Encouraged to inspire others
As I think back to my APhA2023 experience, I can’t help but be reminded of the excitement I felt. That meeting changed the way I viewed my role as a student pharmacist, and I felt encouraged to inspire others. I remember sitting on the plane and talking with two classmates on how we wanted to take a piece of APhA2023 with us back to our chapter. We wanted those who couldn’t attend to feel the same excitement we did, and the understanding of the power of student pharmacists. I left energized, inspired, and ready to continue serving my community.
To this day, that light has yet to burn out.
