As a kid you always grow up being asked, what do you want to be when you grow up. My answer has always been the same, but my father has always wanted me to take over his job as a Master Electrician. In my heart I have always wanted to be a veterinarian and knowing that I would disappoint my dad was something I have always struggled with. My mother on the other hand, has always supported my dreams. One thing I do know is that they both encouraged me to love school and to pursue a career. Both my parents have different styles of parenting. My mother was usually more positive and my father was usually authoritative. Berk and Winlser (1995) stated that, “More positive parenting styles, coupled with higher parental monitoring tends to lead to …show more content…
My pets have always and forever will be a part of my life style. In fact, Magnus (2004) states that, “Millions of people in the United States consider their pet dog of cat to be a member of their family, and with the development of that relationship has come a commitment to provide health care that is beyond the reach of most humans.” (p. 1). I have learned that all animals have emotions and personalities, and that they are a part of this world just like we are. Some animals can even notice when something is wrong with a human, like when you are sad. Being a veterinarian would further my love and passion for animals. I would be able to help them in a way that not everyone can. As of now I have eight cats, two dogs, and two hamsters. The amount of attention and care that they need can be overwhelming for some, but for me it brings me a huge amount of happiness and a sense of fulfillment. Each one of my pets have a way of expressing themselves, from my tiny hamsters to my huge dog. Every day they show me love and compassion in the purest form. I care for them in a way that I care for a human being sometimes even more. At times I get worried and scared, why you might ask? I find myself thinking what if! What if they get sick, or choke? What if I can’t save them? The best way to be prepared is to have a career that would further inform me of all these little creatures. Then I could be prepared in case of any emergency, and would be more at ease.
Becoming 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,
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
From infancy to adult, people are making decisions all day long. How long to study for the upcoming test? What sport to play? What college to attend? As choices are made, often goals are set to ensure maximum potential is achieved. This process of decision-making and goal setting is overbearing shadowed by the authoritarian style of parenting.
The practicality and variability associated with this profession will be intellectually challenging. However, I enjoy and am driven by challenging problems. Growing up, I noticed how our pets truly enhance our lives. They are an antidote for our loneliness, enrich our joys, and teach us about loyalty and love. Eventually, I became attracted towards medicine and animals. It wasn’t just because I’m interested in the health and welfare of animals, it was also able because I communicate well with people.
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
Explain the specific impact parenting styles have on two issues related to child development. Examples include: obesity, resiliency, social-deviance, self-esteem, school performance, cognitive flexibility, and emotional intelligence.
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.
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 career that I will be discussing and reviewing is a veterinarian. Veterinarians examine, diagnose and treat animals, prescribe and administer animal medications, take cell and tissue samples and perform diagnostic tests,and perform surgery on animals (Veterinarian Job Duties). In other terms, veterinarians are like doctors but for animals. “The scope of veterinarian medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species” (Veterinarian medicine). The top goal for veterinarians is to keep animals healthy and safe, and to prevent diseases from happening. That’s why your cat, dog or any animal that you own gets many shots. I choose this career because I
A veterinary career is not a goal easily met, nor quickly met; but I know few people can say they love what they do, and the hurdles I will have to face are worth getting to be one of those people. Veterinarians come into work everyday, whether that be a clinic, farm, or lab, treating and diagnosing medical conditions in animals. Depending on the type of veterinarian, this can range from household pets to exotic or endangered species. This is something I have imagined working towards since I was able to comprehend what a career was, and I have only gotten more determined. However, there are several aspects I could have not been aware of; through research, I have gained a better understanding of this career and the tedious road to achieving it, as well as the rewards; and there still is not anything I would rather pursue.
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
A veterinarian is a specialist in the form of medical studies: specifically focusing on the betterment of animals and tending to those who are in desperate need of assistance. I find this career significant to me because I admire our environment and the living creatures that occupy it. Becoming a veterinarian in the future would only manifest my respect and hospitality I have for these organisms. Becoming a veterinarian is essential to me because not only would I be viable to tend and nurture animals who had been maltreated, but I would find myself engrossed in this career because of the fields that correlate directly with this career. As a result of my interests in both the medical and biological scientific fields - along with being able to
I have a big heart for animals and I would really like to work with them. The one thing that i want to become is a vet. The problem is I have a weak spot for watching and having to put an animal down. But as I grew up I have always told myself you are doing it for a reason. They are either in pain that won't go away or they will be in a better place where they don't have to suffer anymore from any type of hurt. Also being a vet has a good side to it also, because you can save animals that have an illness that can be cured with a shot and some medicine. Also there are many opportunities that come with being a vet. There are veterinary pharmaceutical sales companies, feed companies, wildlife agencies, laboratories, and academic institutions. Also vets never stop learning new things there are a lot of new tech that is coming out that can help vets and there are new ways to make sure your furry client is treated to the
As excited as one can be to join an organization for a good cause, even so, we still have expectations. I expect to work alongside loveable creatures, including diverse races of dogs and cats. Work with healthy and sick animals; whether the illness is mentally or physically. I am still very indecisive about which career path to take. Therefore, working hand-to-hand with these gorgeous animals will help me consider if being a veterinarian is the path I shall take.
The family system and parents are generally regarded as one of the most powerful forces in shaping adolescents. Parents have a great influence in the development of adolescents. The relationship of the parents largely effect the development of adolescents and is an important factor when looking at development. Well-adjusted adolescents tend to have intact families that are supportive and create a warm and loving environment with constant monitoring of behavior. The review examines the current research on adolescent development and how it is effected by parenting styles. Taking into account the changes that occur over time to parents this review shows the fluidity of parenting styles and the stressors that cause those changes.
