Annemarie Fjeld: Mother by day, pet savior by night. As Annemarie Fjeld gets up from her nap at 3:45, she gets ready to head down to her graveyard shift as a veterinarian. After getting out of the shower, she puts on work scrubs, and checks with her 3 sons to make sure they have food for dinner, and that they know to feed and give their diabetic dog insulin when he doesn't come with her to work. While looking in the mirror to make sure she looks professional, her youngest son is busy creating a Claymation video. Before leaving, she reminds the oldest to wash the dishes. This routine is a frequent one for this hardworking mother.
Annemarie grew up in Vancouver, WA during the 1970's and 1980's, when school was much different than it is nowadays.

"There are only about 25 schools specializing in veterinary work in the United States, and it's challenging to get in," she states. Not only do you need at least $147,000 for a four year tuition at a public institution today, but the admission rates are often somewhere between 6.8% and 34.9%. "Additionally, you need to get an undergrad college degree before attending, prerequisites in biology, chemistry, math, and any other required courses, and you need really good grades in them." Clearly, the veterinarian work isn't cut out for just anyone.
She does have some nitpicks with her work, however. "One of the things that bugs me is when people don't take responsibility for their pets, or expect the veterinary clinics to pay for it. It does cost us a good amount of money to run a business." Like hospitals, veterinary clinics' resources are quite costly, often needing certain medicines to be ordered in large amounts, and the workers are highly specialized, so it's not something that anyone can do. "Pet ownership is a responsibility, whether that be day-to-day care, or financial responsibility for medical care. It's not a
To become a vet tech you have to go through the proper education and training required. An associate’s degree in veterinary technology is required to become a vet tech and takes about two years to accomplish (Exploring Medical Careers). An internship may also be a requirement of the tech course (Interview with a Veterinary Technician). Along with the degree, the Veterinary Technician National Exam must be passed to become certified. These tests cost $300.00 and are 170 questions long. The VTNE also offers two practice exams, each $45, to help one prepare for the actual exam (Vet Tech | VTNE | Veterinary Technician National Examination.). After becoming certified, a vet tech may have to undergo on the job training under supervision by a vet or an experienced vet tech (Collegegrad.com).

On November 17, 1942 Evelyn and John VandenBosch gave birth to their first daughter, Yvonne VandenBosch. She was born in Butterworth Hospital located in the growing city of Grand Rapids, Michigan but that was not home for long. Along with her two siblings, Carol and Joan, Yvonne had a mother that could not stay planted for long. By the age of eight Yvonne had lived in Michigan, Oregon, and Texas. The moving took a toll on Yvonne’s view of life. She was always looking for something new or different, similar to the way her mother acted. With an ever-moving mother came a father that was always looking for new ways to make money for the family. On one occasion, her father thought it would be a good idea to buy rabbits and raise them. For some odd
Faye is fighting to re-home animals that have been abandoned and abused. Since 2012 she has re-homed more than 60 dogs, and about 20 kittens.

Faye thinks just by adopting an animal you can help animal abandonment. Also, Faye has her own book on why animal abandonment isn’t good. Although Faye thinks her job is stressful, she thinks it’s easy because she enjoys doing her job and helping animals find a home.
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.

Sally is amongst the most wonderful mothers I have ever known. She begins each morning – rain-or-shine, lively-or-sick – at three o’clock sharp, when the late night grasshopper chirps are mixed with those of the early birds’. Now, she doesn’t arrive at work until nine and only spend thirty minutes getting herself freshened-up, dressed, and fed. So where does all of her remaining time go? The short answer is: Sally is devoted to singlehandedly preparing her daughter for each day ahead. No lack of congratulations is welcomed for her nor the thousands of mothers who struggle with the same tasks of caring for their infants. Like other mothers, Sally wakes, bathes, dresses, feeds, and prepares a list of items that her daughter will need at the
Queen Anna Njinga Ana de Sousa Njinga Mbandu (1583 – 1663) was the seventeenth century female ruler of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms or the Mbundu people in Angola, Africa. Queen Anna Njinga, known for her diplomatic negotiating skills, administrative abilities and brilliant military tactics came to power after the suicide of her brother, Mbundi and the death his young son, Kaza. Her kingdom had no experience with a female monarch so Queen Njinga took on the attributes of a king by dressing like a man, commanding her own armies in combat, and had male concubines, dressed as women to stress her kingly status.

Jean Bartik (née Jennings) was a famous mathematician that was one of the original programmers for the ENIAC computer. Born in 1924 in a rural county in Missouri with six other siblings, Jean and her family all had backgrounds in teaching so her proficiency in mathematics at a young age was no surprise. “When she entered Northwest Missouri State Teachers College she intended to take a degree in journalism, but she did not like her advisor so quickly decided to change to major in mathematics” (O'Connor and Robertson, 2012). This was when she became the black sheep in her family because she was the only one who didn’t go into education.
