Over the summer I researched college majors. Considering I love biology and chemistry, I came to the conclusion that I want to major in biochemistry.

I find it pointless to give up on something that is already partially done. Even if I am not familiar with the working conditions, I try my hardest to adapt to the environment in order to do better and get ahead. Five qualities that best describe me are responsible, hardworking, adventuresome, orderly, and idealistic. I do not expect things to just fall into place in life. I believe that a person will not achieve success unless they try their hardest. I also have to plan things out ahead of time. If I do not plan out my future in high school, I would be very clueless once I graduate. That is why I believe that I will not get anywhere if I am not organized or hardworking. Although I figured out what I want to do with my life, I am still terrified by what the future holds. Nevertheless, I can not wait to see how everything turns out for me when I get

There are multiple benefits that come with being a veterinary technician. These benefits include, but are not limited to, a high job outlook, great room for advancement, and only two years of schooling (depending on the route you take).

    For anyone to become a veterinarian, one must have all the necessary requirements for both education and on the job training. During high school, science courses are highly recommended. After high school, one must obtain their doctor of veterinary medicine degree. To achieve this goal, Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center says one must “attend 4 years at college of veterinary medicine, complete 45-90 hours of undergraduate study, and must pass at least one examination in the state at in which they intend to practice” (3-4 2014). During a person’s schooling, Veterinarians are expected to make decent grades and to show an interest for learning the sciences as well as technology. Besides having the education, a person must also indulge in some training both on the job and in shadowing experiences. Most if not all training will be completed in veterinarian school and will allow the veterinarian to start working right away. “According to the 2006-07 edition of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook, in 2004 annual sala...

    When I was little my teachers would ask me “Cora, What do you want to be when you grow up”? In reality, I couldn’t make up my mind on what I wanted to be ‘when I grew up’. When I was around seven, I went from wanting to be a Veterinarian to being an Astronaut, then back to a Veterinarian again. Around age 10, I wanted to be a dentist, even though I hate mouths. Then I wanted to be a Veterinarian again. Junior Year of high school came and when we started to research colleges and careers I heard that Premed programs were so hard to get into, and I wasn’t fooling anyone with my grades. I did some research on Veterinarians and I discovered that the Veterinarians don’t really handle the animals like I thought they did. Then I learned about Veterinary Technicians, they do so much with the animals. I

    Growing up in rural Texas, you have to learn to care for the things that are important to you. There really is not much to entertain yourself with so many adolescents become vulnerable to trouble. Luckily for me, I grew up with the responsibilities that came with growing up on a farm. I had things to care for on a daily basis and for the longest time, the things I cared for most were animals. I exhibited livestock in my youth and this is where I spent the majority of my time. I would come home from football or basketball practice and go straight up to the barn to tend to my animals. Along with feeding and cleaning, I would often administer vaccinations and antibiotics when needed. Because of my interest in medicine and science coupled with my love for animals some could say that I was destined to become veterinarian. The major I chose, animal science, even supported that notion. However, it was not until the summer after my freshman year of undergraduate where I realized it was human medicine that my heart was yearning for.

    I finished my first semester of school at Colorado Mountain College where I am studying to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I moved from Vermont, rather last minute, upon finally finding a place to live. It was quite a task. Upon my arrival, I hit the ground running with my classes. My commute was between 3-5 hours every day due to the bridge being closed, and yet I managed to attain a 3.47 GPA while studying on 4 buses each direction. I feel relieved and saddened at the same time because some of my colleagues who were on “this side” of the bridge were not able to complete the semester. However, some of them will come back and give it a go now that the bridge is completed. My commute will be 30 minutes each direction, thank goodness!
