The Life Of A Mom As A Pharmaceutical Representative
My Mom is very busy multi-tasking throughout the day. She has been working from home this past year but usually spends her days driving from multiple community mental health centers where she meets with doctors, nurses, therapists and pharmacists. She spends her time talking to people about the benefits of her medication in hopes that when a provider sees the opportunity, they think of her medication first. "The great thing about the pharmaceutical industry, is that there are so many different options when it comes to treating patients. When a provider thinks of my medication first to help their patients, I know that I've done my job and find joy knowing that the patient is going to feel better." When she is in her company car, she finds ways to be productive while driving. I asked her if it is hard being in the car all day and she said, "No, I enjoy listening to music and audiobooks, praying and saying the Rosary."
My mom is super smart and very nice. She is always in the right mood and likes to make people laugh. She has a gift of putting smiles on other peoples' faces even if they aren't in the best of moods. As I am asking questions, my mom answers all of my questions with her hands flying all over the room which is so typical of her.
Quotation Marks
Before entering the pharmaceutical industry, she kept busy. She started working at a very early age because she never wanted to ask her mom, who was a single parent, for money. “Money always motivated me, so I did whatever the neighbors needed me to.” This included babysitting, pulling weeds, walking dogs, and mowing lawns. “I worked at Factory Card Outlet and was a waitress all through college.” My Mom has always been very motivated and wants to excel at whatever job she is given whether it is mowing lawns, babysitting, or blowing up balloons at Factory Card Outlet.

Quotation Marks
There are many daily challenges that she is faced with in the medical field, but also positive ones as well. The easiest aspect is that she has always been an extrovert and loves to talk, so building relationships comes natural to her. “I love interacting with customers and becoming a part of their treatment team. When they see me as a valuable resource, I know that I’ve done my job.”
My Mom always says that her first job is being a mom, but unfortunately that doesn't pay the bills. She laughs and tells me that her side job is in the pharmaceutical industry as a sales representative with Alkermes. She is a very hard working lady who is always helping other people. She said, "My favorite thing about this job is being able to help people who suffer from mental illness.” There have been numerous challenges during the pandemic that have impacted her being effective at her job. "It has been very difficult during these times," she said, "because a large part of being a sales representative is the relationship that you have with your customers. It’s not the same selling your product over the phone or through an email." She added, “The most difficult part about my job is not seeing immediate return on my sales efforts. Also, providers are so busy that you don’t always get a lot of time with them. You have to be able to use the time you do get, wisely.”
Being a pharmaceutical representative has many benefits, including being able to help support our family. She is helping so many people who suffer from mental illness. If you have any interest in learning more about being a pharmaceutical representative, my mom would love to talk to you about it. She gives great advice although she said "she'd probably be better at giving you advice on being a mom... Being a Mom always comes first!"

Grandpa Bill's Life
Star
By: Ella Coup
Waking up with three siblings by my side, grabbing a quick breakfast and heading outside to play some softball. When that gets too boring, it’s time to ride some bikes. Maybe we should head to the gas station to grab some lunch. Let’s hang with the girls but make sure dad doesn’t see us. We have to be back by 9:00 or else we face the wrath of the belt. That’s just a normal day in the life of a teenager in the 1960s. But he’s grown up and mature now (maybe).
“As a teenager I was Planter’s Peanut.” In other words, my Grandpa Bill would stand at the corner of the street in a Planter’s Peanut outfit trying to sell peanuts. Grandpa Bill is a funny guy, and he always has almost too much to say. You can find him either watching Hallmark movies or playing on his computer. A retired Navy seaman and policemen, he has a lot up his sleeve. Is your grandpa this nifty?



Ever wondered how it would feel to share a room with 6 people? Grandpa Bill lived in a tiny house with 6 brothers (in age order): Jack, Tex/Herbert Jr., Bill, Jim, Mike, Lee; he didn’t sleep much. Grandpa Bill was the 3rd oldest, so he got to be in the big kid room. Bill described it as “full of people, and very crowded.” One room had 3 beds for the oldest. The other room had two bunk beds and one big bed for the youngest boys and their cousin. They “started in bunk beds, then moved to Sandusky,” he told me. He grew up on Sandusky Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas (KCK).

Bill went to school in KCK and had a large amount of troubles on the way. He went to St. Anthony’s Catholic Grade School and graduated in 1956. He went to high school at Bishop Ward and graduated in 1960. He also had some troubles: “Speech was a big factor of my childhood.” He also struggled having an unusual amount of brothers. He decided to work on his speech, practicing it every day and working with speech specialists. As a result, he rarely messes it up.
