A British actress named Hannah Murray once said, “I really loved animals when I was little - my friend and I had an imaginary vet 's office; we would mime doing surgery on animals. We treated more injuries than illnesses - fixing with a baby bear with a broken leg, removing a tumor. Of course, our surgeries would take about five seconds; that 's how good we were.” As far back as one girl can remember, she always had a pet of some kind. She currently has a pet dog, and she became sick, and would have seizures. When her mom and took her to the Vet’s office, she remembers how the doctor saved her dog’s life and how grateful she and her mother were to not lose a member of our family.

For my mentor project, I chose to shadow Dr. Kristen James, D.O., a young emergency room Physician (approximately 33-34) who works in the E.R. at Tenova North Knoxville Medical Center. The length of all emergency room shifts are twelve hours—7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., or 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.— but for the sake of the well being of my mind and body, I only shadowed for a half of a shift (11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.). I had previously shadowed my father in the same emergency room for a twelve hour shift and I knew that I definitely did not have the stamina to make it through another one with a clear mind or comfortable feet. During this essay, I will be tying in some useful comparisons between shadowing my father vs. shadowing

For my junior year job exploration, I chose to go to the Animal Hospital of Streamwood and shadow a veterinarian. I selected this job shadow because I have been interested in being a veterinarian in the past and I wanted to see what it would be like. This was definitely my favorite job shadow experience I have had thus far as I actually had an interest in what I was shadowing. What I liked about the job shadow was that I was not necessarily able to actively partake in taking care of any patients, but that I was able to get very close to each of the patients and observe more than five appointments from start to finish. What I didn’t like about my job shadow was that it had to be four hours long.

The most profound reason I want to be a veterinary technician is the people. Each animal and pet has an owner—a person that treats them like a son or daughter and I strive to make sure they know their pet is in the best hands and follow up on my promise to do so. I have met people that have this same ideology and it strengthens this profession to put the patient and client’s well-being above anything else. I’ve seen and experienced missed lunch breaks, staying an hour after close, coming in early, even hours without bathroom breaks—and I love

During my time as an intern at the Ridgefield Animal Hospital, I was given the opportunity to gain hands-on experience behind the scenes in an animal clinic. One of the most frequent duties of mine was to follow the doctors into the exam rooms as they examine their patients and speak to the owners about their pet’s health. In the exam room, the doctors typically obtain an updated weight for the patient, take the animal’s temperature, and briefly inspect the patient’s mouth/teeth, ears, and skin. Often, the doctor would also give vaccinations in the
