Some of the best veterinary schools in the country are Texas A&M, Oklahoma State University, and Louisiana State University. Vet school is even more competitive than medical, so acceptance into any of these schools is very impressive.…

My fascination with Radiology began when I was just eight years old when I saw my younger cousin Zachary break his arm. I had never broken a bone before, let alone witnessed someone else break a bone, and I was instantly intrigued. The moment I saw his x-rays in the emergency room that day, my curiosity spiked. As an eight year old, I remember thinking how cool it was that they were able to get a picture of the inside of Zach's arm without cutting him open. Ever since that day, my interest in this field of medicine has been undeniable, and I have been consistently working hard toward achieving my dream of becoming a Radiologic Technologist.…
University of Smith and Green, have you ever wondered what it's like to be a middle class undergraduate in today's economy? They say that education makes the population thrive, when most of the population find that they can barely afford post-secondary classes.

However, when I do get accepted into veterinary school, i'm planning to work really hard even though the nature of vet school is extremely difficult and comes with a ton of work. Which is why I think I deserve the $10,000 scholarship to The…

Biologists in these fields take courses for a certain group of animals they want to study. Botany and chemistry and physics courses are required for zoologists and wildlife biologists because they need a well- rounded background of science. Courses in mathematics and are needed for zoologists and wildlife biologists because they need to complete complex data analysis. The understanding majority of computer science is also something that they need to understand. My reflection is yes, there is a lot of scientific and mathematics involved, I personally think this is a wonderful job for animal lovers and science…
Marine biology has always been a passion of mine ever since I first heard about it when I was four years old. My family has a deep-running connection to the ocean so when they realized how interested I was in science, they suggested marine biology. I loved the concept of studying unknown creatures that sit miles below the surface of our planet that no human has ever seen. I’ve read many textbooks and field guides over the years, which started as an amusing pastime. However, the more I read, the more I became completely and utterly engrossed in the subject which eventually shaped me into what I am today.…

Growing up I always wanted to be in a career that would make a significant difference, it wasn't until 10th grade where I saw an article on pathology and it was then that I knew this would be the career for me. Pathology can be defined as “a branch of medical science primarily concerning the cause, origin and nature of disease. It involves the examination of tissues, organs, bodily fluids and autopsies in order to study and diagnose disease” (Sally Robertson). The work that this career does is so very important to all of the human race without their research whos to say that an outbreak of a disease couldn't have wiped out the human race population. As the bacteria and viruses begin to evolve and mutate the job of pathologist becomes even…
To achieve my career in zoology I have to follow my career path which consists of a high school diploma, a Bachelor’s degree in zoology, employment, a graduate degree, and obtaining a higher position in my career.
