...the veterinarian. Vets are well-versed in the science of animal health, and they promote public health by identifying and preventing diseases, which some can be passed to humans as well. The variety of animals that a veterinarian will treat, and the animal’s inability to communicate symptoms, make the veterinarian profession more challenging than the practice of human medicine. “If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans” (Herriot, 233). Animals love with no...

...research paper will discuss how interest and environment influenced my career decisions throughout the years. Become a Magician, Veterinarian, Psychologist and Accountant are some of various my career selections in the past 18 years. My early childhood career selection was to become a Magician. Why would I want to become a Magician? Because I read a book called “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and I was attracted by those fancy events. In the book, Mr. Wonka has the biggest candy factory in the world, and he can turn impossible things into possible situations. I always thought it would be great if I can have the same ability as him. My career decisions became more realistic while in Middle School and the High School. When I was in Middle School, I wanted to become a Veterinarian after I got my first puppy. I love dogs, and I want to make Veterinarian profession my future career. I found some information about Veterinarians in “Wiki Answers”, which indicates that “Veterinarian are required to study a Biology related major and must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from a 6 year program at an accredited college (http://wiki.answers.com). After I saw this reference website; I choose to abandon this career choice because Science is not my favor subject. After Middle School, in High School I decided that I want to become a Psychologist.

...I know that choosing a career is a very important decision. So the career I've chosen is a Veterinarian. Ever since i was 5 years old I have all ways loved animals and wanted to help them. I did most of my research on being a Veterinarian. I did this so I can prepare for college. The two most important things that I researched are the job description and benefits. I did research on being a Veterinarian in regards to the job description. Vets are doctors for pets, they treat sick or injured animals and do check ups too. The most common tasks are doing blood tests, examining animals , x-rays, and diagnosing illness. I want to help sick animals and find out what's wrong with them and save their life. When an animal gets sick or old they will euthanize them or put them down so they don't feel any more pain. I know that that wont be pleasant but i know that they don't feel anymore pain no more...

...Ever since I was a little girl I had dreams of becoming a veterinarian. I love animals and was 100% sure that what I wanted to do in life was help them. When I was a child I would pretend that I was a veterinarian and I would make my dog Blue be my patient. I would pretend that my room was a doctor's office and my bed was the table a veterinarian had. I would use my toy stethoscope and "listen" to his lungs and heart. I wrote notes on little papers and pretended to order different tests for him. Every time we had to take Blue to the veterinarians I would always ask my parents several questions of what they were doing to him and why. I wanted to know anything and everything about veterinarians that I could. One day I asked them, "Why does Blue...

...Mrs. Newton English 102 24 April 2007 The Facts of Life One widely spread allegory comes to mind when considering the unrelenting pet overpopulation problem. The tale is the story about a group of friends having a picnic on a riverbank. Suddenly, the group hears the sound of crying and looks up, shocked to see a baby floating helplessly in the river. They immediately dive in to rescue the drowning baby. To their horror, the group notices another baby floating towards them. They rush to save that baby, but no sooner is that baby pulled to safety; they see another baby floating. By this time a vicious cycle has started and soon the river is full of drowning babies. Again and again, the group dives into the river, trying to save the seemingly endless flow of drowning babies. One of the people gets out of the river and begins running upstream. A friend shouts “Where are you going?” “I’m going to find out who is throwing the babies into the river and make them stop!” the heroic man yells back, as he runs upstream. The homeless animal problem is very similar to this fable. Animal shelters and rescue groups try hard to save the homeless animals in the “river”. However, this will never solve the problem. Millions of dogs and cats are killed annually as the result of unwanted, unplanned litters that could have been prevented by spaying and neutering. According to the...

...The Lost Innocents Richard Napper University of Phoenix When an individual makes the complicated decision of adding a four-legged member to their family it should be viewed as a lifelong commitment. The majority of people who decide to take in a new four legged family member usually have the best intentions at the time. However, life happens and things tend to change. The puppy who was once small and adorable is now full grown, becoming ignored, and is chewing for attention. The kitten who was once a cute little ball of fur is now not so little and clawing the furniture and using the potty in paces other than the litter box. Maybe there was a job loss in the family, or the individual has become homeless because of financial mishaps. With foreclosure on the rise these days due to a bad economy this is happening more often than not lately. One must plan for these types of issues that may arise in the near or distant future. There are a lot of individuals who believe that an animal shelter is the answer of all answers. The awful truth is they are mostly overcrowded and under staffed. More animals get euthanized inside the shelter due to lack of space than adopted by potential lifelong owners in the animal shelter. The animal shelter should not be used as a way to ease guilt on the former owners’ conscience. It should not be used as a dump site or a place to put your older animal like you would a senior citizen in a nursing home. Is animal abandonment ethically and morally wrong...

...I am an incoming freshman, so I will definitely need a little assistance to get me started with my education. Without a doubt, college preparation is new to me. So, there is a lot that I will have to learn. If I receive this $1,000 scholarship, it will be of immense help to me. I could use it towards my books for my classes and towards tuition. It would relieve some of the stress knowing I have gratefully been given $1,000 that is not coming out of my parent’s pockets. At a young age, I have always had a passion for animals. All I ever dreamed of was having a puppy to grow up with. By the time I reached high school, I had two English Springer Spaniels named Shayla and Shiloh. When I was younger, my mind was set on going to Auburn University to become a veterinarian because it was the only school I ever heard of. For as long as I could remember, that was all I inspired to be. But, as I got older, I realized I also loved being in the presence of kids. My career goal automatically changed into wanting to become a teacher. I had the desire to want to be an inspiration to the kids in my community and to be a factor for why they are successful in life. It would touch my heart if one of my students ever looked up to me and said “because of you, I didn’t give up”. Those are the moments that I would long for. The greatest gift of all will be watching my students thrive. By the time my sophomore year rolled around, I became more intrigued with kids. So, I decided to go into the Early...
