Today, I dream of majoring in biology and participating in research for pharmaceutical companies that will allow me to contribute my knowledge

“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves. It is limited because there are only a few specific career paths that someone could take to make good money. It is very difficult to make a fulfilling living being a garbage man. There are many different opportunities because, within these specific careers, there are usually various paths to take. Someone who has dreams to be a

My ultimate goal is to work with exotic zoo animals, specifically working at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. Once I feel that it is the appropriate time, I would love to have the chance to open up my own mixed practice, focusing on lower prices and free clinics for people who have a hard time paying for the medical care of their animals; as well as work with local farmers and members of 4-H and FFA. I would also love to find time in my busy schedule to donate some of my time to local shelters when working at the Animal Kingdom. As well as once I open my own clinic, to work with the shelters so they have the opportunity to get the medical treatment for their animals at a low charge or no charge at all. As if this wasn’t enough to keep me busy I would like to own a small farm with a garden and a few different types of livestock to help educate the public on 4-H, FFA, livestock, and the agriculture community. One of the ways I plan on achieving the goal of educating the public is by having “A Day at The Farm” where the public can come and meet members of 4-H and FFA and learn firsthand about animals and the opportunities these organizations give to their members. I would also love to have the opportunity to travel to Africa and work with some of the animals on the preservations, and with some of the locals and help their livestock. This career

Typically, when someone hears ‘medical field’, automatically you think of people with white lab coats and a stethoscope around their neck ready to take your vitals. Obviously this comes to mind because these doctors and surgeons are the face of the medical field, but in reality there is so much more. There are actually about 300 different occupations one can have in the health care field. A large part of that is nurses. Nurses are the basis of the medical field; they are almost as important as the patients themselves. They have always been a major part of our lives. Nurses have been with us since we first opened our eyes, from birth to broken bones, nurses were there. They have very difficult and extensive careers, they dedicate their lives to their work and to their patients. Some nurses spend long nights away from their family and friends to help others, at times their shifts can last as long as 24 hours. In my opinion nurses are the real super heroes, for this reason I have decided to pursue a major in nursing. I still have a lot to learn and many years of schooling to go, but personally its worth the wait.

Having a positive attitude about being a college student, I imagine that I will become more independent and focus on my future. My goal is to graduate with a bachelor's degree in biology with emphasis in zoology due to my passion for saving animals’ lives. Being independent such as living on my own and

When I graduate from high school I want to become a veterinarian. My love for animals just grew because I lived on a farm most of my life and I worked with dogs,cats, cows, parakeets and many other animals.When they got sick I was always curious why the animal was sick and wanted to know more. That’s why I am interested in pursuing to be a veterinarian since I love animals and enjoy working with them.

The career path I wish to be taking is Marine Biology. As a Marine Biologist i would be studying marine wildlife and plants. I choose this career path because i've always been fascinated with the water. There's so much we don't know about the ocean and it would be amazing to be able to discover a new fish or something about the water we've never know. It is important to understand the education or training requirements, skills or talents needed, salary and benefits offered and the duties for a particular career when making this decision.

My career ambition is to be an equine veterinarian, with an emphasis on sports medicine, at an equine hospital. I plan to achieve this by earning an Animal Science degree, then completing OSU's Veterinary Medicine program to become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Throughout the course of my schooling I will continue to volunteer my time at animal shelters and work in the veterinary field to further prepare myself for my career.

I know that CSU has an amazing natural sciences school and are nationally recognized for animal sciences. With a degree in biology from CSU I hope to study the brain of complex organisms at a macro biological level. Being a biologist or a founder of a non-profit would both be extremely rewarding because I would be helping others. My long term goal for a career in biology would be to leave the world with a greater understanding of the intelligence in organisms with large neural systems. Also, I would use my knowledge of being a woman in science to inspire younger girls to not be so intimated to be involved in a STEM career. I would do this by traveling to elementary schools and mentoring girls interested in STEM programs. As for my impact within non-profit organizations I plan to reach out and help others. I believe that even if someone is successful in a career failing to give back and serve others creates an unsuccessful life. My goals and aspirations all tie into the idea to better others lives around me. I have been through many hard situations in my life that have greatly contributed to my desire to help others. When I was in fifth grade my family lost our home do to a bankruptcy. Being from a wealthy area I was embarrassed of my circumstance, but as I watched my parents recover and come back stronger from that experience my view on my life changed. I became much more aware and compassionate. I couldn't be more thankful for the hurtles in my life that contributed to

I can also make good friends that have the same interest and the same ideas about animals. Another thing is, I get paid a good amount for doing something I have fun with and have a passion for. I get to learn new and wild things that I never even thought of and I can have hands on experience with so many different types of situations. I can also travel around the world for cases they need help on, so that sounds fun and exciting. I know for sure that this career is for me!

I hope to major in zoology, because of a lifelong interest in animals: running outside with a spoon to dig for worms when it rained; raising and mating butterflies (including research about plants they like, hoping they would stay on in my yard); and as a surfer, even looking up sharks and stingrays (nightmares for most). Studying zoology can help extend that love for animals, possibly leading me to field work or veterinarian school, and ultimately to find a satisfying career that I will enjoy.

In the future, I am determined to develop a career in the field of biology. I love animals, and working with them would be the most amazing feeling in the world. I strive to reach that goal at the top of the mountain, and I won't cede for any obstacle that stands in my way.

I think I would want to be an Animal Migratory Geographer. I would want to see how the migration of animals effects the enviroments that they leave and enter. I came accross a video a couple years back that was about how wolves changed the Yellowstone Park river; the wolves caused what is called a trophic cascade. After being gone for almost 70 years, wolves were transplanted back into Yellowstone in 1995. The reason they were put there was to help reduce the number of deer becuase deer had over run the park and reduced vegetation to almost nothing. When the wolves came back they changed the behavior of the deer, by keeping them out of certain areas. This allowed trees and vegetation to thrive again, thus other species of animals began to return.

The third career i chose was a paleontologist. “A paleontologist is a scientist who studies the fossilized remains of all kinds of organisms.”Paleontologist don’t just look for or at fossils but they compare them to live on earth in this present day, and try to find the history behind it all. Paleontologist look for ways to find out how exactly did we descended from fishes and

There are 6.5 million species of land mammals. Wildlife biologists get the privilege of studying and spending time with these animals as their everyday life. I should be a wildlife biologist so I can study land mammals.
