My dream to become a vet was not born from a wish to help and care for animals. It was merely a superficial fascination. But as time passed, this was fueled by the lack of care and compassion for animals all around me. Although different from humans in more ways than one, animals were still living, breathing things – a similarity that should have negated all differences. It pained me to see how they were cared for with less love than humans. This eventually became the reason I wanted to be a vet: to provide them the care, love and attention that they deserved even if hardly anyone else was going to do it. I first worked with animals when I volunteered at the local SPCA where I learnt to provide basic care to animals such as dogs and rabbits. …show more content…
While I was amazed at the skill and precision with which the vets dealt with the animals, what left a deeper impression on me was how they treated them. It did not matter whether it was a dog or cat, ugly or pretty, docile or fierce. All of them were treated with the same amount of love and devotion to their health. Seeing this during my month-long stints in both places strengthened my wish to achieve my dream so that I could one day do the same for these animals. Despite the hard life it brings with its long working hours, it is something I can see myself doing long-term. As I am a science student at heart, it was no wonder that I chose this career path. I love Biology and Chemistry, both of which I did during my IGCSE and now my A-Levels. It intrigues me to see how both sciences can be applied so readily to us and the world around us. Both are so intertwined in how they form the basis of life. Naturally inquisitive in how I always had to know what, why and how, nothing would be greater than to further delve into the world of science and widen my
From a young age I was interested in life; animals, plants, anything that lived. As I grew I began to get more involved with the protection and well-being of animals. I volunteered at animal shelters and spent my time at adoption centers, anyway I could help I gave my assistance. Once I reached a suitable age, I was gifted with two Husky Puppies. I insured they got their vaccinations and checkups, but to ensure their maximum health I studied everything I could about a dog’s internal and external structures, as well as symptoms of common illnesses canines could succumb to. They are the reason my main goal is to become a dedicated veterinarian who will not let a price stop me from helping an animal in need. I plan to major in Biology in order
Although this statement is completely true, the treatment of dogs is not all that vets do. Cats, cows, parrots, and horses are just a few of the many other animals that veterinarians help. As you could probably guess, the profession of being a vet requires many years of education, being that the job requires you to have a good background knowledge of issues that animals may have. In this essay, I’m going to walk you through my educational path to accomplish my goal of becoming a Veterinarian.
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
“ 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. The research will describe the career of veterinary technician, what is required to become a successful veterinary technician, and the impacts this career has on today 's society.
From a very young, becoming a veterinarian has been a dream of mine. The love of animals coupled with the thought of helping those animals through suffering and having the opportunity to actually save one's life has been a motivator for the future. A veterinarian changes an animal’s life in more ways than one. They care for the health of animals. Veterinarians are also able to diagnose, treat, and research medical conditions and diseases of not just pets but also livestock and wildlife ("Summary" U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). It goes beyond the annual vaccinations.
I love animals and I would love to work with them. Ever since I was a little girl I knew I would want to work with animals because they interested me so much. Becoming a veterinarian isn’t just about playing with dogs and cats all day; you are actually in charge of taking care of them and this is a no messing around job. You are responsible for whatever happens to that dog or any other animal. It’s a tough and serious job but I’m up for the challenge because it’s what I want to do for the rest of my
As I grew older, my love for the sciences grew. Since I enjoyed science, I took as many science courses in high school as possible to find the right concentration for me. Through the classes, I discovered that I enjoy biology and chemistry the best because I love learning about the principles of life. It is always exciting to learn about the ways of nature and all the complex processes in organisms that work together in harmony to create that single organism. Furthermore, the complex processes of life all have a chemistry background.
One of my main educational and also career goals in the world of veterinary medicine and animal health care would have to be completing all necessary courses to obtain my Veterinary Assisting certificate and going to work at a vet clinic. Eventually, I may chose to go back to school to complete the rest of the courses needed to become a Veterinary Technician. I have always grown up around animals so I assume that is where my love and passion for helping animals came from. As a young child and still to this day, I have always found comfort, peace, and an increased amount of patience in being around animals. I have also always been intrigued by the idea of therapy/service animals. I see those animals being able to truly make an impact on their
The baying of dogs echoed throughout the building; the caterwauls of cats, the calls of birds, and the occasional soothing words spoken to the unnerved animals followed them. The veterinarian walked into the office and met with his aide. The injured animal had already been given anaesthesia, x-rays of its bones had been taken, and the tools that the veterinarian would need were set for operation. This is the job of a veterinary technician; the career of a vet tech is one that many people pursue from the moment they hear of it, and those like myself are determined to work hard to get to it. Those who already work in the field could tell you a waterfall of reasons why being a vet tech is admirable, but here are three of my own; one reason is because of the enjoyment it can bring, the second is because of what vet techs do, and the third is because of the payment. So, if you want to learn about vet techs, and maybe even become one like myself, keep on reading!
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
In the United States today there are fewer animal-lovers today than there used to be. There are a lot of animals in the world, and there are not enough to take care of them all. Although this career may not be awesome, easy or even ecstatic. I on the other hand however believe its challenging, being a vet can be the sweetest job ever chosen.
Knowing that many different animals react to many different things, it can be very difficult and a huge responsibility to care for one. Helping animals is a good to way to help the environment and others around you because it satisfies everyone with the results when treating an animal, and you’ll be doing something you like. My career goal is to be a Veterinarian. Being a veterinarian is very “challenging, rewarding, and demanding”. You have to be able to be aware of other people’s feelings and needs. You will come upon important decisions whether they benefit you or not. In order to become a veterinarian, you have to graduate from high school, get a Bachelor’s degree and/or go to a 4-year program at a college of Veterinary Medicine in order
I’ve always known my path in life, ever since I was a little girl. My mind constantly revolved around one idea; working with animals. Nobody knew better than I that this was my fate, my purpose. I dreamt of being able to work alongside a variety of creatures, no matter the species; I’m not afraid of much. My biggest opportunity came to me in the late spring of 2017. It was like I was given a gift by the gods themselves; I was chosen to volunteer at the zoo.
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. Veterinarians offer medical care to by diagnosing and treating sick animals, which are often household pets, farm animals, and zoo animals. While looking into becoming a veterinarian, many factors of the job need to be taken into consideration: education and experience requirements, working facilities, job outlook, advancement opportunities, salary and wages, tasks performed, and advantages and disadvantages.
