I've always loved animals, ever since I was a little girl I would play doctor on my stuffed animals. When I got a little older I would catch lizards in my yard and "take care of them" and then let them go again. I would perform "check ups" on my dogs and on the cows in our pasture, I would take care of them if they were sick and make sure they were happy.
I've always wanted to do something with animals, I wanted to be a veterinarian for the longest time, but decided to go a different rout and go to school to be a veterinary technician. I'm happy with my decision and absolutely can not wait to get into school and start training for my dream job.
Yes, I know, I won't be making as much money as an actual veterinarian but that is perfectly fine with me. The technician actually gets to do a little more with the animals and that's what I want. I know that college will be stressful and my classes won't be easy but as long as you love what you do everything will work itself out.
My love for animals has been a life long thing, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I love being around them more than I like being around people, Probably because animals don't talk back or make unnecessary remarks.
I'm looking forward to the long days and late night studying because it will be something I'm passionate about. I can't wait to start doing clinicals and being with the animals.
I can't wait to start my dream job as a Vetrinary Technicin!
