Lonely,

First off, whatever you do don't mention your family's aspirations for you to go into the medical field! I would build on your love of chemistry and add in some other factors about being a pharmacist that appeal to you - whether it is the ability to help others, making advances in the field of medicine, etc. In my statement I talked about how I would either want to work in retail (and why) and/or for the government -- the Veterans administration.

I'm planning to apply to some pharmacy schools this year, but I'm stuck on the essay part of the application, which I have to state my motivation and professional career goals for pharmacy. I don't have any life-changing experience that leads me toward pharmacy. My family wants me to do something in the medical field and honestly, pharmacy is the only medical profession that I can actually make it. I love chemistry especially organic chemistry because I excel in those areas. I love synthesizing stuff and pharmacy is about making and syntheszing drugs. Can a pharmacy student or anyone give me some pointers and guidance (you can shoot me a pm). Thanks alot.

that would be a phD not a pharmD

You must not be a real pharmacy student then. Ever heard of compounding pharmacy?

Compounding is more for working with pre-synthesized materials and not actually going through the whole manufacturing process, which some PhD researchers do.

I'm sure he wasn't implying the synthesis of raw products to something you dispense.

Or maybe he is? He just didn't know that pHD exists?
