Sanya Romeo : How 5 years in pharmacy school shaped my life.

Hello Sir, good evening. We'll like to know you.


Hello. Good day. I'm Sanya Romeo. I'm a pharmacist, and I recently got my B.Pharm from the faculty of pharmacy, OOUTH, Shagamu. I'm part of the new inductees, and I'm grateful to God for it.


Well said sir, well said. With you recently finishing pharmacy school along with its ups and downs, I'd like to know sir, how did u do it?


Honestly, I couldn't have done it without God. He was and will always be there for us.


There were many people who didn't get this chance —jamb admission into pharmacy. I did and then proceeded to Ago for 100l. It was interesting and fine.


My 200l days were good. It was a very exciting period for me. Some people had issues then but I was okay.


300l first semester, I had a carry over course.. Pharmacology. I fought hard, and it was okay in the end.


400l came, and I started reading at night. Sometimes I used nescafe. It wasn't rosy.


500l came and IT started November, and ran through to December—just two months.


Where I was, I really wanted to give my best. I learned there, that life outside school is different.


We didn't attend much classes then—we learned fast though.


My first salary was for my parents. I used the next to start a business.


That's good to know sir. What business did u venture into?


Primarily, I used that period to hone my skills as an entrepreneur, early in 500l.


My business then, was centered on CREATING PUBLICITY, and it was very interesting.


Then in 500l, we already knew lecturer styles, so we prepared well.


I was into politics as well— Speaker, House of Rep, 400l. I liked the experience.


I did my project in pharmaceutics, and I did it myself (smiles).


Everything Just turned out pretty well!


Yes sir. Things really did turn out well. To other pharmacy students coming after you, what would you like to say?


Well, to you guys coming to join us, I'll say this — Continue striving for it, because you're doing the right thing.


Night and group readings work well. Make sure to find yourself. Don't party away and forget to read, and don't read so much that you'll forget to have some fun.


We passed because we played our cards right. You'll do so too!


Wow. They'll really like that. Thank you Pharm Sanya Romeo for your time. We'll be seeing more of you at the top.


Most definitely.
