Why I`m here?





I’m studying veterinary medicine because is a longing that had since when I was six years old. During those years I was a female dog called “Reina”, a beautiful Gordon Setter and I remember when ill took her to a veterinarian friend of my dad and recovered from his stomach pain and he applied her vaccine as per Schedule. Since that time I was fascinated with everything that made the vet, I thought "he's watching the dogs all day and I too want to do that" and I’m here. Although over the years I've noticed that the work of the veterinary surgeon goes far beyond the animal health and he is a professional who can assure us that everything we eat is clean and free of disease, besides contributing to the conservation of endangered species or a facet of that not everyone knows: the veterinarian can also conduct manufacturing processes such as the raising of livestock and then transform it into food for the rest of humanity. One main tools, I believe, for good works of a veterinarian, is the access to technology and information like internet because a veterinarian must be constantly updated to be the best, especially with the explosive number of veterinarians graduating every year at least here in Chile. Now I'm in fifth year I can say that my favorite subjects in all the career were: Animal Pathology, Animal Nutrition and Feeding, Avian Production, Reproduction and Artificial Insemination and finally Gynecology and Obstetrics.
And for to finish I would say that my time in this career has been very difficult, I've laughed and cried at once and as I've talked to several people who have told me that the veterinary surgeon is very difficult because we must learn the operation and diseases animals that are very different. Despite this, I like study veterinary medicine because it gives a pleasant working environment, free with animals and also has a lot of work in field. I do not like to be locked up all day in an office but I would not be all day outside of a place and this career can do both, and although sometimes I regret having come to study this so difficult that I found it all, honestly I am not doing something else.
