A degree in veterinary medicine will allow me to pursue my future goals as a veterinary. This will allow me to help 4-H livestock shows be a continuing success for children. Livestock showmanship in 4-H has been a huge part of my life since the age of nine. Through 4-H programs such as livestock shows, horse competitions, and veterinary medicine camps children often learn valuable skills in veterinary medicine, leadership, problem-solving, and communication. Veterinarians are extensively involved in teaching children how to care for their animals and preparation for the show ring.
