Animal Science Personal Statement

Improved Essays
Animal Science will open an opportunity for me to widen my horizon in learning about large, and small animals. When I first applied to Texas A&M I was devastated that I did not get in, but when I thought about it, I was going up against thousands of teenagers just like me. Therefore, I chose the road more or less traveled to a community college to get my basics and eventually transfer. Therefore I kept my head held high, and continued toward my goal. I chose animal science major, because this department offers an array of options to choose from. I believe that these options will help educate me and give me the experience I need to become a doctor in veterinary medicine.
My freshman year was great, I had wonderful professors that pushed me to flourish academically. I was prepared, but when it was time to take my harder courses, I buckled down and got down to business. College is nothing like high school, and I knew that, but that semester was a nice wake up call to be on my game and not to procrastinate, because that does not get you anywhere. I feel that when you continue to stay on track and study hard it will truly pay off. I then chose to take a summer class that

    For the past year, I could only provide an indefinite answer to a frequently asked question, How was your freshman year? In fact, those of us who experienced our freshman year could be addressed as “college veterans” will never initiate a conversation with regard to the past year. Perhaps they consider that the freshman year was not as consummate as they initially planned. I cannot judge my first year in college was successful or frustrating, but I feel I benefited from the meritorious experiences and practical knowledge gained from my college life. In my opinion, no matter what goals one wishes to achieve in college, whether its grade, love, health, or sense of accomplishment, one has to be prepared for both failures and…

    My interest in the veterinary field began when I was six, when I arbitrarily announced I was going to be a veterinarian simply because I loved animals. 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.…

    Attending UACCB has benefitted me because it has allowed me to obtain my associates degree in one to two semesters of being out of high school. Being allowed to take these classes while in high school has given me the option to start my career earlier than most kids my age. I have taken 15 college classes, and while I have struggled at times to keep up with having high school and college classes, I have gained so much respect for myself because I have been able to see what I can handle. I have conditioned myself to taking three high school classes with sixteen to seventeen college hours. My college classes have boosted my GPA.…

    Nearly 15 years ago, I was in the first grade being asked to draw the person I imagined myself to be when I grew up. My picture portrayed me and several different types of animals at a veterinary clinic with the explanation stating, “When I grow up, I want to be a vet because I want to help animals.” I grew up an only-child and was devoted to all types of animals as if they were part of my family. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a vet. As a child, I would pretend to do surgery by stitching together holes in my stuffed animals.…

Everything in life is a challenge and it is scary as well, but for those who want to study it all starts of with college.
