February 28th Introductory paper Choosing my career was very easy, I always wanted to have a career where I could make a difference for both humans and animals. I always wanted to help reduce the problem of pet overpopulation, and ease animal suffering. I chose to become a Veterinarian specifically for large and small domestic animals because I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, horses and even rabbits. Having built a connection with each animal, I have come to the realization that becoming a vet would allow me to find joy in what I do. Therefore, I want to be able to uphold the standards of professionalism, be honest in all professional interactions with …show more content…

Personally, I love the idea of becoming Veterinarian. Since I have been here at UNH, I have struggled a lot with my classes. Not only was understanding the material hard for me but also being able to put what I learn into real-life situations was troubling for me too. When I am in Lab for most of my classes, I feel pressured and nervous that I mess up the whole procedure because I am too focused on doing it right that I manage to do it wrong. Some days I felt like maybe this major was not for me, but I didn't want to give up because it was all about doing what I love the most. As time flew by, I was struggling with classes like Anatomy & Physiology and Organic Chemistry given that they were both a lecture class. I was used to smaller classes, and more one on one time with the professor. Challenges, setbacks, and weaknesses like learning how to study on your own and managing your time were what caused me to struggle a lot. However, I still haven't given up on myself in fact, I have been getting better at finding alternatives to better understand my classes. Therefore, although I still find myself struggling a little bit with classes, I will continue to volunteer as much as I can to help increase my success and chances for becoming a

I have gained several weeks of experience which have allowed me to grow my basic knowledge of animal welfare, which I hope to develop further.

  • My College Friday: My First Semester Of College

    In the beginning of the semester, I thought it would be enjoyable to take Anatomy and Physiology since I had already taken it in high school and actually received a high grade. I had heard from many students that this class is much harder in college and will often have a big lecture setting with more than three-hundred students, but I brushed this off and went into the classroom with a positive attitude. I quickly learned that big lectures were not the classes that I would succeed in, instead I preferred a small classroom setting where I am able to ask questions whenever needed. Throughout the semester, I also learned that I prefer online classes when it comes to mathematics and social sciences because they can be self-taught and I found myself often uninterested during the

When I was taking the class, I realized that if I need to go to medical school, I would have to take many science classes. After I saw my final grade for the class, which was a “B,” I was disappointed and starting to consider another career goal because I thought I would not be able to do well in college and get into medical school.
