My topic is What was your first dream job? I chose this topic because my future dream when I was little was not to be a pharmacist.

When I was first asked in kindergarten what my dream was, I answered “I wanted be a nurse.” At the Tanabata event, I wrote on a strip of paper and wished that I could become a nurse. I wanted to be a nurse because I had a nurse in my family. I also admired nurses in picture books. As a high school student, I longed to be a dentist or pharmacist even more than I longed to be a nurse. There was no significant reason at that time. However, after the outbreak of COVID19, I chose to become a pharmacist because I strongly felt that I would work in the medical field in the future.

I feel that the medical field does not revolve around doctors alone, and that pharmacist are also greatly involved in the medical field. At the same time, I found it a very rewarding job. Now, I think that I chose a career in pharmacy because when I was a little, I had a longed to be a nurse, a job that involved medical care.
