John Stith Pemberton



        I admit that i have never been asked what pharmacist i admire, my biggest idol in the area is Dr. Simi, who doesn't like the way he dances? But unfortunately it's just a publicity image from a pharmacy, so  get serious.
 The first thing i did was look for famous pharmacists and in my quest found that the inventor of the Coca-Cola was our colleague, i was very surprised, probably several knew this, but i didn't know it and i found it very interesting so i decided to look more about it… John Pemberton.

John Stith Pemberton was an American pharmaceutical chemist, was born on July 8 of 1831, in Knoxville, Georgia, and died on August 16 of 1888, in Atlanta.
John was a military servant during the civil war in 1865 where he received a sabre cut in his chest, he used morphine to soothe the pain, but became addicted to this. Looking for a cure for his addiction, he's dedicated to inventing “medicine final and the alcoholic drink perfect” so get to the Coca-Cola that in its pioneering version was called Pemberton’s French Wine Coca and he wore wine and cocaine. Later, it's passed a dry law in Atlanta and had to make a new format non-alcoholic, of this is the original formula of Coca-Cola.
Pemberton he didn’t know get profits with his invention and died  at 57 years old, in the poverty, addicted to morphine, cocaine and with stomach cancer.

Conclusi贸n, i don’t think so was a very dignified man to admire, but if a story worthy of counting.

Pharmaceutical




    Even though i am still just a student of chemistry and pharmacy, i already have an idea of what being a pharmacist means.
Before entering to university i never knew right what i wanted to study, then i had to investigate a lot about the careers that called me attention, also learned a lot more during my semesters in the faculty, thanks to the teachers, to my classmates and my own interest in the career that has been increasing a lot.
Chemistry and pharmacy has a huge job opportunity, many areas that i can dedicate myself to in the future, but all of them have as their main purpose, to be a contribution to society, and that is what i like the most馃槏. I dream of becoming a future next in a great pharmaceutical, create drugs to save lives, guide the people to a better self careful, among other things.
Sometimes i think how much i'd like right now have all the knowledge needed to find a cure against the Covid-19, to be canto help the planet with the severe pandemic we are going through, i don't want it to go on getting sick and even dying innocent people馃様.

QUARANTINED BIRTHDAY




In the photo you see my birthday cake, i prepared myself hahaha, i remember that the day before my birthday with my mom we quickly went downtown to buy one thing else to eat the next day, among them, a cake, but no pastry was open and i told my mother, it doesn't matter, i myself cook something to sing birthday haha, i made some biscuits style pancake, a chantilly cream of lucuma and added also sweet of milk and damask jam, and so i went layer by layer filling it with each filling, then decore it with chantilly cream, colorful sparks and chocolate sauce. Evidently my birthday cake was not the cutest馃槀馃槀 but I assure you that taste was super exquisite.

May 15 (my birthday) first i participated in online classes then shared with my family, was a lonely day, i spent it alone with my mother, my godmother and my dog, because, my father and brother, unfortunately, despite the coronavirus and all that envolves, must continue to work馃槥, like many of our families.

I chose this photo because i feel that it conveys a lot of what this quarantine has been for many of us, surrounded by our closest loved ones and no one else, with simplicity and without much to do beyond eating, sleeping and studying馃槖.
