Zoology Personal Statement

As an undergraduate at Iowa State University and growing up with a father who is a veterinarian, I have become increasingly aware of the complex convolution of problems that veterinarians face on a daily basis. It is my desire to participate in the resolution of these problems. This led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Animal Science, in hopes of entrance into Veterinary School. I intend to finish Veterinary School and continue specialization in food animal production. However, I know that the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree is unique, and opens many potential career possibilities. There are many paths that a degree in veterinary medicine could lead me, and I very much want to explore those possibilities through further education.

When I first entered college, I had thought that I wanted to major in Biomedical Sciences. The reason being, I was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 Diabetes. I was tossing around the thought that I was interested, possibly, in having a career that involved my disease in it. From being a part of this compass program, I have learned about many careers. Even though I learned more of what I do not want to do, it has helped me narrow down to majors that I am more interested in. I was thinking of still having the possibility of entering the medical field, but I am unsure. Learning about the different careers in the medical field and visiting labs has shown me that it isn't something that I am interested as much as when I first enter college. While I do want to be involved with my disease, I’m not sure if I want to have a career with it, but it could still be a possibility.

The student completed the internship requirement at the Brevard Zoo. Additionally, the student holds a volunteer position at the National Elephant Center prior to the internship. The internship director approved the student to use the additional volunteer hours at the elephant center for course credit. At Brevard Zoo, the intern was already a paid employee at the facility prior to the internship course. The internship was modified to give the student an experience that highlighted the many aspects of working with animals outside of her original position. The activities included activities working with both animals, guests, and staff. The focus on animal training, behavior, and learning was achieved by the intern

My interest for science blossomed as a child, my mom is a lab technician and going to her job and seeing them learn all these astonishing things about a person from a simple tube of blood blew me away. In middle school I went to a STEM school, The Academy for Science and Design in order to allow that passion to grow, and from there I have participated in multiple science related research projects that I have been able to bring with me to national level competitions. In addition, in high school I am taking AP level science classes, such as AP Biology, in order to expand my knowledge. Soon I plan on starting to volunteer at the community hospital for an opportunity to gain real world experience in the scientific field. The thing I take most pride

One of the most interesting jobs of today is a Zoologist. Not only is this job very easy to acquirer it can also benefit someone. The main factors to look up in zoology are the job requirements like physical and mental requirements, the education you acquire, job advancement, the salary, the responsibilities it comes with, and the travel opportunities. This job can help a person by giving them knowledge and adventure in their life. It can provide him or her with essentials they will need in an average person’s life.

My ultimate goal is to work with exotic zoo animals, specifically working at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. Once I feel that it is the appropriate time, I would love to have the chance to open up my own mixed practice, focusing on lower prices and free clinics for people who have a hard time paying for the medical care of their animals; as well as work with local farmers and members of 4-H and FFA. I would also love to find time in my busy schedule to donate some of my time to local shelters when working at the Animal Kingdom. As well as once I open my own clinic, to work with the shelters so they have the opportunity to get the medical treatment for their animals at a low charge or no charge at all. As if this wasn’t enough to keep me busy I would like to own a small farm with a garden and a few different types of livestock to help educate the public on 4-H, FFA, livestock, and the agriculture community. One of the ways I plan on achieving the goal of educating the public is by having “A Day at The Farm” where the public can come and meet members of 4-H and FFA and learn firsthand about animals and the opportunities these organizations give to their members. I would also love to have the opportunity to travel to Africa and work with some of the animals on the preservations, and with some of the locals and help their livestock. This career

As far back as I can remember, my days were spent filled with activities my mom planned to keep my siblings and I busy. From frequent zoo trips to weekly ballet lessons, every activity planned in our schedules had some sort of ulterior motive to shaping our future into the people our parents wanted us to become. While my brothers became interested in chemistry sets and robots, I was enrolled into dance classes, surrounded by animals, and spent days at work with my mother in the hospital in hopes of coaxing me out of my terribly shy shell and subconsciously breeding a veterinarian, or even better, a doctor. The older I became, the more my daily activities steered me in the direction of the medical field, I quickly learned to read the x-rays

I would like to be in Honors Science because I am ready to take on the challenge, my passion for science and the natural world has grown and I am a self motivated learner that is always willing to learn new material. Honors Science would give me the opportunity to do each and every one of those things as well as challenging me with more complex things. My passion for science has grown and as well as my curiosity for the natural world. Science is made up of so many different attributes and topics which makes it so interesting to learn about. This year especially, I have learned about chemistry and what it is, DNA and what it is made out of, and waves and technology and what it does to help our world.

Zoologists are not in high demand but they are crucial to society’s learning about wildlife and

From the start of high school I knew I wanted to go into a health related field of study. The path to become a physician is going to be strenuous but even as the little freshmen I was, I understood what it would take to achieve my passion of helping people. I started off my journey with volunteering at the local health fair held at my local mosque; for the past three years I have been attending the fairs and helping as best as I can, as a translator. Most of the people living in the community that go and have their health screened do not speech English so I serve as a translator between the medical professional and the patient, during the fair. After that, I decided to take a chance and apply at Cook Children's hospital for a volunteering spot

Enclosed is my resume in response to the vacancy announcement Developmental Specialist, listed on Indeed.com. Educationally, I have a Master’s degree in psychology and I am looking to become part of an organization that can benefit from all my skills while developing my career as well.

I am pursuing veterinary clinical experience. I am currently attending Michigan State University where I am working towards my bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. I then plan to continue my education in the fall of 2018 and obtain my Veterinary License. I am seeking more hands-on experience in a clinical setting to obtain invaluable experience that cannot be taught in a classroom.

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.

I believe that I am the best candidate for the Zoo Crew because I have a genuine passion for animals, people, the world, and learning. The Houston Zoo will have the great opportunity to foster a soul that wants to grow, learn, and achieve great things in life. Not only will I bring my ardor, but I will bring my positive energy to an already positive atmosphere. To be surrounded by other students my age, willing to give up their summer, to work with one another, and share a love for animals and children, is mind blowing to say the least. I am astounded, yet terrified at all the things I have yet to learn, and all the experiences I have yet to live. I see the Houston Zoo being a vivid,cherished memory someday, as well as the Houston Zoo remembering

Kylie Buer, a student attending Springfield Catholic High School, had answered a few questions for me. I had first asked her what her hobbies were. Trying to break the ice and getting this interview rolling. Answering “Really I enjoy art. Creating an idea into something beautiful”. Kylie, when asked to describe herself, had laughed and continued saying “caring, creative, blunt, straightforward, and smiley”. Continuing on this interview I had asked what her goals in life were. Leading her into describing how she wanst to be a zoologist. Helping animals in the medical side of zoology. The sparkfire for this love of zoology came from going to the zoo as a child, seeing how the zoologist took care of the animals. When having this experience, she
