Hello and welcome to my first blog! My name is Taeam Kang and I will be taking you all on a trip down my life. I first came to the University of Oklahoma to major in Microbiology, Pre-Dental. I enjoyed the field of dentistry and made the effort the past three years to work and get as many shadowing hours and experience as possible. However, this past summer I had a change of heart and changed my major to Pre-Pharmacy in hopes to further my education in pharmacy school. My career goal is to become a head pharmacist for Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. The reason I decided on Pre-Pharmacy rather than Pre-Dental is my hands strangely shake constantly and I decided it’d be best if I did not choose the hand-on surgery route. It is not a serious condition as one can barely even noticed without staring hard at my hands, but I will entrust the field of dentistry to those more qualified.
I currently live with six of my friends in a house near
Campus Corner. My family consists of my mother, step-father, and an older
sister who attends the University of Oklahoma with me. My family used to have a
dog and two lovely cats, but our dog died of old age and we gave our kitties
away to our grandmother, who keeps 12 cats in her home.
My ultimate life goal is to give back. When I first
moved to the U.S. 12 years ago, I was blessed with countless friends and those
who wanted to help get myself settled in a new country. Those people continued to
help and give and it really helped me open my eyes on what is important. I
believe in a society where we can continue to help and bring each other up
rather than dividing and blaming each other for all world problems. It is a vision
of mine to see that the less capable people in the world, especially in the third-world
countries get all the healthcare and medication they need without suffering.
One of my favorite places to be besides my room, is
Pagosa Springs, CO. One of my best friend’s family has a condo up there where
my friend group takes a trip to every Christmas break. I know, it’s just
Colorado. However, this place will never be beaten as it is a tradition for our
friend group now and we plan on continuing this tradition even after starting
our own families one day. It’s just really monumental for our friendship, ok.
Well, I hope this explained the type of person I am a
little bit, I’ll see you guys next time 😊
