntary work I have done.

It sounds easy enough lol, but I've got writers block!

w'salam

i see. lets start.
to whom it may concern,
i am writing to you in regards to the blah blah (sorry) course that you have on offer.
howz that for a start?

oh oh, i've thought of some more.
taking into account my blah blah (job, work experience, placement or voluntary work I have done), which shows my keen commitment and interest in the pharmacy industry (well duh maryam, why else would she have applied), where i can blah blah (What career plans I have for when I complete the course), once i am finished.
so far so good? or should i stop here.

^ Jazakhallah loads sis! You've deffinatly started me off..inshallah i'll be able to carry on with it jazaks *hugs* (tho any other ideas are more than welcome )

But first I have to finish this essay *yawn* there's soo much to do!

Neway jazakhallah again..

w'salam

^lol...so much to do...just the words that pefectly describe me

yeh, i think when doing stuff like this you just mainly have to stress how keen u r, and that you are keen, hard working, determined etc etc...

basically, describe yourself as someone who the university will think that "this person will go far"

but then and again...ive never done this before...im just telling you what i would do

Will you guys give me a few pointers on how to go about it..

Any info would be appreciated

Jazakhallah khair in advance

W'salam

start by introducing a short personal story on what attracted you to pharmacy, and place that in the intro as to automatically attract the reader

follow it by a bit of your academic background,your personal interests,and hobbies, and how pharmacy school well help you cultivate those.

speak a bit of where you think pharmacy school will take you, the changing face of this career, the need for pharmacists what pharmacists do to save lives and how you'd like to be very much a part of that.

My sibling is a doctor of pharmacology and I have come to love and respect pharmacists through her, there were truly many times when she has saved lives or slaved over making compounds for infants going with their parents to tropical places, which is in and of itself an obsolete art, but an astute pharmacists isn't simply trained to by books it is a practical life long application, so just wrap all that above in some beautiful imagery of old apothecarian making concoctions for people, inject humor, add some virtue like the first medicine made by such and such pharmacist, or coco cola or the flavoring in cough syrup so children may take their meds...

and before you know it, you are on your way to become a successful pharmacist insha'Allah..

I'll be thinking of you-- best of luck dear sis-- Godspeed to you...

Salam sister PA,

I'll be thinking of you-- best of luck dear sis-- Godspeed to you...
