Summary#3

This summary will include two articles. One is come from ASU library, anther is come from New York time articles. These two articles talks about what do you want to be.

The author in the ASU library article named Cynthia J. Boyle PharmD. In the article she give her own example to claim what she wants to do to encourage people. In the article, she said she want to be a pharmacist when she studied in high school. When patients approached the pharmacy counter and asked for the pharmacists, she replied, “I am the pharmacist”. But the patients replied, “I want the man pharmacist.” The author want to change that. When she changed a place to work. They met very late at night in backroom of pharmacies or in the small restaurants after all the pharmacies had closed. And she learned it is very hard to be professionally transplanted into a new state where laws are unfamiliar and professional norms uncertain. Gradually she was accepted as she became more involved. And now she want to be a mentor, advocate, and leader. She increased the numbers of students she precepts as she created a diabetes care center in her pharmacy. At the end, she encourage people to create their future built on experience and transformed by being caring, connected and committed. To think about what do you want to do regardless of your academic rank or tenure status, nearly all faculty have benefited from a mentor or adviser at some point.

Other author named Michael Gonchar, in the article he said,If you’re relying on a commencement speaker to set your compass, you may still be confused at day’s end. In my experience, it’s common to hear “Follow your passion” from the podium. This is great counsel if, in fact, you know what that passion is. But what if you don’t? Young graduates might imagine that discovering your passion happens the way it does in a movie: with a flash of insight and a trumpet blast. Before that flash, you were struggling to find yourself, and in the next moment, you know exactly who you were meant to be. Thus, authors advice to young graduates is not to “follow your passion” but rather, to “foster your passion.” Then in the articles, he said three recommendations:1.Move toward what interests you. 2.Seek purpose. 3.Finish strong.
