My Life As 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,

Being a veterinarian has many of hoops that I must jump through, such as; having important features that will help you throughout the career, different job duties depending on what field of being a veterinary you choose, the education I will need, challenges with clients, the pets themselves and an abundance of other things. There are also a great deal of benefits of the this job, which makes it all worth it. Becoming a veterinarian is the best job for me, because I love to be around animals and I love helping them in life.

As a child, everyone dreams of what that they want to become in world. Some want to grow up to be doctors, garage drivers, teachers and dancers. My dream has not always been clear to me; I wanted to be a neonatal nurse while I was in high school. I took courses throughout high school, and discovered that nursing was not God’s plan was for me. I did not find out that animal care was what I was truly passionate about until the days after my dog got ran over. Wrapping her bandages, cleaning her wounds and giving her medicine brought to me such joy that I have never felt before. Becoming a veterinarian was not what I planned, but it is was what I become passionate about.

When I was a little girl, I had my heart set on being a veterinarian. During middle school I tried to volunteer at the animal hospital. I wanted to learn everything I could about animals and help the veterinarians there, with their job. By the time I entered eighth grade, I knew that I wanted to get more involved. Once it came time to choose classes

When I was about the age of seven I had no idea what I wanted to do when I got older. Once I thought of being a cook, or even a meteorologist. One day I really thought about it, and I realized I want to do something that involved animals. I had such a big interest in animal and helping them. I wanted to do something where I got to work with animals everyday.

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.

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

They are practically my life and I don’t like to see that they are suffering or soon going to die. I have so much fun with my animals at home; I even give my cats check-ups because I have my own stethoscope. The most exciting part about being able to help animals is that you get a good feeling that you have done some good in your life and that is a really good feeling. Even if you have an allergy to cats or dogs, you can still love them without hugging them. Being a vet is a major part of my life goals. My advice to you is to run hard towards your goal to achieve it, don’t let any obstacle get in your

The first day of my sophomore year put a halt in my previous plans to go to school to become a veterinarian. Every two years in my small high school, our Spanish teacher puts together a trip through EF Tours to one of the many countries in our world. That year she had decided that Belize was the destination. Although I didn’t have a clue where the country was, I added my name to the list and six short months later I had arrived in the Central American country. It wasn’t anything like I had expected. Apart from the humidity there was immense poverty evident in each town we went, which was also shown in the school’s that we visited. In that moment, a switch flipped in my head and I knew I wanted to do something to change that. By giving me this

A quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby once said, “I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.” The career of a Veterinarian is a sensational and phenomenal feeling, you’ll be introduced to new people, animals, types of medicines and treatments.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always known that I wanted my life’s purpose to be caring for animals. It is important for me to reach my goal of becoming a wildlife veterinarian because my dream is to become the voice that animals lack. I want to be able to help endangered species make a comeback and help others back to health. Later on in life I hope to open my own animal

Pets have always been a big part of my family for a while; specifically full breed pit bulls. Having these pets inspired me to take on the career of a Veterinarian. I have known what I wanted my career to be since the fourth grade. Then while exploring different occupations, I begin to make presumptions about what I want to be in life. However, that quickly changed once I experienced one of the most impressionable moments of my life. In late 2012, early 2013, my parents announced to my siblings and I that they were getting a divorce. That by itself was a life changing event, and during that time we had two pit bulls named Animal and Hawk. Since my parents settled on a divorce, we had to sell the house and they split up. Neither my dad nor my

Being a Veterinarian has its share of challenges and obstacles. Many time’s they have to come to a decision to euthanize an animal, in which of many cases the doctor develops a personal relationship with not only the pet owners, but the animal as well. It is very difficult to go through with a procedure like that but it is an obstacle Veterinarians must overcome. Another obstacle that vets are faced with is Animal cruelty. Animal cruelty can occur in more forms than just physical violence. It also includes negligence, hording, and abandonment just to name a few. Domesticated animals rely on their owners not only to provide food, water, and shelter, but a nurturing environment as well. One other obstacle is not being able to treat an animal. Sometimes pet illnesses and injuries can be very demanding both emotionally and financially. Veterinarians can be put in a situation where they can treat the animal and cure it, but there are no funds to treat the patient. Clients enter a veterinary clinic with the expectation that regardless of what they are able to pay, their pet will still receive the care it needs when in reality the veterinarian cannot go through with caring for the animal because the client cannot pay for the treatment. Being in this field is physically demanding as well, after a long eight-hour shift, the demand of lifting pets onto exam tables, holding them in place, walking animals around the

As a veterinarian, I would like to work in a small or mixed animal general practice. Most of my veterinary experience has been shadowing at small, doctor owned, general practice clinics, and in this environment, no two days are the same. This offers a nice sense of variety, and allows the doctor to create a relationship with the patients. I worked as a pharmacy technician for several years, and during that time enjoyed becoming acquainted with the regular customers, getting to know their history, and providing more personalized care. As a veterinarian, I would like to work in a setting where I could apply that same personalized care to my patients. In a small, general practice setting I could create a stronger doctor-patient-owner relationship,
