VETERINARY MEDICINE AND ANIMALS   700w

Imagine a career where you can contribute to the well-being of the creatures on this planet that can’t help themselves; a career where the work is rewarding and where you get to work with animals. That’s the career I have: I’m a veterinarian. I decided to become a veterinarian because I grew up on a farm where I loved taking care of animals. I’ve always had pets and helping them I knew, was my passion. The experience I remember the most was a time when one of our horses on the farm hurt his foot, I helped him and wrapped his foot, the feeling I got because I helped an animal felt amazing. I knew then that being a vet was my goal in life. When you are a veterinarian you see a lot of different problems that affect animals. Animals need to be examined for checkups to make sure that they are doing well. Also another thing is that animals need to get vaccinated to keep them from scary diseases. It is also very important for you to treat sick animals with medicine and surgery if they need it. Veterinarians get to help animals who really can’t verbally say “Help me!!” I mean wouldn’t it be awesome if they could? However, Animals can communicate with looks, thumping their tails, purring, growling also communicating with their owners. It is amazing how communication between them and I doesn’t have to be verbal words; in one case where I was helping a dog that broke his bone and at the end of the treatment I could of sworn I saw him say “Thank you” to me in his own friendly way , it was such a great feeling. Veterinarians enjoy working with animals and are driven by their love for them. It is a rewarding career in many ways. The requirements for this career are in most cases four years of college and four years of veterinary school.
