Going Into Veterinary Medicine

“ My first instinct when I see an animal is to say “Hello.” My first instinct when I see a person is to avoid eye contact and hope they will just go away.” I have always wanted to help animals since I was five. I felt that animals can’t help themselves and I could help. The career of a veterinary technician is a gross and rewarding, because of all the different experiences that one will receive on an everyday basis.

A veterinarian, a professional that treats animal health problems, is a career I yearn to pursue, due to the opportunity to keep any animal surviving, the ability to receive a high salary, and the chance to work with animals all the time. I have been interested in the veterinary field since I was seven years old. When I was seven, I had a german shepherd who was very sick. I went to the vet with her and I sat through the whole appointment. It was extremely hard for me when they told me that she had to be put down. It is very hard to see animals suffer in pain for a long time. Even though putting animals down is tough, sometimes euthanasia may be the easiest and best way to put animals out of misery. Since then, I have had a major interest

Imagine that you walk into the O.R. of your own veterinary clinic, and you see a horse that you will be operating on. The horse is under anesthesia, because she was trying to give birth, then two hours in the owners of the horse decided it would be best to get the horse to an equine veterinarian as quick as possible, because this horse isn’t able to push the colt out on its own. So, you walk in and you start seeing what you can do for the six-year-old mare, however you can’t do anything for the mare, owner, or the colt, except just to deliver the colt as a stillbirth. This scenario is one out of many challenges veterinarians face on a day to day basis. To become a veterinarian, you need to understand the responsibilities that come along with being one, the job securities as a veterinarian, and the different opportunities that come with being a male or a female veterinarian.

When working as a veterinary technician, there are several important communication skills to have within the workplace and dealing with pet owners. Empathy and good listening skills are two of the most important traits the staff can possess. Along with these, staff should pay attention to how a client would perceive them.

The first step for me after being accepted is applying for financial aid. This is a very crucial part of my plan to achieve my dream. I feel like I am a good candidate for the Howard B. Smith, Jr. Memorial Scholarship. I am unique, determined, and I overcome obstacles.

He was a veterinarian and is now a hairstylist. He didn’t like being a veterinarian so he went with his second choice; a hair stylist. I mean he did love being with the animals and meeting new friends, but he really wanted to be a hairstylist. He worked at a veterinary hospital, he helped, diagnosed, and did surgery on animals.

“You get a light in your eyes when you talk about this stuff.” When I am around animals or speak about animals, I am comforted and the stresses of life vanish. I feel alive when someone acknowledges the fire I have intensely burning inside of me for veterinary medicine.
