Personal Statement: What I Want To Be When I Grow Up

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

As a kid, becoming a Veterinarian was my goal. I would always watch how actual Veterinarians helped dogs and cats do surgery with the proper equipment needed to do precise care and help the animal needed. These Veterinarians just would go and give what the animals need and problem solved like magic. I know it’s not magic, it’s experience, so I know that I will have to be an Intern and do a certain amount of training at a Veterinarian hospital first to get that experience.

I would like to be a large animal veterinarian when I grow up. I have picked this career because it has everything I want and desire to do. I would get to work with animals and the people in my community to make life better for all. As animals are a part of the family. I feel that I would be successful as a Vet due to my fondness of animals and my interactions with people. There is nothing better the wet kisses of a puppy and the smell of puppy breath. I currently volunteer at a local veterinarian office and love. I have seen and learned a lot of valuable lessons. While there are a number of different specialties such as small animal, exotic animal I would like to be a large animal vet and specialize in equine medicine.

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 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.

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

I want to be a equine vet when I grow up, you have to get your large animal degree then you can specialize in equine. Three things I have to do to get there is lots of college, I have to have good grades in high school and college, and I have to work really hard.

When I was five, I said to my mom, “ I want to be a veterinarian when I grow up”, a phrase that every parent hears their child say at some point in their life, knowing that it is only a temporary phase. However, my determination to become a veterinarian has only increased with age and added experience in the veterinary medical field. It is assumed that I want to be a veterinary simply because I love animals and that is not false. But being a good veterinary to me means so much more. Being a good veterinarian is knowing how to accommodate and relate to the owners needs as well as the animals, its knowing how to put physical symptoms and diagnostic test results together to effectively treat the patient, and its knowing that that with every success

When I was a child, I was always asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The answers ranged from musician, manager, doctor, and veterinarian. The last few years have helped me narrow down my career path and gave me passion to pursue a career in veterinary medicine—a veterinary technician in particular. This has been a result of the experiences and people I have encountered and a drive to better the profession.

A lot of people ask what you want to be when you grow up. I know that question is the most important decision you will make in your life. My parents say to stay in school and try to get good grades so you can get into a good college because I want to be a vet technician. The quote that I tend to follow is “If your dreams aren’t big enough, your achievements won’t be a big impact on your life.” -Abdul Kreen

I am hoping to be a Veterinarian and to be able to do many different positions in the medical field. I grew up raising many different types of animals, for example, horses, pigs, cows, cats, dogs and etc... In the seventh grade I was able to dissect a frog and it really caught my attention. I was able to have hands on experience with the inner body of a living organism, allowing me to learn many new things about the inner body. From all the experiences I have had with animals I realized that I would love to

I plan to become a Veterinary Surgeon. For my entire life I have had an innate desire to become a veterinarian so that I can improve the lives of animals. I have always wanted to become a veterinarian since I live on a family farm and have always had pets, so I have always had a great appreciation and love of all animals.

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.

Growing up in Miami I have gotten accustomed to the cold and impersonal interactions attributed to living in a big city. Although I enjoy all of the opportunities that are presented by metropolitan areas, it disheartens me to know that most people in urban settings do not know their neighbors. Via avian perspective, you can see the large-scale segregation of classes and ethnic groups. Little Havana, Little Haiti, and Little Puerto Rico are just some examples of the neighborhoods I have called home. As a multiracial child, I found it difficult to fit in when the typical icebreaker question was “Where are you from?” “Me?” I would ask. Knowing there was a narrow range of accepted responses I replied, “I am from here - from Earth... but more importantly, where am I going?” It seems a natural human characteristic to assign greater importance to our past experiences than to our aspirations for the future. In order to achieve what I want with my life I know that I must not dwell on the past but focus on the future.
