A Veterinarian Family: A Short Story

As a child, everyone dreams of what that they want to become in world. Some want to grow up to be doctors, garage drivers, teachers and dancers. My dream has not always been clear to me; I wanted to be a neonatal nurse while I was in high school. I took courses throughout high school, and discovered that nursing was not God’s plan was for me. I did not find out that animal care was what I was truly passionate about until the days after my dog got ran over. Wrapping her bandages, cleaning her wounds and giving her medicine brought to me such joy that I have never felt before. Becoming a veterinarian was not what I planned, but it is was what I become passionate about.

Ever since the fourth grade, my mind was set on becoming a veterinarian. In middle school, I created a business plan to have my clinical practice connected to a pet shop. During high school, I began volunteering at Arch Creek Animal Clinic to gain hands-on experience. As a first-generation Latina, I have pushed myself to achieve the life that my parents were unable to attain. My father came with a goal in mind. That his future children wouldn’t have to go through the life that he had, waking up at five in the morning and carrying slabs of meat around, because he was the son of a butcher. My mother came to New York in my grandmother’s womb, and she hopes her children get an education and enter a career that will not only support us financially,

To ensure that our project would be very successful as a group we discussed how could we make a big impact. This discussion leaded us to deciding to dedicate our service-learning project to helping Veterans and how we could help them. We establish a connection with VET HOUSE, this connection was established though Johnnie Mapples who is a veteran and was associated with VET HOUSE. We connected Mr. Willard Smith who is the coordinator for VET HOUSE, he informed us what was needed and the current numbers of people that are currently in the program. From establishing the connection and gathering information on how many people needed help we discussed what we would like to do for them and how can we accomplish it. We decided to collect personal

Like any other young girl, I have always had a lifelong dream of becoming a vet. I took action on this dream by working through my summers at Carpenter Vet Clinic. Helping all patients that come through the clinic whether in good or poor conditions can truly put a vet; into a joyous state of mind. People don’t realize how strong of a connection a person can make with a patient in such a short time frame. The way vets save lives and impacts their client’s lives each day of work can really make a warm feeling in the heart. Being able to take care of these animals as one of my own is a passion, I have lots of animals at home where I am active in 4-H, and have learned how to be responsible. Seeing animals in pain and endangered just breaks my heart inside. I hate seeing the commercials about the dog pounds that are in need of money. Seeing all of these qualities has really made me

Of course growing up with multiple pets - cats, dogs, birds, a snake, and an iguana - my passion for the care of animals was bound to happen. As a little girl, I was the one who would yell at people for being inconsiderate of bugs; though as I grew older, my interests in the behavior, nurture, and medical aspects of a Veterinarian spiked way up. What really intrigued my interest at first was reading all over the news the incidents about animal cruelty and neglect. While reading about the incidents, my thoughts were along the same lines as the majority of everyone else’s - “Wow this is just sad, how could someone do this?! We need to stop this!”. But also unlike a good amount of those people, I want to physically help these animals in cruelty and neglect situations and not just sit behind my words. I want to gain knowledge on how to help and bring these animals back to health which goes into my goals with this career.

Veterinarians provide medical services for animals that are big and small. Helping sick animals weather they are big or small. They provide medicine for house pets and farm animals. When owners take there pet to the vet they are looking for someone to provide information to them about their animal. Some of the information given to the own is about how to properly care for your animal to make sure it grows the right why. Veterinarians are there to help animals no matter the size.

From my opportunities while working and volunteering with veterinarians, I’m positive that my decision to pursue a career in the field of veterinary medicine is right for me. I enjoy the challenge and excitement that comes with the cases I possibly might encounter. This field is challenging, but I’m confident that I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to prosper. Through pursuing my professional goals, working and volunteering for veterinarians and animal facilities and my college experiences with animals has solidified my career choice and becoming a veterinarian is the only thing I want to do. Through my experiences, I have learned a veterinarian is not only a caretaker for the well-being of animals; he or she is also a role model, an instructor, and an active member of the community.

Pets have always been a big part of my family for a while; specifically full breed pit bulls. Having these pets inspired me to take on the career of a Veterinarian. I have known what I wanted my career to be since the fourth grade. Then while exploring different occupations, I begin to make presumptions about what I want to be in life. However, that quickly changed once I experienced one of the most impressionable moments of my life. In late 2012, early 2013, my parents announced to my siblings and I that they were getting a divorce. That by itself was a life changing event, and during that time we had two pit bulls named Animal and Hawk. Since my parents settled on a divorce, we had to sell the house and they split up. Neither my dad nor my

The Real Deal About Being a Veterinarian Some people dream of becoming a doctor, teacher, or in my case a veterinarian. But people seldom do research on what they really want to do in life as a career. People often talk about a career that they want to do for the rest of their lives instead of taking action and finding the truth about the career by researching, job shadowing or becoming an intern. Many people often wait until they get to college and start interning or job shadowing and find that their dream job is not what seems to be like in reality. The question that everyone needs to ask themselves is that, “if I was in my career right now what would I really be doing?”

My parents have always told me to follow my dreams, for it will make me happy and lead me to success. The phrase my parents always told me seems to have a loop hole. Being a veterinarian or a veterinary technician is not all fun and games; it can really put a hole in a student's pocket. It does cause happiness and success when getting to save and improve the health of animals, but it does not improve a student’s college debt. Today, many veterinary students have said that it is not worth going to veterinary school, and many animal science majors have a hard decision in determining if vet school is the right choice for them due to the financial burden it comes with.

As a veterinarian, I would like to work in a small or mixed animal general practice. Most of my veterinary experience has been shadowing at small, doctor owned, general practice clinics, and in this environment, no two days are the same. This offers a nice sense of variety, and allows the doctor to create a relationship with the patients. I worked as a pharmacy technician for several years, and during that time enjoyed becoming acquainted with the regular customers, getting to know their history, and providing more personalized care. As a veterinarian, I would like to work in a setting where I could apply that same personalized care to my patients. In a small, general practice setting I could create a stronger doctor-patient-owner relationship,
