From now until the end of my future pharmacy career, this picture of the periodic table will always have an impact on my life. I have completed one third of my pre requisites for the pharmacy program. After two semesters of completing general chemistry, I have collected an abundance of periodic tables. For every test and quiz I have taken, I have been given a periodic table that looks as plain and boring as the one pictured above. This diagram, picture, work of art, whatever you wanna call it is a reference for me to remember elements and their properties. I chose a black and white periodic table because that’s what science is to me. You are either right or wrong. There is no in between or vague concepts about science. It is all known. Although the periodic table shows only a few letters coupled with numbers, it represents a lot. The periodic table represents my love for chemistry and it all started in the tenth grade with Mrs. Himmelberg, the not so nice teacher of Fairport High. Even though she wasn’t the greatest teacher, learning about the elements on the table fascinated me because each element is different in its own way, it involves math, and staying focused. For example, when doing chemistry experiments in lab every Thursday night, I need to make sure I follow the directions and read carefully because I could burn my hands with an extremely concentrated compound such as sulfuric acid, which is very acidic. In conclusion, this table basically sums up the past year, present, and the future of my career whether it takes me into pharmacy or not, I know it will be a part of my life.
