Why I want to be a Vet

So the Vet School Application officially opens on June 4th, which isn't far away. And I'm taking my GRE on June 27th, which also isn't far away. As the stress of finals has come, I started thinking into the future. With the main question being "Am I good enough?" Are my grades high enough, do I have enough experience, will I get passed that first step... Will I get accepted?

I also realized that it's time to start thinking about my personal statement. In thinking about that, I've asked myself why I want to be a Vet. The answer has always been simple. I remember April of 2005. That's when I realized why I was put on this Earth and from that month forward, my life has been surrounded around this goal. April 2005 was very simply the day that my dog's liver exploded. Not what you expected? Me neither.

There was a 10% chance of him living. I remember my dad answered the phone when the surgeon called and he immediately started crying. Before telling me, I knew what had happened. He was gone. But when my dad came into the room to tell me that he was in recovery, I was not only shocked but more thankful than ever.

Why do I want to be a vet?
I know that without a doubt I was placed on this earth to make a difference in the world through animals. My reason for living and breathing is to make that difference. I'm going to be the best vet to graduate from Michigan State's Vet School. Students in Vet School one hundred years from now will be writing my name on the blackboard and looking up to me. I know that without a doubt God placed me on this Earth to do this and only this. I have a connection with animals that far surpassed anyone's I have ever met. I want to be that person that gets to call people, with the amazing news that their dog, which was expected to die, lived because of me and only me.

People become vets because they like animals. Because the field is in demand. Because they get a Dr. in front of their name. I'm becoming a vet because in every cell of my body and in the deep aspects of my soul, I know one hundred percent that this is my purpose. I'm sitting here, just waiting for the future to hit so I can be the person I'm meant to be.

I'm going to be the best vet to ever live. I just have to get into vet school first.
