My Bio: Mobolaji Adenuga
Being a first-generation Nigerian American, education and hard work have been instilled in me since I was very young. This also came through seeing my parents working as nurses, contributing their part in the medical world. Through the stories they shared and the countless visits to their workplace, I became fascinated with the field of healthcare. Seeing the interactions within the medical community and the way they promptly aided patients, I knew that this was where I wanted to be. In school, I took several science classes such as chemistry and biology. I was thrilled to learn about chemical interactions, connecting them with my later studies in biology. Seeing the effect substances had on biochemical reactions in the body was intriguing. I knew that through Pharmacy, not only would I become a part of an innovative and trustful healthcare community, but I’d also be able to assist those who are in need, giving them the best results through medication. I want to be a part of a world that strives to mitigate the progression of the symptoms that decline health, ultimately improving the quality of life of others.

Other Accomplishments: Mobolaji Adenuga
One of my biggest accomplishments was passing all the requirements to get my Pharmacy Technician certification. 
  Since the 10th grade,  I've been anticipating the day I could become a pharmacy technician. However, since it required that I graduate high school, I had to wait. Finally, during the summer of 2023 when I graduated I was able to enroll in a pharmacy technician program which required that I participate in 130 hours of in-class learning with quizzes every 2 weeks and 120 hours of internship.  
During my internship, I was able to work with a pharmacist and other pharmacy technicians and I was able to improve my interpersonal skills by talking with the staff and patients. This was great because, despite my reserved nature, I could interact with others and complete my work.  I was also able to get additional managerial abilities when I simultaneously concentrated on my internship and school work when I started university. Finally, after finishing my program and taking an additional 2 months to study for the certification exam, I was so thrilled to pass! This was an accomplishment because I was eager to explore job alternatives and do something outside of school and church, which opened a new world for me.  I was also able to endure through the course and exam, which allowed me to gain new abilities.

Reflective Journal: Mobolaji Adenuga
1) In my own words, a pharmacist is a person who helps dispense and make medicine. A pharmacist also helps counsel their patients on medications to take and their adverse effects.  

2) At first I chose pharmacy because my dad wanted me to and I wanted to be an architect or civil engineer but after researching what Pharmacists do and the pharmacy program in St. Johns I realized that this could work out too. 

3)  I chose to study pharmacy here at St. Johns because I really liked how the pharmacy program was straightforward and I didn't have to go through undergrad and then apply to another pharmacy school. Also, it was closer to home, so while pursuing my degree I can be in an environment that is comfortable for me. 

Reflective Journal: Mobolaji Adenuga
1) Deliberative- This could mean that in most of the things I do, I am analytical. Before making a decision, I carefully think about the action I am taking and its consequences. 
2) Restorative- If there is a problem, or if I am struggling, then I would like to solve/ restore it. 
3)Harmony- I believe that this could mean that even though we all have different opinions, make different decisions, and are in different walks of life, these differences can be used to come together and do something good. 
4)Futuristic- I like to think about how the decisions I make today can help me form the future that I want. I spend a lot of time thinking about the future and the goals needed to make that future happen. 
5)Developer-  I become encouraged when I see the growth in others and how they can take what they have and increase their potential. 
  
  In this list of strengths, one thing I was surprised about was that for some of the strengths, I can see how they can be easily applied to me. For the others, although I was surprised to have them, after some thinking and self- analyzation I can see how I got them. Now knowing that these are my top 5 strengths, I can apply them into my academic and social life. Through this, I could potentially know in which situations I could thrive and how to handle situations in which I struggle.
