Personal Narrative: A Career As A Veterinarian
Veterinarian, author, lawyer, doctor, and psychologist: these were the occupations I considered pursuing throughout my years. Though the specialities differ, one similarity is evident in all—they all give back to their respective community. Noticeably, my interests would alter throughout the years; I knew that I wanted to care for others, but I did not know how. I knew that I wanted to have an occupation that was interactive, but I did not know which. Granted, as high school was coming to a close more and more relatives became interested or invested in my educational aspirations; for instance, my grandmother was eager to persuade me to become a doctor in order to heal her aching back.

Others help people who cannot move well to manage things like opening doors or turning on lights. Service dogs do very important work for people with disabilities!…

    A cold sweat began to bead at the base of my neck as I urged the muscles in my knee to work their way through the set of squats my physical therapist had asked me to perform. My appointment was scheduled at seven in the morning, but already I could feel the adrenaline rushing up and down my spine as I watched the sun rise over the waking city through the large paneled windows of the gym. Sharp pain shot up the inside of my right knee as I slowly lowered myself, making it difficult to continue the squats. As I pushed the muscles in my knee to lower myself further, I gazed intently at the wall in front of me for inspiration. A quote I had learned to cherish over time as my personal mantra adorned the wall, reading, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." With these powerful words lodged into the back of my mind, I dropped my body into an even lower squat and continued to complete the set with strong determination to get back to soccer, the sport…

    What I have also discovered about myself is that I’m interested, and I mean really interested, in a myriad of things ranging from marketing to kinesiology to dermatology. I think this is because I know I could be happy and fulfilled doing a lot of different things. Throughout my childhood, I have been equally engaged in contrasting activities like learning how to fish on Leech Lake in Minnesota and learning about the harsh realities of the war my dad faced as a child. Although I am knowledgeable about the values my parents and community have instilled in me, I am eager to expand my…
