But as for me, the very pristine passion for both my future education and job was shaped when I was only a 9-year-old-boy.

Physicians and veterinarians are able to help individuals with problems and diseases. But with public health, one would be enabled to help both humans and animals on a large scale, even at global level.

I welcome the challenge of participating in such a dynamic and intriguing degree program. I hope my application for admission and financial aid will be given the most serious
