Importance Of Career In Veterinarian Education

Improved Essays
I quickly read the test. It came across on the stick in two pink lines; I was going to have a baby. I ran to my husband, Justin, and I gave him the news. He was so excited and shocked at the same time; he thought he couldn’t have kids. As I started showing more through the months, I wondered what my life would be like. Was I going to be a stay-at-home mom for the rest of my life? Or was I going to make something out of myself and go to college to support my family? My decision was made: to go to college to build a future and to show my son that I was successful. When he gets older he will follow my path and go to school as well. My goal is to get my associates of applied science degree and transfer to Colorado State University to get my doctorate in veterinarian medicine. To achieve this I will need to load my schedule up on all the important classes each semester, as well as attending class regularly. I will also make sure that I use all the resources that are offered here on campus, even if it means getting a tutor. I have had little experience with college.

I realize if I come to class every day, I will understand what is being taught to me and see things more clearly. I set my school schedule accordingly so I could make it to class and be efficient. By attending class every day I will earn excellent grades and pass my classes. The main reason why I am worried about not passing my classes would be because of my financial aid. If I do not earn a C or above I will have to pay it all back. I will not be able to receive it again in the future unless I make an appeal. Attending class regularly is most important to be successful in my college

    “What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is a question everyone is asked by teachers, parents, and even strangers, from the time they are young and just learning to read. Most kids tend to say they want to become an astronaut or a professional athlete. But for me, I was on the complete other end of the spectrum.

    In most colleges the professors do not take attendance, therefore it doesn’t matter if a day or two of class is skipped. Even though I know that not every day of class is mandatory, I will never miss a day. Work will be much easier for me with my work ethic and determined mindset to never miss a day. I plan on using my determined attitude throughout the rest of my life, mostly to help me get into a great college and to help me become a surgeon. I plan on majoring in neurology; therefore my trait of being determined to have perfect attendance will most certainly become useful.…

I was, however, developing bad habits that did come back to get me as I completed high school and began college. During my senior year of high school, I realized that I needed to apply to college, but regrettably I had no idea about the process or what the cost of college would…
