As with most other people, I always have difficulties when taking my dog to the vet. It seems that even just saying the word “vet” strikes fear into his eyes. Because of this, it is always my goal to ensure that my pets have a calm and caring experience when taking them to be checked. This is also the focus of VETSnyc. Each experience is personalized and there is an unmistakable sense of community that is essential for those who want the best care for their pets. Another important aspect of this organization is to reach out to members of the community, either through blogs or websites, to ensure that people are aware of the distinct and individualized environment VETSnyc provides. I believe that with my unique skillset and vast writing experience, I am an ideal candidate for the VETSnyc web content internship. As a member of the VETSnyc web team, my ability to incorporate other’s feedback of my work in order to improve its quality would be an incredibly useful asset. Since I would be writing web-ready pieces, I would have to …show more content…
revise my articles to ensure they are presentable to the general public. This past semester I have gained significant experience in this field through my writing seminar, which dealt with the topic of magic and antiquity in ancient Greece. We wrote two main pieces, a literature review and a justificatory public argument. For these papers, we went through an extensive peer review process, editing both in a one-on-one and larger group setting. Through this procedure, I gained experience making revisions of my work based on other’s comments and critiques. My public argument piece discussed the disadvantages of animal testing in the cosmetic industry from a classical viewpoint. After taking into consideration all of my peer’s reviews, I was able to highlight specific problems that needed to be solved, create an extensive revision plan, and improve the quality of my work. As a web content intern, I would greatly utilize this skill for editing my own work based on other’s comments. This is an essential tool for creating pieces for blogs and websites that are ready for presentation. I am also able to successfully edit other’s work in order to aid them in revising their pieces, which is a another vital aspect of this internship. The new VETSnyc blog will be updated several times a week and it is critical that the content is edited and ready for viewing. In my multiple reviews of my peer’s literature reviews and justificatory arguments, my comments are well thought out and aim to help the author better prepare for submission. As seen in my one-on-one peer review, I am also proficient at finding grammatical and typographical mistakes. By correcting these errors, I can successfully help my peers edit their drafts. Furthermore, I always utilize these same skills to check over my own work. My strict attention to detail would be extremely beneficial in this position, since I would be responsible for a variety of web-based content that should be ready to view with no grammatical errors. Another useful skill that I possess is the ability to write professionally and creatively and to write for a specific audience.
In my justificatory argument, I wrote for the venue Eidolon, which is a site that bridges the gap between classics and the modern day and is geared toward the general public. As seen in my final draft, I am capable of explaining hard-to-understand topics in a clear way. I can also format documents in order to appeal to a wide variety of people. This skill would be invaluable to a web content writer. For this position, I would be responsible for writing about the animal hospital and other pet-related issues, both humorous and informative. Since all of my pieces would be written for blogs and websites that a diverse base of people will see, it is crucial that I have the ability to write for a broad audience. Based on my experience from writing seminar, I am proficient in this task and would excel in this
internship. Because of my ability to edit work, make revisions, and write for a general audience I believe that I am a uniquely qualified candidate for the web content internship position at VETSnyc. Thank you for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon.
Despite finding Harley’s article easier to absorb, I will be providing insight and knowledge of Scannell’s article “Dailiness” as I drew interest into his concepts and ideas behind the notion of temporality of everyday life. After Scannell’s reading, I could see myself reflecting different notions of time and ‘media time’, through his concepts of routinisation and the ‘care structures’ of dailiness I became exposed to the recurring cycle we live in.
The first media text I chose to create for my portfolio is a blog post because there is no specific instruction to follow as I’m am able to write in my own personal opinion.

An explanation is a set of statements constructed to describe a set of facts which clarifies the causes, contexts, and consequences of those facts. This description may establish rules or laws, and may clarify the existing ones in relation to any objects, or phenomena examined. The first piece Bush Remarks Roil Debate over Teaching of Evolution written by Elizabeth Bumiller, is an explanation. Bumiller addresses her points using facts rather than opinions, she also says, “Recalling his days as Texas governor, Mr. Bush said in the interview, according to a transcript, “I felt like both sides ought to be properly taught.”(2), this signifies that this is an explanation and not an argument since he sees both sides instead of choosing one. For

On December 2,2015 I went to to the Lynnhaven building to receive some feedback on my agreement paper for English 111. It was a very rainy day after running through the rain when I reached the writing center room. There was a yellow note saying that the writing center was in the student center until December 4,2015. After reading the note I ran back in the rain to my car.It was to cold to walk it was raining. As I approached the student center I was told by a security guard that the tutoring lab was located on the third floor. I had walked up three flights of stairs. When I had finally reached the third floor,I walk into the tutoring lab. There were about eight tables, but only four staff members and one student. Amen had approached me asking what did I need help with today. I replied saying that I would like some feedback on my paper for English. He then pointed to the writing table and said “she can assist you with your paper”.
Since March 2013 I have been tending to the animals at Tam O’ Shanter Urban Farm at weekends, which demonstrates both my dedication to animal welfare and also my ability to work as a team.

“The most successful Veterinary Technicians are passionate about the animals that they see on a daily basis and be able to control their emotions” (Career Cruising). The care of animals is very important so they don’t feel threatened by the Veterinary Technician and claw, bite, or growl at them. Veterinary Technicians must show their love of animals to the patients and their owners. many animals will feel the emotions that people give off and the animal can react to that emotion in a good or in a bad case bad. A Vet Technicians job is to be calm and not show emotions to the patient and family so the family won’t have emotional distress towards the clinic.
When owners take their pets to the clinic, they are understandably anxious about the results and outcome of the visit. While it’s the veterinarian's job to provide care for the animal, it’s also their job to put the owners at ease, reassuring them that their pet will indeed be fine. This communication is vital for building trust, as it lets the owner know what is happening to their animal and gives them confidence in believing that everything will be okay. What’s more, veterinarians that take the time to thoroughly explain procedures and instructions regarding petcare, are teaching pet owners how to better tend to their
Equine veterinarians inspire others by working long hours in dangerous conditions and sticking with them until the patient is in good health.
The complexity and diversity of the animal kingdom has always captivated me. This has resulted in a desire to accomplish a place in Veterinary Nursing. This aspiration has it’s origins in an early family life occupied with animals and pets, a developing interest in the science and wellbeing of animals and an expanding sense of duty for the care we owe to the creatures which convey true companionship and loyalty. Work experience and volunteering has taught me to recognise and appreciate the ‘guardian’ roles performed by the veterinarian and veterinary nurse which has served to increase my determination to pursue a career in a field which has an everlasting effect on animal companionship and welfare, as well as human industry, community and
