Finally, it was my eighth birthday. The excitement rushing through my body was uncontainable. I was most excited for my eighth birthday because my parents said I could get a dog. I wanted a dog so bad. Ever since I was five I always dreamed of having one. When I woke up on my eighth birthday, I rush straight to my parents asking if we could go shopping for puppies. That 's all I looked forward to the whole day. My mom called a few shelters and we decided to go. One of the things I was looking forward to the most, was training my new puppy. I wanted to train it to be a smart and healthy dog. We visited five different shelters. I was looking for just the right one. At our fifth stop, there was this small and gorgeous Collie. As soon as I saw her, I knew she was the one. While my mom looked around, I couldn 't stop looking at the puppy. Its presence made me feel warm inside. My mom finally asked if I found a dog I wanted.

Without Luna and that memory, I wouldn 't have ever wanted to be a vet. Because of that moment, I chose to do dual enrollment to hopefully help me get accepted into Clemson and to one day help me become the vet I want to
