I was there to teach the kids all about the wonderful world of pharmacy and highlight some of my specific responsibilities as a pharmacist at FLAVORx. The kids loved my presentation and eagerly absorbed the information.   ![Students on the bus](https://blog.flavorx.com/hs-fs/file-538249967-jpg/blog-files/students-on-the-bus-300x300.jpg?width=240&height=240&name=students-on-the-bus-300x300.jpg "Students on the bus")They are 10-years-old, inquisitive, and asked such great questions. I left school convinced that the next time they find themselves struggling with a liquid medication or getting frustrated while trying to swallow a tablet, they will remember that Mrs. Chizhik said that FLAVORx offers great ways to overcome these obstacles.   They were so appreciative that the next day I received a stack of wonderful thank you letters from the students. I was so touched as I read each individual letter; each student thanked me for my time and shared what they learned most from my presentation. If only everyone could be such good listeners! Obviously I cannot share each letter with you since that would simply take up too much time and space, but I thought you might enjoy reading some bits and pieces of what our true target audience has to say about FLAVORx. Kids really have a way with words. Enjoy!   > “My favorite part was when you told us that we should pick our own medicine, and then when I went home I told my mom…that when kids pick their medicine it helps them get better.” ~Rheign > >   > > “I was surprised to learn that there were so many flavors.” ~Gabbie > >   > > “I really enjoyed the Wheel of Yuck and it was a little surprising to learn that there is a spray that can make your tongue slippery for a pill to go down.” ~Paige > >   > > “It was especially interesting when we learned about flavoring of medicine so that kids won’t have difficulty taking it.” ~Hannah > >   > > “I think you did a really good job telling us about your job and the requirements you have to do before you become a pharmacist.” ~Gracie > >   “I learned that you need to be good at math and science if you want to be a pharmacist.” ~Lindsay   “I learned how you test the flavors that you use in medicine to make sure that it is safe and ok for kids to take it.” ~Jayla   “I learned so many new things, for example, I learned that kids have more taste buds than adults.” ~Natalie   “The most interesting thing that I learned was that humans have 10,000 taste buds.” ~Brett   “Being a pharmacist sounds really cool.” ~Michaela   “Making medicines taste better is awesome!” ~Ellie     Topics: [Press Releases](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/press-releases)   [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.flavorx.com%2Fblog%2Fpharmacists-corner%2Fpharmacists-corner-career-day-2%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.flavorx.com%2Fblog%2Fpharmacists-corner%2Fpharmacists-corner-career-day-2%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.flavorx.com%2Fblog%2Fpharmacists-corner%2Fpharmacists-corner-career-day-2%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.flavorx.com%2Fblog%2Fpharmacists-corner%2Fpharmacists-corner-career-day-2%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=A%20Pharmacist%27s%20Career%20Day) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.flavorx.com%2Fblog%2Fpharmacists-corner%2Fpharmacists-corner-career-day-2%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.flavorx.com%2Fblog%2Fpharmacists-corner%2Fpharmacists-corner-career-day-2%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail)   ### Follow Me ### Subscribe to Email Updates [![Learn more about FLAVORx for Pets](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/315725/5f4c0c16-c255-4c7d-8690-289b9d4e94be.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/315725/5f4c0c16-c255-4c7d-8690-289b9d4e94be) ### Recent Posts [![Product Catalog](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/315725/f3a1d38e-db10-4129-9f07-9134680d3026.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/315725/f3a1d38e-db10-4129-9f07-9134680d3026) ### Posts by Topic - [Adherence, Compliance, and Health (64)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/adherence-compliance-and-health) - [Customer Experience & Delight (42)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/customer-experience-delight) - [Press Releases (27)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/press-releases) - [Pharmacy Marketing (26)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/pharmacy-marketing) - [Pharmacy Leaders (23)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/pharmacy-leaders) - [customer care (18)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/customer-care) - [Pharmacy Trends (15)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/pharmacy-trends) - [Millennials and Millennial Moms (13)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/millennials-and-millennial-moms) - [Pets and Pet Health (13)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/pets-and-pet-health) - [flavorx (11)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/flavorx) - [Hispanics & Latina Moms (4)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/hispanics-latina-moms) - [FLAVORx Kids (2)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/flavorx-kids) - [news (2)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/news) - [Testimonials (1)](https://blog.flavorx.com/blog/topic/testimonials) see all # Looking for a Recipe? ## [**VISIT OUR ONLINE FORMULARY**](http://flavorfast.com/fxf/) - [About](http://www.flavorx.com/about/) - [Careers](http://www.flavorx.com/careers/) - [Find FLAVORx](http://www.flavorx.com/find-flavorx/) - [Meet Fred](http://www.flavorx.com/flavorbot/) - [Contact Us](http://www.flavorx.com/contact/) Copyright © 2015 FLAVORx Inc.
