I Want To Be A Veterinarian

I would like to be a veterinarian because ever since the age of four, I’ve had the desire to protect animals who I feel are weaker than humans because they have no voice. I believe that my passion to save animals stems from having a cat and watching her die at a young age. Not having the opportunity to help her made me think of how other people feel when they lose a pet and if there was any way that animals could be saved. I discovered that veterinarians save animals’ lives through reading a book, which answered my thoughts and gave me the initiative to become one. Therefore, at the age of nine, when my mother asked me what I wanted to do with my life, I told her that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I often find myself answering the question,

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

Like listed in the introduction, vet techs take x-rays of animals, give them anaesthesia, gather the appropriate tools for operation, and much more. Vet techs are the second-in-line of veterinarians, so when the veterinarians aren’t in, they may need to assess what is wrong with the animals, find out where they may be injured, guess-and-check the measurements of something they’ll need for the animals, and figure what tools they’ll need to operate with when the veterinarian walks in. Also, for this job, you must be strong; watching as abused or dying animals are brought in is a daily occurrence, and you must contain your emotions for the animal and your own sake. If the animal sees that you’re breaking down, they may get nervous and accidentally ruin the

A career in being a veterinarian should be obtained by a person who enjoys caring for animals, and sometimes having to care for their owners when they have to make hard decisions. Before becoming, a veterinarian person should know the career proves to need a lot of education, but is well worth the work in the end. It is important to know a veterinarian’s regular duties, required education, and the possible salary before choosing a career in this field.

My long term goal to become a productive global citizen is to be a veterinarian and reach the goal of getting a doctorate in veterinary medicine. I hope to be at UC Davis, because they have a number one ranking, while specializing and are famous in their veterinarian program. I have also been there before, so I am more familiar with the place and it is close to home compared to other colleges or universities. By becoming a veterinarian, I want to advance in the health and care of animals, the health of the environment, and public health. I want to change the world and help all different animals by finding a cure to heartworm, especially in felines. Heartworm is a common disease for dogs that can be treated early on. But for felines, there

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

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 are always put to the test which makes them use their best abilities and is sometimes a challenge(Veterinarians). At the end of the day you have a sense of

for animals inspired me to me to want to become a veterinarian. A veterinarian “is a person who

A veterinary career is not a goal easily met, nor quickly met; but I know few people can say they love what they do, and the hurdles I will have to face are worth getting to be one of those people. Veterinarians come into work everyday, whether that be a clinic, farm, or lab, treating and diagnosing medical conditions in animals. Depending on the type of veterinarian, this can range from household pets to exotic or endangered species. This is something I have imagined working towards since I was able to comprehend what a career was, and I have only gotten more determined. However, there are several aspects I could have not been aware of; through research, I have gained a better understanding of this career and the tedious road to achieving it, as well as the rewards; and there still is not anything I would rather pursue.

I chose this career because ever since I was little, I have always loved animals. I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian.

I think this career would be perfect for me.

"So... what do you want to be when you grow up?" It's a question we've all been asked. Since I could talk I remember people asking me what I want to be. The answer for a long time was something to the effect of "veterinarian", "ballerina", or "writer". Every time someone asked me, the answer was something different. I got older, I changed, I had new viewpoints and different ideas. I could always see myself doing so many different things. I didn't know what I really wanted. I was figuring it out. What is it that I like? What makes me happy? What motivates me? The answers to these questions are not easy. They take time, development, and reflection.

One thing to consider is learning about a specific animal or illness during college and possibly work with an experienced vet in that area during a two year internship (Fact Monster). As briefly state before, the requirements to become a vet are getting your Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) at an accredited college of veterinary medicine, and having a state license (Occupational Outlook Handbook). Even after finishing school and getting their degree, often times vets keep taking classes to stay updated with new diseases and treatments (Fact Monster). The work is never over!

Becoming a veterinarian takes a lot of hard work and many years of schooling, but it is an immensely satisfying job for those that are comfortable with and passionate about working with animals as well as people.
