Animal Science has never come easily to me. Honestly, it’s a brutal subject to learn. Despite the continuous challenges I’ve faced, I’ve devoted countless hours to become a master of my craft. Sure I have experienced my occasional outburst during a lecture. I’ve sobbed just as well because I could not understand organic chemistry or integrated anatomy, no matter how hard I worked and tried to dissect it. The journey to fluency is tough especially when studying subject that involve science. However, I could not imagine a life without Animal Science and I wouldn’t want to. I took my first Animal science class when I was in high school. Initially my understanding of the subject was superficial. I knew that I love animals and wanted to become a doctor and thought that human medicine was boring. Over time, I developed a deeper connection for Animal science from volunteering at a local animal hospital where I was able to expand my knowledge and understanding of animals; as for the science portion, well, let’s just say that science and I have a weird relationship.

While obtaining my bachelor’s I was also an undergraduate researcher studying antibiotic resistance in swine. Through this opportunity I learned essential skill on how to conduct my project as a researcher. If admitted into graduate school, I plan to continue my research and publish an article on the correlation of antimicrobial resistance and the nutritional effects in animals. My long term goal is to open my own animal hospital in Australia. I chose this career path because ever since I was a child I have always acquired a deep compassion for animals and their well-being. With the vast shortage of African Americans in the veterinary field, I want to help open doors so that individuals behind me can see my work and understand that with hard work and commitment anything is
I am extremely interested in pursuing my life career as a veterinary technician because I believe any animal’s welfare and stability is just as important as a human being’s. I absolutely...
Observing my growing interest in horses, my mother purchased books on veterinary medicine and I studied them with enthusiasm. Science became my favorite subject. I developed a love for learning about science including everything from environmental studies, to genetics, to anatomy, to astronomy,
For as long as I can remember, my childhood dream has always been wanting to become a veterinarian. While other kids were outside having fun at the playground, I was at the library reading books and learning about the different animals. However, as I matured, I realized that being a veterinarian isn’t just about caring for and assisting injured animals. Being a veterinarian means having the ability to make quick decisions in stressful situations, showing complete dedication and passion to this profession, and being able to effectively communicate to pet owners.
Many people have lost their pets and close family members because there is no way to get the help or medical attention that the animal so desperately needed. Every day in the United States, veterinarians are working hard to save animal’s lives. People will always continue to want and to breed pets. Therefore, to help and cure all these pets, a steady stream of veterinarians will be needed for many years to come. Over the years, the requirements and processes to becoming a veterinarian have changed. To become a successful veterinarian one must complete all necessary education and on the job training, be friendly and love animals, and have a burning passion to help both the pet and the pet owner.
In one way or another, I have been taking care of animals my entire life. Growing up, I was completely dedicated to animals, caring for what could be considered a mini zoo. Naturally, as a child, I was set on a career as a veterinarian. Like most children, I was naive about the veterinary profession, but I had plenty of people to warn me about its challenges. Albeit initially discouraged from becoming a veterinarian, my search for a meaningful career not only revived my spark for veterinary medicine but also gave me the maturity and experience necessary to succeed in it.
Employment of veterinary assistants that work mainly in clinics is projected to grow 10% until 2022. High occupational turnover will result in good job opportunities. (Summary)
Everyone has a family member, friend, or beloved pet so sick you were not sure if they would live or die, and you find out about a new surgery procedure or medicine available to save them. Have you ever wondered where these new surgery procedures or medicines come from? When you think about all the major medical advancements over the last few decades and beyond, it has depended on animal research. As research moves into the future, we need to understand how the body works and how diseases progress. We need to find ways to treat, cure, or prevent disease and disability. The use of animal research is providing us with new technologies and medicines, which are benefiting both humans and animals in treating and extending lives.
The threat of antibiotic resistant bacteria emerging through the increase in usage of antibiotics has become a global health concern. Antibiotic resistance bacteria cause infections that are unable to be treated by normal measures that lead to prolonged illness and greater risk of death. The number of antibiotic resistant strains threatens health security, the control of infectious disease, increases the cost of health care, and can damage trade (World Health Organization, 2013). Animal husbandry and the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics in animal feed are listed as two of the major factors leading to the acceleration and sprea...
A Southern, white man’s masculinity comes from his power and his ability to exert that power over his perceived inferiors—non-whites, women, and children. If he cannot exert his power, then he is not a man. The African-American Civil Rights Movement threatened that power because, if blacks were no longer inferior to whites, then whites were no longer superior to blacks. To secure their position socially, politically, and economically, white men must emasculate African-American men or be emasculated themselves.
...e a veterinarian because I always wanted to know how to help them. But I also know myself well enough that I'm very emotional person that has a hard time handling animals being put down. If we pay close attention to the animal’s behaviors, we will notice they offer many lessons for human beings. Such as they make love last, loyalty, they find love in hopeless place, they help each other out, they can sense others feelings, they respect their elders and they exhibit signs of empathy and compassion. Therefore, the American Museum of Natural History in New York was an interesting and amazing place to visit and to learn. I learned new things about my favorite and different animals. As a final point, I believe as biologists, we still do not know many things about the natural history of many animals, and behind each animal lies a hidden story waiting to be discovered.
When the average person thinks about zoology, they usually think about a zoo and or animals. As said in General Zoology, many questions come with this topic. “What is life? In what ways are the various kinds of animals alike or unlike in structure, internal processes, and modes of life? How do animals carry on their activities? How are the many kinds related to one another? In what ways does man resemble and differ from other living things? The answers to many of these questions are provided by the science of zoology.” (General Zoology, page 3). While zoology does involve animals, the general study of zoology is far more complicated then one would imagine. Zoology is a branch of biology that studies the classification, origins, habitats and behaviors of organisms. Someone who studies zoology is a zoologist, and has the tasks of learning about new species and their habitats. It is a job that if mastered, can be one of the most fulfilling and knowledgeable careers someone can obtain.
My passion for the fascinating wolrd of science literally can not be put into words. Since receiving my first home science kit at five years of age the way things work and why has always been at the forefront of my mind. During my early years I would find great delight in examining anything I could fit under the lens of my telescope. I will never forget my first look at the intricate detail of a human hair.
I entered the center completely unprepared for the level of education and hard work that the center demanded, but thrived knowing that I was helping heal animals in peril (many of whom were there directly because of human actions). After many hours of feeding, cage cleaning, and handling dangerous patients, I felt as though I had learned as much from the animals as I had my teachers. However, I also found myself frustrated more often than not when I found a limit to my ability to aid animals. There is no worse feeling than knowing that an animal urgently needs care that you are unable to provide. This feeling encouraged me to further my education in animal care, so that I can be the best caretaker possible for animals in
Life is unpredictable. We, the human race are very good at understanding the past, but cannot grasp an understanding of our own future. Life is funny when it comes to circumstances that make you who you are. The littlest occurrence could impact your life in more than a million ways. For me, it was fourth grade, the yearly trip to the annual Ringling Brothers Circus where I was first introduced to animals being used for human entertainment.
There are various aspects and specialties in the study of animal science. When looking at animal science as a broad study, it can seem quite amature. Once the break down begins and all the different aspects of animal science, it gets overwhelming and too hard to grasp. Luckily scientists have their areas of specialties and are able to work together to bring us the comprehensive knowledge we have today. Everyone is tied to agriculture, whether they realize it or not. We would not be here if it was not for agriculture. Agriculture provides our jobs, shelter, clothing, food, etc. Animal Science takes those simple categories and advances
