Artist Statement: “So Dee, what do you want to be when you grow up?” “I want to be a Veterinarian!” As long as I could remember, I’ve always wanted to be a veterinarian and help out animals in dire need. Being a vet is the job that’ll fit me because I love animals, mainly dogs and I want to help them out as much as possible. I’m hoping to get into UC Davis after high school. I heard that it’s a great college to study in Veterinary Medicine. Dogs are what made me want to be a vet. My first dog was a female Pomeranian named Nakia. She was my favorite pet. I wanted to walk her, but I was too young. I would just put the leash on her and walk her around the house.
When I was older, I got another dog. He was a Jack Russell named Niko. Being a Jack Russell, he liked to run around. I was relaxing on my bed, when all of the sudden, I heard this somewhat disordered yelp from outside. I looked to see my dog Niko, limping back to the patio. I dashed out of my room yelling "Niko's hurt!" "Niko's hurt!" No one else heard the yelp, so they were a bit confused about what was going on. I flung the back sliding door open and Niko limped in. As he was limping, I noticed something; he was tracking in blood from his paw. I was worried when I saw that because I didn't realize how serious it was. I got a wet paper towel and clean the blood from his paw. I noticed a cut on the pad of his paw. I was relief to find out that it wasn't a big gash. My mom took him to the vet to get it stitched up. I remembered how no one else heard the yelp. I question myself, what if I didn't hear it either? Who knows how long he would have gone with a bleeding pad? When my mom got back, Niko was tired out. I comfort him till he fell asleep. That whole experience made me want to be a vet even more. I just love to help animals. They're like furry people who can't talk.
From hearing what others said about UC Davis, how it’s a good college to look into since I want to study in Veterinary Medicine. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get in there. 11th grade is what I was mainly looking forward to when I got into high school because it teaches Biology, which is something I need to know to become a vet. Also there will be internship and I've been looking forward to it because I've want to get a head start of what the vet life would be like.
