For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a veterinarian. There wasn't an animal in the world that I didn't love; I even went out of my way to save bugs in danger of being killed by squeamish family members. As I went throughout school in my younger years, I began to meet all different types of people, all who had different interests in life. Every time I was asked the dreaded question of "what do you want to be when you grow up," I had an answer: I was going to be a vet. Many of my friends and even my siblings hadn't figured out exactly what they wanted to do for the rest of their lives, so I felt lucky that I had found my passion. It wasn't until high school when I began to feel more pressure. My freshman year, I was still determined to go to vet school. I had even taken two veterinarian camps in previous summers so that I could gain more experience. My fellow peers began comparing vocation possibilities based on every possible …show more content…
Who really was I if I wasn't in a career that required me to be constantly performing calculus or conferring with top researchers in the world? This fear of losing what I saw as my identity left me feeling lost. Should I follow what I have discovered to be a new passion that could led to exciting opportunities, or should I play it safe and stick to a career path that has a reputation of creating world-renown scientists? I contemplated this question often for a long time. When family members and teachers began asking what I planned to study as college applications became available, I began to tell them I wasn't sure. This was the truth; I wasn't ready to give up on science-related career path that I planned on my whole life. I soon began to realize that I was not going to spend my life in a job just because it made me look smart to everyone else. In a few short months, my intended field of study changed from biology and pre-vet to undecided to
For as long as I can remember, my childhood dream has always been wanting to become a veterinarian. While other kids were outside having fun at the playground, I was at the library reading books and learning about the different animals. However, as I matured, I realized that being a veterinarian isn’t just about caring for and assisting injured animals. Being a veterinarian means having the ability to make quick decisions in stressful situations, showing complete dedication and passion to this profession, and being able to effectively communicate to pet owners.
The earliest glimpse of my future was at an elementary career day years ago. When I filled out what I was going to dress up as I wrote the word, “farmacist.” My mom was a pharmacist and I looked up to her and wanted to be just like her! So when career day rolled around I dressed in a white coat carrying a big bottle full of M&M’s to dispense to my classmates. Now so many years later here I am actually about to take on graduate school and follow in my mother’s footsteps to become a pharmacist. Of course my career path has been less than a straight line from “farmasist” to pharmacist. My passion and talent for math and science in high school allowed me to seriously consider a career in engineering. However, the more I considered engineering, the more there seemed to be something missing. As much as I loved solving problems I did not see
When I was a child most of school was always based on what you wanted to be. Constantly I was being asked what I wanted to become, I had always answered with a careless answer that every adult expected. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. Soon as I moved through middle school and now going through high school I became interested in the medical field. With my passion for animals and always wanting to help them, I soon realized what I wanted to specialize in. I am interested in pursuing a career in veterinary the reason I would like to make my plan concur because I want to improve animal 's health, perform operations to cure them and possibly help them stay healthier for a much longer period. Veterinarians are always doing
Life goes on as well as we moving on, in order to live a happy life, money, passion, happiness and the meaning of it are essential keys. Among thousands of jobs and over billions of people, having a career or achieving a job is not only important but also competitive. Therefore, deciding what you are going to become has always been the toughest decision in life. I am not talking about Mozart, who was born to play and compose music, or Cristiano Ronaldo who decided to pursue for his career as a football player at the age of 14. I am talking about me and my just-found-out-career in a couple hours earlier, Nursing.
Some girls when they are little want to be a princess or have other fantastical dreams that will probably never happen; however, ever since I was little I have know I was different. I had a burning passion for animals and always wanted to be a veterinarian. Some people have told me I can not do it since the field is so competitive but I remained steadfast as I child clinging to my ambitions and even now I am pursing them. It is a challenge I will surmount if I take steps, slowly but surely, towards my goal. Even know I am taking steps and planning the steps I will take towards my goal and the steps I am planning to take in order to make my self stand out as an applicant when I apply to veterinary school are to gain hands on experience with animals in a variety of ways, gain experience by working directly with a veterinarian, and becoming involved in my community.
Growing up I struggled with the constant question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” With so many different career paths to choose from, it’s hard to become overwhelmed. As college gradually tiptoed in on me, I began to feel like I would never find the profession right for me. The few things that I did know I wanted in my future career were very simple to me. They were a job in the healthcare world where I could go home each night knowing I made a difference in someone’s life. A job that wasn’t just following a routine everyday but required creativity and brought new challenges while working with a diverse population.
I can 't recall when I realized both my parents were veterinarians. Their work was simply a part of my life and brought me exciting and wondrous moments such as holding a newborn puppy after a tough delivery or seeing the outcome of a difficult surgery. I grew up on a ranch with many animals, large and small. Numerous other animals were brought home for either treatment or to be fostered while finding a home. My first real job was working summers at my parent’s animal hospital. I always assumed having and caring for animals was normal. In retrospect, I was incredibly lucky to have had such unique opportunities to experience veterinary medicine first hand under my parents guidance.
Everyone at one point has to make a decision on what they want to be when they grow up. For me, that decision came rather unexpectedly and was a result of a new found interest due to self-discovery. It all began when I was around the age of 8 and I watched a documentary on aircraft. It documented all about planes, how they work and the science behind them. I was immediately captivated and gaining all that information as a young child really hit the spot in terms of a new found passion and interest that I could see myself later using. This passion stuck with me ever since as I have spent tons of spare time studying different types of aircraft and collecting model planes. It ultimately helped me with my answer to the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up as being an aeronautical engineer. It is not a career most would pursue, but it shows how self-discovery impacted me at a very young age and the impact is so log lasting that it has influenced most of the decision I make now in terms of courses I take at school and the extracurricular activities I am a part of. Without self-discovery, I was able to gain an understanding of where my interests lay, the abilities I have to acquire complex information and the feelings I had towards my new found interest and
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
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
So I started thinking about what I wanted to do; I went from teaching to law enforcement, computer programming to astronautics and numerous other professions. Now I come to a crossroad in my life where I must choose what to do with my future, choose what will make me happy.
I have always wanted to be veterinarian due to the fact that I loved animals, and for the first part of my life I expected this to be the reason I could achieve this. I never thought about all of the hard work, studying, and
I am determined to become a veterinarian. I want to be a food safety and inspection veterinarian. By being this type of veterinarian, i will help make animals lives different. I will make sure that every animal is safe at all times. After seeing all the abandoned animals, i have decided to make a change and help supply them. I want all animals in the future to have a good life no matter what condition they are in. I will always make sure that animals are well and succeeding in the future.
Unlike others who found their calling early on, I did not know what I was meant to do. There have been many instances in my life where I was given various paths to choose from. I was among the people who graduated from high school excelling in many subjects, but I was not sure which path I wanted to pursue. I started out as a nursing intended major because I always knew I wanted to work in healthcare, but the journey to finding the niche where my skills set fit holistically was a difficult one. I found my passion through anthropology because of how well I identify with diverse groups of people.
Herbert A. Simon said, “The choices we make lead up to actual experiences. It is one thing to decide to climb a mountain. It is quite another to be on top of it.” As we are about to graduate and go on to choose not just jobs, but careers, we need to commit to a decision. I have always been thinking of what I wanted to be since I could talk, whether it’s an actress, writer, teacher, or doctor.
