Becoming A Veterinarian

Improved Essays
Growing up on a farm, animals were always a big part of my life. I was always outside helping with chores or bringing home injured animals for which to care. Being in this environment has sparked my interest to become a veterinarian. On a farm with many animals, the vet was called to our house quite frequently. I was always amazed by the procedures that were performed and stood as close as I could to see exactly what was happening. I have also been able to help my dad with several procedures, such as: tubing a calf to release the gas in their stomach,pregnancy checking cows, and deworming sheep. Situations like these showed me how to stay steady, calm, and collected, as well as how to make the animal feel comfortable.

Since I was quite young at the time, I was unaware what the job actually entailed. Consequently, I was somehow under the impression that if I watched National Geographic and Animal Planet, then I could immediately become a veterinarian upon graduating high school. I was undeterred when I realized just how much time that needed to be dedicated to school, and instead, it motivated me to take challenging classes in high school and to pursue a job at an animal hospital.…

The devotion and love towards animals should be there, but without the drive to help every species of animals on a daily basis, it’s not enough. I want to be a vet because I can’t stand seeing dead animals rotting on the sideways. I can’t stand seeing stranded dogs scavenging for food, when they can have a home. I, cannot stand — For one second — See human beings use torturous and inhumane abuse upon animals for their own source of pure “entertainment”.…
