Career Paper
I have always loved animals and working with them, but I would like to be able to help them when they are sick or injured. Although I love almost every animal, my goal would be to become an Equine Veterinarian. I have grown up loving horses as my mom would say, "When you were little you always wanted to be around horses, and when you couldn't be you were reading about them" (Rogers,D). My interest in becoming a Veterinarian really came full circle when I was asked to care for and bandage my neighbor's horse who had wounded her leg shortly before they planned to go on vacation in Mexico.

I will also be looking for any possible scholarships as college gets closer.

I will also need to start communicating with any Veterinarians and see if I may be able to shadow them for a while to get some more veterinary experience. I would also like to improve my GPA by at least .4 and maintain it at that. I am also hoping to do more Volunteer work over this
