My Career As A Career

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

Since I was four years old, sitting in my grandmother’s living room I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian. Anytime anyone would ask me “what do you want to be when you grow up?” I would simply answer with that. Not until I was told that I would be getting medically retired from the military, after 8 years, did I realize this was not what I wanted to pursue. I was 26 years old, realizing that animals don’t live forever and I would have to face death in this

For many years I have struggled with a career choice. I have known for quite some time that I wanted to do something with animals but I wasn’t sure what that was. When I began my freshman year in college I was on the line of whether I wanted to be a full on Veterinarian or get a degree as a Veterinary Technician. Now, with the end of my freshman year approaching, I have decided to be a Veterinary Technician. Although some believe that a career as a Veterinarian is better, I believe a career as a Veterinary Technician is good because salaries are decent, it doesn’t require as much schooling, and helping animals is very satisfying to animal lovers like

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.

When I was growing up I wanted to become a veterinarian; simple as that. As time went on I realized something kinda sorta essential. Dogs don’t enjoy the vet, don’t tolerate it, they hate it. Fear may be a more rational word to describe it, but guess what that does not make a catchy title. Over time my aspirations changed and I now find myself striving to be a wildlife rehabilitator. A form of veterinarian to a much wider range of animals than pets and companions, but that does not displace them in my heart. I love all animals, not a dog person, not a cat person, an animal person.

Everyone has to have a job, meaning that I am going to need one too, when I grow up. Which also means that I am going to have make a choice between the hundreds of jobs available. I thought long and hard over this, and have come to the decision of becoming a veterinarian, or to have some kind of job that is associated with animals. I am choosing this type of job because I care and love animals and when I think of any animal being mistreated or hurt I have to do something, help in some way. Though what I didn’t realise was, that it would be even harder to choose what type of veterinarian, among the several that there are to choose from. I have chosen the top three jobs that I am going to take into real consideration. One of

At a young age I was always at conflict with myself over my future career. Multiple topics such as baking and pathology grasped my attention but were immediately forgotten as I came across my love for animals. As I explored the many directions one could go with such a detailed topic I reached the conclusion of becoming a Companion Animal

When I was young I absolutely knew what I wanted to do with my life. I knew for sure I wanted to work with animals, not really knowing what all that would entail. As I grew up I didn’t believe that I had what it took to work with people in dire situations and with medicine, but I wanted to try anyhow to pursue veterinary career. I wanted to work with animals and if I couldn’t be a veterinary then I’d find another job that revolved around them.

I am a veterinarian. Well not yet, but ever since I was a child that’s all I ever dreamed of becoming. I’ve always heard people say, “you will change your career choice at one point of your life”. However, I never have. I am so determined to turn my dream into a reality. The best part about never changing my career choice, is my mom telling me, “ Christina, remember whenever you would call yourself princess of the animal doctors.” I couldn’t put an exact name to what I wanted to be but I knew what it was. The reason why I am so dedicated to becoming a veterinarian, is because I can feel my connection to animals. I’m not talking about being able to have full conversations with animals, that’s crazy. I’m talking about understanding that 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. There was never one single “ah hah” moment when I decided that I wanted to pursue veterinary medicine, but rather several that stemmed from assisting in removing shed skin from a Kingsnake’s eye, taking x-rays on the fracture of a fetlock joint of a racehorse, and even doing physical therapy with a panther. It was in the plethora of internship, volunteer, and work experiences that the goal of becoming a veterinarian resonated within

From childhood through my beginning years of high school, I set myself to become a veterinarian for my future career. I had no other intention of exploring any other option. This mindset developed as growing up I was not able to keep house pets due to unfortunate condominium rules made by my stingy neighbors, and in order to fill the loss of furry companionship, I felt that becoming a veterinarian was the only way I would be able to work with animals. One day in my 10th grade chemistry course I was calculating the amount of moles of an unknown substance when I finally realized that science was not a strong passion of mine, and I would not be able to stand all seven years of it in college. My empire of a plan to be an animal doctor collapsed

Watching him regain mobility with a much-improved quality of life showed me that I had known all along the career I should have been pursuing. Realizing that giving up on my childhood dream would always leave me with a keen awareness of selling myself short, I decided to relentlessly pursue a second career in veterinary medicine. Back in college, I have a strong aptitude in the biological sciences and revel in the thought-provoking material, investing far more than I had in

"The judge has made his decision, the accused has been found guilty." These are the words that one day I will finally hear. My future goal is to be a lawyer. A lawyer is a professional person authorized to practice law. They defend or prosecute people for the crimes they have committed. (dictionary.com) I am very out spoken and believe in fighting for what I want or think is right.

Throughout most of my life I have had one consistent goal; to become a veterinarian. I have had a continuous and solid passion for animals in all respects. This passion and love has fueled my in striving to achieve the dreams I have for myself after high school. The beginning of this story begins long before high school though.
