...Project Life For my career I chose to be veterinarian. The reason I am becoming a veterinarian is because I am passionate about animals. Veterinarians, also called doctors of veterinary medicine, study, treat, and control animal injuries and diseases. Immunize healthy animals against disease and inspect animals and meat products to be used as food. Veterinarians also perform surgery, set broken bones, establish diet and exercise routines, and prescribe medicines for animals. “Saving one animal’s may not change the world but it will change the world for one animal.’’ My budget includes: My car payment, car insurance, health insurance, water bill, light bill, phone bill, rent, gas, auto repair, car, and last of all, household products. My surplus is about $33,120.00 a year, so I could buy animals things and donate those items to the animal shelter or donate money to the veterinarian office so they could buy medication and other things. They also need blankets, animal’s food, cleaning supplies so the animal doesn’t get sicker....

...“Where is your dog?” “Are you going to become a vet?” A skilled interrogator even at the age of five, my past self would be peppering me with questions before I had a chance to open my mouth. Back then, all I ever wanted in life was to have a dog, and to be a veterinarian. I still yearn for the former and she would be thrilled about that. However, I would have to explain to her that when I was 10, I saw a dog be bitten, and couldn’t stand the sight of it. That it was then when I realized that I couldn’t bear to see animals in pain, and therefore wouldn’t be able to become a veterinarian. Once she got over the shock of hearing that, she would be pleased that I am still going to end up helping people, as that was her current life goal as well.

...Scholarship Essay Since I was little I had a big imagination. I went from wanting to be a veterinarian to an artist.

I might not have the funds to support my imagination but I will get there. I am going to college no matter what my circumstances are.

...Marketing 331 – Pet Meds Essay Pet Meds, an online pet pharmacy was founded in 1996 when the Internet just started becoming popular. Like many companies they saw an opportunity to keep their overhead low so they could over value to its consumers. Over the years many websites have come and gone with various levels of success. Running an Internet Business is more than throwing up a website and hoping people will come and buy from you. The same marketing disciplines are needed on the internet as in brick and mortar retailers. Plus in some ways successful Internet companies need more marketing savvy and creativity. The distribution plan for Pet Meds is three fold. They sell on the Internet, have a call center where customers can call in, and they also offer their products through direct mail and print. This way they are targeting different types of customers, those that are net literate and shop online, those that still like to talk to someone when taking an order and those they like to look through a printed catalog and read about what they are thinking of buying. This approach appeals to many people, especially the Internet. The Internet is non-threatening without a lot of sales pressure. People can browse and compare at their leisure. One of the nice perks Pet Meds has on its website is a lot of articles so customers can become more informed on a particular disease or condition. This is a great marketing strategy. Pet owners they may be researching a disease could end up on...

...Harvard Business School 9-391-189 rP os t Rev. 10/2/93 Cat Fight in the Pet Food Industry (A) The Product op yo “[Pet foods] is an industry waiting for a breakthrough,” said Peter Bowen, marketing manager of H.J. Heinz's 9 Lives cat food.1 In 1986, virtually all U.S. pet owners purchased commercially-produced food for their dogs and cats. However, by the mid-1980s, the nation's pet population, consisting of about 50 million dogs and 50 million cats in half of the U.S. households, had entered a period of slow growth. As pet food consumption stabilized at around 10 billion pounds per year, the industry's major players realized that sales increases would most likely follow only from larger “share of stomach.” The vast majority of pet food sales were for cats and dogs. In 1986, dog food sales exceeded $3.2 billion, while cat food sales were about $2.1 billion. Within each of these two broad categories, however, there were different types and several flavors of pet food made from many different ingredients including grains, poultry, fish, meat, and animal by-products. No tC The principal types of pet food were (in order of sales) dry, canned, and moist. Dry pet food, the largest dog and second largest cat segment in 1986, had a cereal base that was augmented with animal- or plant-based protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Dry foods had a low moisture content (5% to 15%), and therefore did not contain preservatives. Canned food for ...

...PHILIPPINE LITERATURE Philippine literature is the body of works, both oral and written, that Filipinos, whether native, naturalized, or foreign born, have created about the experience of people living in or relating to Philippine society. It is composed or written in any of the Philippine languages, in Spanish and in English, and in Chinese as well. Philippine literature may be produced in the capital city of Manila and in the different urban centers and rural outposts, even in foreign lands where descendants of Filipino migrants use English or any of the languages of the Philippines to create works that tell about their lives and aspirations. The forms used by Filipino authors may be indigenous or borrowed from other cultures, and these may range from popular pieces addressed to mass audiences to highly sophisticated works intended for the intellectual elite. Having gone through two colonial regimes, the Philippines has manifested the cultural influences of the Spanish and American colonial powers in its literary production. Works may be grouped according to the dominant tradition or traditions operative in them. The first grouping belongs to the ethnic tradition, which comprises oral lore identifiably precolonial in provenance and works that circulate within contemporary communities of tribal Filipinos, or among lowland Filipinos that have maintained their links with the culture of their non-Islamic or non-Christian ancestors. The second grouping consists of works that show...

...this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are...

Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] 2012 Nishant Aishwarya Roll Number - 26 Introduction Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife. Foods, Pets, Traditional Medicine:...
