Often when asked what they want to be when they grow up, most children reply a doctor, his or her favorite superhero, or a firefighter. As a kid, I always responded with a veterinarian, another popular answer among kids. As I grew older my answer stayed the same as my interest in the physiology, morphology, and behavior of animals increased. Presently, I choose to become a veterinarian and also to minor in wildlife conservation. I plan on graduating from college with my DVM/PhD to further the research of animal species and discovering cures, behavioral patterns, and extinction prevention methods. After watching the show Cosmos, narrated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, it has come to my attention that in the Cosmic Year humans have only occupied earth for a mere 14 seconds. In those 14 seconds of the cosmic year humans have caused the mass destruction of not only …show more content…
My mission is to experience what has been given to us here on Earth, experience the countless opportunities and to try new things. I want to be able to seek greater things, instead of sitting in a confined safe bubble of consistency. I want to experience Earth and all of its offerings, whether or not I fail along the way. This, leading me to my favorite quote. Jon Sinclair once said, "Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo." This quote is poignant to me because throughout life we are all going to experience failures. Through our failures we learn how to better manage a situation or what to do differently the next time around. This quote points out that when we do fail, it is not a debilitating factor that sticks with us forever. Yes, the failure is going to set us back some and cause trouble. However, as we work through and progress from out failure, we will learn to work through the setback, or pain. Soon enough, our failure will "heal" and be forgotten as we carry on throughout our
My ambition for studying a degree for dental hygiene propagated during my research about it. I am very much aware of the importance of the hygienist's role in maintaining the patient's health as I have already experienced it during work experience in a dental surgery. I enjoy helping patients and I am able to communicate with different types of people. I can handle difficult situations in a small period of time without hesitation. I read scientific journals and enjoy researching about science and learning about the human body to develop my knowledge. I am currently studying BTEC level 3 sciences at St Albans Academy. I also achieved a gold Duke Of Edinburgh award and demonstrated effective leadership skills during my expeditions and practises. I The role of a dental hygienist comes with a big responsibility

After over 15 years of working as a CNA and Caregiver, I decided that I wanted to continue my education in the medical field. In 2013 I took the first step towards gaining a better future with more experience as a medical professional. I enrolled into a Medical Assistant program at IBMC college of Longmont. It has been a long road and I am almost to the finish line having gained essential skills needed to move further into my career. It has been a grueling and eye opening experience for me being an adult learner returning back to school at 33 years of age. I persevered through these pass two years with courage and determination, never letting my short comings get the best of me. As I approach the end of my journey with IBMC I have realized that I have a passion for helping those persons who
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.
I would like to make full use of a veterinary bioscience course to build a pathway to enable me to use present knowledge and practical skills in the veterinary field. And to be a part of developing and supporting the future of veterinary profession.
“Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it” (Leon Brown). I have this quote printed out and on the wall next to my door so I can see it every day as a reminder to myself. I believe that we all have a purpose on this earth and that everything we go through on the journey there has a reason whether to teach a lesson or set an example. We have places where we want to end up and goals we want to achieve. We set these goals and dreams to help us fulfill the purpose we see for ourselves. I believe my purpose is to help people in their times of need. To fulfill my purpose, I will need to use my personal, academic and career goals to create a pathway to get to where I want to be
Do you care for animals whenever possible? Do you like to be with all kinds of animals? A small animal veterinary job is perfect for you if you answered yes to these two questions. Veterinarians can care for many small animals, no matter what their problem.
Veterinarians are medical professionals who look out for the well being of animals. Today’s pets play more of an active part in everyday life. Veterinarians are crucial in treating and diagnosing those animals; they make sure the animals stay healthy and in good care.
From a young age, I was drawn to the healthcare field, not because the amount of money doctors, nurses and other health professionals made, but because of the dedication and contentment I saw on their faces helping someone in need. Growing up everyone wanted to become a doctor or a nurse and as a little child being a doctor or a nurse was a profession many parents wanted their child to pursue as a career. Needless to say, I fell into that category because I had high hopes that one day I will become a nurse. However, that dream came to a halt.
When I entered medical school, I was not sure about the career path I would follow. Although, throughout my under graduate years I matured as a person, worked in diverse environments and advanced my skills as a medical student I still remained in constant vacillation between specialties. During my internship, however, I started to look past the mundane and focused on the complexity and vastness of Internal Medicine which fascinated me. Moreover, the intellectual stimulation this field offers while making difficult diagnosis, dealing with challenging clinical cases and understanding the advances in patient management sparked my curiosity. I realized how a disease disturbs the intricate web of tens of systems working in harmony and the job of an internist was to manipulate the forces maintaining that balance.
While attending a Pharmacognosy seminar held at the University of Minnesota by Dr. James R. Fuch, I witnessed the importance of drug kinetics, bioavailability, toxicity and how drugs are administered. Indeed, it is what first directed my curiosity to learn more about applying chemistry to health care and research, which convinced me early on that becoming a clinical research pharmacist is the career path I must take. Pursuing a career in pharmacy is derived from a deep self-interest in studying pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and to serve as a bridge for underrepresented Hmong communities. According to the 2010 US Census, there are roughly 260,073 people of Hmong descent living in the United States. Many are war veterans and elderly refugees
Failure can cause a torrent of mixed emotions and thoughts. One can begin to doubt their motives for even attempting to succeed at a certain task. Some people may choose to give up after failure, but there are a select few who rise up to the occasion and move forward to try and succeed no matter how many tries it takes. By overcoming those difficult moments in life, it gives a person a sense of accomplishment and pride and that alone is a beautiful thing.
My career choice is a Veterinarian. A Veterinarian is a person qualified to treat diseased or injured animals.

They are respected leaders in their communities as well because of their caring heart for both animals and humans. The Veterinary field is also diverse. Veterinarians have a part in aquatics, public health, livestock, exotix animals, and small household pets. Veterinarians often
