Personal Narrative: Dogs Hate 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

The career that I want to achieve is a Veterinarian. I want to become a Veterinarian after I graduate college. Want to become that, because I would like to help out animals that are sick and be able to make their owners happy. I would have to go to high school and go to classes to learn about health science. Then, go to college and learn more about science so I will be able to know what is need to become a veterinarian. I will get my degree in college and graduate.

When I was younger I would always imagine myself as this super veterinarian, flying all over the world to help animals, and by pursuing a degree in biological sciences I would be one step closer to this dream. The first thing I can ever remember wanting to be was a veterinarian. One time, when we took my dog to the veterinarian, he let me go back and see behind the scenes actions. I shadowed the veterinarian and watched him spay and neuter cats and dogs.

Becoming a veterinarian is my green light. Since I was a kid, I have this dream of being a veterinarian. This is my green light because I want to be able to help animals, therefore, I cannot think of working with some other thing. I would not say that my life goals have changed over time because I have a love for animals and I want to be able to rescue as many animals as I can in the future.

I wanting to become a vet is standard because that is one of the main jobs you learn about when coming into school. As a child I had different hobbies most were just collecting random different thing. My favorite thing to collect were rocks all different colors, shapes, and sizes. I had a whole mini collection of theme in containers and bags. My favorite thing to do was trying different experiments with them and collecting data. There wasn’t one place that I would go where I would pick up at least one rock or pebble. As I grew older I went back to animals, more towards the sea life. I had watched tons of movies and documentaries about all creators big and small from sea to land I loved everything about it. The sea had called my name for a long time but my love for animals was just too big to only focus and help on one set of animals. So then I switched it to just a regular Zoologist. I got the idea of a side career of a wildlife rehabilitator when writing a paper on how we could relate what we want to do and become with engineering.

My dream is to become an exotic pet veterinarian. As an exotic pet veterinarian, I would work with pets that are not as common as your normal day pets such as a cat or a dog, instead I could work with rabbits or domesticated pigs for an example. The reasons why I want to work with these animals is because you never know what animals may walk in and it is not boring then being a dog vet. There is also a more variety of animals to work with.

As long as I can remember, I wanted to do something with animals when I got older. I would dream about helping when they are in need. I have always wanted to be a veterinarian since day one. With growing up, I learned that veterinary students go through a lot to become a veterinary. Writing is very important and it's needed in anybody wants to go into. To be an animal sciences major, a lot of research papers have to be written and as well as persuasive papers.

I have been interested in the field of medicine, since I was a child. Specifically, in the care of animals. I can't recall wanting to do anything except veterinary medicine even in my earliest memories. I have always been passionate about animals, which has carried with me, throughout my life. I graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelors in Zoology. I have worked as a veterinary technician throughout college, and since I graduated. It was my initial intention, to eventually pursue further education in animal behavior, but life took a different turn.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” The infamous question we were all asked as children was the question I always had the same answer for: I wanted to be outdoors studying wildlife. I was raised in a family of outdoorsmen and, at a young age, fell in love with venturing deep into the backcountry of Arizona. I took notes on the things I found, sketched the animals I came across, and absorbed as much information as I could about wildlife and the environment. Upon entering high school, I selected classes that fed my passion and provided me with necessary knowledge, as I desired to go to college one day. However, during my freshman year, my mother went through an awful divorce, leaving her, my sister, and I with practically nothing. My mom

When I got my first dog, Genghis, I was in elementary school. My sisters and I had been bugging our parents to get a dog for years. After a while they finally gave in. I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in and told me and my sister the news. “I just got off the phone with a lady who is selling Rottweiler puppies. Do you want to come with me to pick up our new dog?” He asked. Before my sister could even answer I shouted yes. My sister and I hugged each other and jumped up and down excitedly. “Hurry up and get dressed and then we will go.” My dad said. We did what he told us and then got into the car.

Skipping ahead to age seven, I got my first book filled with dog breeds. One, Affenpinscher. Two, Afghan Hound. Three, Airedale Terrier. So on and so forth. I went on memorizing the book and testing my memory every time my mom would walk me to City Park. So

I want to be a zoologist because my love for animals is unconditional. I didn't realize until maybe a few months ago I want to grow up become a zoologist or a marine biologist. It may be a dangerous job to do because any animal could turn on you ataxy minute but I am willing to take that risk. I really like to learn about older animals from millions of years ago. I don't only want to take care of animals, I want to be in the everyday life’s and travel the world for

When I was twenty-two years old, I answered an advertisement in the paper for free Labrador puppies. Driving up to the house, I saw all the little critters running around and having a ball of a time. I got into the pen with the pups, and finally decided on the shy runt who spent the majority of his time hiding under a board. I loved his personality and instantly

My family started thinking about buying a dog when we bought our own house in a small town near Joliet, Illinois. Despite our family having grown to a total of 6 people, we still thought it was a bit lonely. Our eyes were set on a Shih-Tzu mix at our local animal shelter I volunteered at. She had a mild temper and was the perfect size to cuddle with. In preparation for our new pet, my father went out and bought dog food, a crate, and half a dozen toys. The only thing we needed at this point was the dog, but when we went to go pick her up she had already been given away to another family.
