The most honest reason from me is because I want to try my luck in a new field of job so that I'm able to

work remotely from anywhere. I'm planning on to spend more time with my mother by work from
home. But because of my educational background, which is pharmacy, it's nearly impossible for me to
actualize my plan by following a traditional route of career as pharmacist assistance that requires some
sort of fixed registration in one district only and the job obviously cannot be done from home. A little
TMI from me, my mother isn't sick (I really thank God for that) but she's a single mother who live alone
and often go to another district to look after my grandmother. As a daughter, I want to lessen my
mother's burden by give her both emotional and financial supports. Adding into that, I want to improve
myself by upgrading my skills and I believe that every chance to get a new knowledge is a path of life
from God that I should try my best and follow.
