More or less, all of us have some kind of dream in our lives. Dream has to be the vision of own. If you don't have feelings for dreams, then it's not a dream. To make others' wishes your own, can’t be a dream. It should be called responsibility.
Because of not understending the difference between the term dream and responsibility in my life, despite achieving a lot, the feeling of getting nothing is all over me.
A student growing up in such a society and environment which is careless and unaware of education, is must be injected MEDICAL as his dream. It is foolish to expect anything else.
To me reading the chemistry section of the science book of class 8 was so interesting that i used to say, "I will do PhD in chemistry". But an obstacle was created in such thinking.
Since then, I put the word 'have to be a doctor' in my mind in such a way that I never had a hearty conversation, laugh or hangout until the medical exam was given. I felt that I would lose everything in life if medical won’t.
My dream was to admit myself in a renowned university for chemistry and awarded rebirth as 'Son of Chemistry'. I never felt any affection for medical. I took it as just a way to exonerate myself.
Anyway at the admission time, I was allowed to take only medical preparation. So after finishing my dream, I started running for the time being. But medical refused me. I had lost all the chaces but appearing in GST exam. I appeared the exam and achieved fairly good result.
For the first time in life, while giving subject choice, I heard about pharmacy subject. I was glad to think that at least I can say I’m studying medicine related subject. Since I had a fantasy for Cumilla before, I got admitted at pharmacy department in Comilla University.
After a few days, I met with a nightmare. A pharmacy shopkeeper in my region, who has been recognized as a doctor after taking pharmacy sellsman course, responded to his question when I told him about the pharmacy. He said, "You can do nothing but work in medicine shop." And he repeated it to my father. At that time, I looked like thunderstruck. I had nothing to say.
After starting my studies in pharmacy, I came to know that my country itself doesn’t pay us what we deserve. But I know pharmacy is royal. For now, pausing the dream of becoming a "Son of Chemistry", started dreaming to be a royal and loyal pharmacist.
Taking pharmacy as my dream, with my elders, I also involved myself in the struggle to get pharmacy accredit in the country and to make people realize its greatness and necessity.
