When You Tell One Lie

Paul Hatch 

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

So you tell two lies to cover each other

Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,

You're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told

And half things you say aren't true

And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying

And each lie you tell will keep multiplying

'Til the whole wide world will know you're lying

Then you'll be

Suspected

Detected 

Rejected

Neglected 

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you're closing the door

On everything good

"Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have" 

- Thomas Edison, Inventor

Edison, is telling us how we shouldn't base ourselves on the materials we have, if not in what we give. If we do well for others and for ourselves that makes us a better person. If we are trustworthy too we are a better person because people can look up to you as a role model.

Pharmacist

Duties and Responsibilities: 

Pharmacists compound, or prepare, prescriptions written by physicians, dentists, and other practitioners.  They review these prescriptions to validate their accuracy and then prepare the medication.  This can involve weighing, measuring, and mixing drugs.  Once the compounds are prepared, pharmacists then dispense them to customers and patients. Pharmacists answer patients' and customers' questions about the drugs they are taking and drugs which can be sold over the counter.  In some cases, pharmacists are responsible for taking inventory of the drugs on the shelves and ordering any which they are low on.  Pharmacists work in hospitals, clinics, health departments, universities, and grocery, drug, and discount stores.  Those who work in stores must be aware of the other health supplies available in the store so they do not direct customers in the wrong direction.

Salary: $33,000 - $51,000

Education:Students should take the most challenging high school classes (including AP or IB) available in English, science, and math. 

All pharmacists must graduate from a college of pharmacy.  Most pharmacy schools require applicants to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test (P-CAT), and some require up to two years of pre-pharmacy education.  Other colleges will admit students directly from high school. 

Normally it takes at least five years to earn a Pharmacy Degree.  To earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree,  Pharm.D., requires at least six.
