My Passion For Animals Essay

Throughout the past few years, I have contemplated back and forth constantly of what it is I might want to be when I graduate from high school and college. At first I thought maybe a lawyer, but I soon realized that I am not the type of person to argue against others. Maybe I could be a doctor, but too many people are in that profession or want to be in that profession as it is. After a while of long, hard thinking, I decided that I would apply my love of animals to my future career path, therefor I decided that I wanted to be a Veterinarian. A Veterinarian is a person, much like a doctor, who cares for ill or injured animals. Examples of some of the duties Veterinarians do are dress wounds, perform surgery, diagnose diseases, and even

I used to tell my friends and teachers that I wanted to explore the medical field because that was what my family wanted me to do. They wanted me to become a doctor as it is a well praised profession that pays extremely well. As I grew older and entered middle school, I realized that becoming a doctor wasn’t something I was immensely interested in. Instead of a doctor, I wanted to become a veterinarian, treating animals instead of people. I’ve become aware of my passion for animals ever since I began having pets: from fish to hamsters to dogs. I decided to focus on animals when I first took one of my hamsters to a veterinarian. I thought that their profession was fun and interesting because it revolves around animals, something that I love and grown up with. Although studying veterinary sciences is difficult and competitive, becoming an animal doctor has been one of my greatest

When pondering the question of who I want to become, I looked back on my childhood and remembered the many pets I had, 3 hamsters Ms. Shaq, Mr. Penny, and blister, four rabbits Cotton ball, Fluff ball, Whisky, and black boy. Later in my life, I got 3 dogs Mangum, Coogi, sandy. Taking a look down memory lane, I can remember having a love for animals from elementary until now, I have nursed and taken care of animals for so long On the day I graduated high-school I was assured I wanted to become a veterinary technician. I wanted to become a veterinary technician because the passion and love I have for animals through having my own pets I experienced giving my dogs medications, giving my rabbits antibiotic shots, clipping nails, and cleaning ears.

I do not have any experience in health care or veterinary medicine. A hobby that I feel like helped me gain skills that could easily transfer over to helping animals would have to be helping out at my local elementary school with the young children. Children and animals are alike in that they make noise when they want something, love attention, and enjoy being praised when they have done something good. They are different in the fact that children can verbalize with words what they want while animals can only make sounds to try and show you what they want. I have personally first hand seen how much joy and happiness animals can bring to society as the local elementary school has had dogs come in and listen to the students read to them causing the students to not feel any pressure or worry. I heard about Black Hawk College’s Veterinary Sciences program through Black Hawk’s website and word of mouth. Just knowing the basics about taking care of animals and children can really help me succeed. By completing this course, I hope to gain a deeper insight into Veterinary Medicine and helping animals thrive as best as I

Any loving pet owner will tell you that a pet is like a member of the family. Of course, you want your furry friend to be happy and healthy. Julia Atwood A DVM in Kitsap County, WA, has the expert insight on how to choose the right veterinarian for your animal’s needs. This veterinary expert has been serving the local community for over 20 years.

To be a good veterinarian, I believe you need to be balanced. Not too much and not too little, a perfect middle ground that allows a wide variety of clients be able to ?relate/trust? you. A great veterinarian is confident in their ability, yet still humble and respectful. Bold in their innovative ideas, but reasonable. A good vet is very smart and gets good grades, but they still need to be as skilled with people as they are books. I feel a great vet needs to know they right things to say and how to put an owner at ease, but they also needs to be a good listener. No one likes to be interrupted and if something is wrong with their pet, they are going to want their feelings heard. When it comes to my animals, I want a vet that listens to what

I have always had a passion for animals and a dream of mine has always been to help all the poor animals who are not living in the best conditions or who do not have a loving home to go to. I see on social media that people have things like puppy cafes or a place where you can have breakfast with bunnies but I have never seen a place where you can be outdoors in the animal’s environment not in our environment. I would love to buy a large piece of land where I can put up a fence and build little homes and have a bunch of toys and even a pool for the animals to play in. in order to be able to bring in and maintain such a lifestyle for these animals, I would make it into a “hang out spot” where people could come and play with all the animals. I would charge for the hour during

Why is it that we as a society condemn the actions of a man against a man but very rarely a man against an animal? I think this question must be understood if we are ever to change the rights animals have. As of yet I don't believe animals have any actual rights. Rather humans have rights that involve animals. If we are to truly allow animals to have rights the same or similar to humans then we must first define what it is that makes us feel as if they are entitled to rights.

The first time I saw what a large animal veterinary does for a job, I was six years old. Horrified, I watched the veterinary check to see if a cow was pregnant. That day I vowed to never be a veterinary or put my hands anywhere near the rear end of a cow. Something changed along the years and I found a new love and appreciation for vets and all things animal science, hence my major. I plan on breaking both of the vows that I made when I was six. I grew up on a retired dairy farm that has been in the family for over a century. My mother's love for animals, rescue animals in particular, matches my own so I was one of those lucky kids that had a pony, numerous barn cats, and two dogs. While I was learning how to care for, handle, and even clean

Passion is what builds people’s hopes and dreams, and helps them push their way through life. My passion is my horses and live for animals. Since I was a little girl, animals have played a considerably large part in my life. Not only because I have grown up on a farm, but also because I focused my work, hobbies, and future around them. Five-year-old me would never hesitate when people asked me what I wanted to do as an adult, I would immediately respond with, “I want to be a vet.” Now that I am an adult, this field of work still awes me. Ideally, I would go to college and get my undergraduate degree, and then continue into Veterinary Medicine. After college, I would either go directly into a clinic that has already been developed, or I would

When I was seven years old I got my first animal. A beautiful tiger kitten that I named Kaylee. Kaylee was perfect in every way, and I loved her to bits. Looking back on this memory, I can see that this is the moment my love for animals sprouted, making me a new person. Today I look around, and still marvel in the beauty of all creatures. Creatures that are fluffy, scaly, feathery and everything else! My obsession for pets drove my parents crazy. I have owned a large assortment of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and even a fox. My passion grew larger, and larger. This passion for animals is the reason why the beautiful planet earth, and the preservation of its beauty, has become my career goal. The planet means a lot to me, and now I have a chance to be a part of the change that saves it from global warming.

When Deja was around the age of ten, she would buy a lot of stuffed animals and act as if she was doing procedures on them for fun. She would often beg my mom, asking if she could go to the zoo, so she could see the animals and ask the caregiver’s questions about the animals and what they did to help them. Lauren Hughes once said “I am a veterinarian. I work long hours, my hair is often pulled back, I have student loans that you wouldn 't believe. I can 't take every sad case home, but at the end of the day, I love my clients, I love my patients, I love my job, because I 'm a veterinarian and I get to save lives.” The main reason I want to be a veterinarian is because I truly know I care for animals and have the patience to be able to deal with them and their owners in order to help cure them from whatever they have. Working long hours wouldn 't be a problem to me as well since I would be able to at least enjoy the majority of my time caring for the animals inside of the hospital. I feel this career has an impact on the owners and the pets. A majority of people who own pets, see them as a companion or a part of their family than just a pet, so to me, it is very important that I can assist them with their pets in order to keep the relationships between animals and their owners connected. The Duties for working in this field would be that you have to be able to provide medical care to for animals, mostly pets, but on other occasions, it can be a zoo animal, livestock or

Animal’s People is a wonderful book written by Indra Sinha about the struggles of the city of Khaufpur 20 years after a chemical leak from a local factory. The toxins have made the population sick and are continuing to affect every day life, especially in regards to the population’s health. Animal, a boy with a damaged spine, gets involved with local activists trying to hold the company responsible for the leak. Zafar, the leader of the activists, is a man that everyone trusts. When an American doctor, Elli, arrives to open a clinic for the benefit of the people, Zafar tells the city not to trust her. Though they are written onto opposite sides and they come from different worlds, Zafar and Elli have more in common than one would think. Both

Animals are used for companionship and entertainment. They are also used as tools for medical research. There is an ongoing debate about whether animals have rights and moral status. Wilson (2010) asks, “What place should non-human animals have in an acceptable moral system?” (para. 1) There is also debate in the medical community about the effectiveness of using animal models in place of humans. According to C. Ray Greek & Jean Swingle Greek (2000), “… animals are not isomorphic with humans.” Isomorphic is the scientific name for the “one-to-one correspondence between all elements in two or more living systems.” (page 89)

Beginning in the 4th grade, I was fortunate enough to become involved in exhibiting livestock. This early exposure to livestock played an integral role in my desire to become a veterinarian. Daily care for the animals include
