...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’ve always had an interest in listening to people and their problems. This career closely...

...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...

My first choice of career would be dentistry because my mom and dad are already dentists they make a really good amount...

...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...

...choice. I was adamant that I was going to become a veterinarian and take care of animals. It took going through some of the worst years of my life to see that nursing was a viable career choice for me. Both of my husband’s parents were diagnosed with cancer within a 3 month span. Soon after his father was in hospice care and I assumed most of his personal care. I took him to dialysis appointments and to his paracentesis twice weekly; he also had chemotherapy and radiation. In the end when he stayed at home on hospice I dispensed most of his medications and took care of many of his needs. During all of this I was very impressed with the caring and compassion we all received from the hospice nurses who came into our home throughout the weeks. After he passed away is when I first had thoughts of nursing but I soon went back to school and continued on my previous course of action. Soon after my mother-in-law’s cancer was diagnosed as terminal and she too was placed in hospice care. My husband and I then assumed care for her. It was then that I truly decided that I wanted to be a nurse. As I cared for her as she was dying and saw how I could bring comfort to her even in her last days I knew this was something I could do for others. So why do I want to be a nurse? I want to be able to bring comfort to those who are in pain or discomfort. Those who are hospitalized are there because they are sick and need to be healed. The need someone to bring them comfort and compassion. I would like...

...Maybe I am a little like Sekai-ichi’s main character, Takano Masumune. Everyone I dated made me a little cold in the heart. The more they got serious about me, the more I became cold to them. Also, we both like cats. We both are near-sighted. We both love to read. (But I’m not an editor-in-chief like he is.) And we both are still in love with someone after high school. Okay. Maybe I am a lot like Takano. But just not only in personality. I lay on the couch with my cat lying on my stomach and was purring away. I was petting her gently as possible while I was reading the Sekai-ichi Hatuskoi manga. This volume was back on Ritsu’s point of view. The last one was on Takano’s. He was explaining everything that happens between him and Ritsu. He was really mean to Ritsu then, but I like it how he slowly began to fall for Ritsu’s loving smile. Or was it just him in general? I closed the book and remember the page I was on. It’s been so long since I read the series. I took off my glasses and pinch the bridge of my nose then rubbing my eyes. I have been working my ass off since I graduated from the Early College High School to become an E4 in the Air Force. I was seventeen years old when I enlisted, but I really couldn’t do anything while I was still in high school working on college courses. But I did work on getting at least a 4.0 in my GPA or whatever it was I needed. I was nineteen years old when I graduated from my fifth year in high school and it was the last time I saw any...

...When it comes to understanding animals and the diseases they have, contract, and carry there is no limits. From dogs and cats to livestock and exotics it is necessary to learn and understand diseases from metabolic to degenerative or idiopathic, Neoplastic diseases and Toxic poisonings, Congenital and Genetic diseases to Immune related diseases, and Infectious and Contagious diseases to Parasitic Infections. There is a world that one can get lost in when it comes to learning about theses things. Some diseases have been around for years while others are still being studied with new ones occurring today in the modern world. Along with these diseases it is important to study and understand what causes them, what signs to look for, what species to look for them in, how to treat them, and how to prevent them from happening, IF you can even prevent them. Some diseases and conditions have vaccines to help with prevention and some do not, while some diseases are zoonotic meaning that they can be transmitted from animal to human. While there are hundreds upon hundreds of diseases to be looked at, the ten researched below are the ones once prevalent among the veterinary technicians job in the clinic; Hip Dysplasia and Ethylene Glycol poisoning in dogs, Hyperthyroidism and Rabies in cats, Strangles and Equine Recurrent Uveitits in Horses, Cryptosporidium and Fasciola Hepatica in Ruminants and Swine, Idiopathic Epilepsy in Aviaries, and Lymphoma in Ferrets.
