I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Broadmoor Food Pantry managed in association with Broadmoor Community Church, which was a truly rewarding experience. This pantry occurs every Tuesday and Wednesday to better serve local New Orleans residents. I joined a group of dedicated volunteers to support our local community through food delivery. My primary tasks were assembling and packaging boxes filled with essential items and helping with any assistance to bring the boxes to the vehicles. These boxes were like care packages, filled with nourishment and care. We shared local experiences and connected on several aspects since I am now a New Orleans resident. It felt incredible to be part of the team that made this possible. We can sometimes get so caught up in our lives, that it was nice to take a step back and view things from different lenses. I am extremely grateful to have had this experience and fully intend to return to show my appreciation and contribution through more service work.

My experience with the Master's Pharmacology program has honestly been enjoyable thus far, as I reflect back on my journey one month into the program. The first two weeks of class brought a sense of overwhelment due to the volume of information we had to grasp and organize but I soon adapted after implementing effective organizational techniques and creating a system. This adjustment boosted my confidence and performance in the course. At this point, I feel like I have mastered my studying habits and organizational skills in order to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the topics discussed. In my opinion, although the program is fast-paced, it is not hard if you take time aside to study at least 2-5 hours a day. I think the program equips us with enough helpful resources to make us understand and grasp the areas not well understood. I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this program as the information is incredibly interesting and reinforces essential concepts if you are preparing for the MCAT.
