Veterinarian

are, who you want to be, and what you want to do. When you’re young you have far-fetched dreams of becoming a ballerina or an astronaut, but eventually we mature and settle for something much more realistic.

However, all of those dreams and achievements soon became irrelevant with a single doctor’s appointment. My…

hunt to continue. To begin with, seals are killed in exceedingly cruel ways. Seal pups that are just over a month old are stabbed and killed with hooks and dragged across the ice to leave a trail of blood. According to a study in 2001, a team of veterinarians determined that in over 40 % of the cases they studied, the seals were most likely skinned alive. Such inhumane acts are unacceptable and should not be allowed to be repeated. Furthermore, the hunt is disadvantageous, with very little…

Going to college and becoming a veterinarian has been my goal for as long as I can remember; as a child I set goals to expand my knowledge so as to be able to create more opportunities for both the animal science world and myself. I believe that having an open mind and applying for a scholarship chance in your institution will expose me to greater opportunities and help me be able to advance further in my life in all aspects; economic, socially and career-wise. I have always thought of College…

In the 1890’s, the location that was soon to become City Park was undesired because of its high grass, mud, puddles, and roaming wild animals. Wanting to make the park part of the community, in 1893 a group of women formed the Park Improvement Association. One of their projects was the William’s Park Bandstand which…

I still remember the fresh and clear day when Riley first came into our family. He was sprinting around the border of his new backyard and dashed into each room of his new home as he hunted for treats and toys to play with. But I also remember his last day before he passed away. He finished his final moments by walking around the border of his backyard, reflecting upon the joys and obstacles he faced through his life, and made his way through the house to each room, looking back upon the…
