The first person we interviewed in Decatur!

This week we interviewed Samantha who works as a pharmacist at St. Mary's Hospital in Decatur Illinois.  She was good at math and science. That is why she wanted to become a pharmacist. She works at St. Mary's, and she is kinda like a safety officer. Nurse and doctors call her. She picks the right and safe medicine so the patients become healthy again. She needs to remember to stay calm so she doesn't make mistakes.  She went to school at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville to earn her Doctor of Pharmacy which is a graduate degree. She's not only working a St. Mary in the evening, and she gets calls from Effingham and Steeter. And her first job of the day is to check and make sure the medicine that the technicians is correct. Her advice to us was to remember to ask for help when you need it.  She also said that this activity you are doing now with your class is helping you develop a network of people that you can turn to when you have questions about your future or need help with your college applications.
