Jeon, Heekyung: Bucket List


There are several things on my mind I wish to accomplish before I die, so that I could say I lived my life with no regrets.

First, I would like to go to pharmacy school and start my career as a pharmacist. I have wanted to be a pharmacist since I overheard my doctor saying that his patient’s eyes were totally ruined because a pharmacist gave him a medicine without an examination and a doctor's prescription. I would always place patients' care in the first. Also, I'd like to make medicines to cure rare diseases.

The second thing I would like to do is to continue volunteering. Whenever I have contributed to others, even though all I could provide was just a little bit of help, it always gave me a great pleasure. I strongly believe that a little help makes a big difference.

The next thing on my bucket list is to keep learning and studying until I die. I am passionate about studying a lot of things I do not know well. The more I learn, the more it fascinates me. Although my major is chemistry, I would love to explore other subjects such as geography, philosophy, humanities, and the arts. Learning makes me think more deeply about life, the world, people and, gives me a wider perspective.

Last, I want to travel all over the world and learn about other cultures. As a child, I went to other countries and could see what I would have never known if I only stayed in my country. The people, the food, the culture, the language were all different. For the first time, I was scared of what I have not experienced before but soon realized we are all the same people no matter how different cultures we have. Those experiences inspired me to think more about other people and their unique cultures I could never see in Korea.
