Hi my name is Ameriah Sanchez. I am a Pre-Pharmacy student at the University of Texas at El Paso. I would like to get into the Eshelman School of Pharmacy at UNC Chapel Hill or into the Cooperative Pharmacy program at UT Austin. I hope to one day become a successful pharmacists and/or study nuclear pharmacology. I am very much interested in healthcare and medical issues. In my English 1311 class we were asked to pick a topic that we wanted to research and become more knowledgeable on. I decided to research Anorexia Nervosa for my topic since I am interested in the medical field and the health of today’s youth. I found this topic interesting because it deals with a different aspect of the medical field. In pharmacology you must know of different drugs to help treat eating disorders. Anorexia Nervosa is typically found in young women and teenagers. Since I am a young teenager I found this topic interesting because many young girls, my age, and even younger are suffering from this illness. Most of the time this illness is unnoticed or ignored. I wanted to research this illness to gain insight and show others how the reality of poor body image and eating habits of today’s youth are becoming more and more negative.
