Essay / Veterinarian Personal Statement - 714
The hours are long and the work is very stressful. The job requires complex responsibilities and decision-making. The needs of the pet and those of the owner do not always overlap perfectly, and decisions regarding treatment must be made to best balance the needs of both. In this way, veterinarians act as guardians of human and animal welfare. My passion is to play an active role in improving the lives of my animal patients and their human owners. By doing this, I believe I will be able to realize my desire to help animals, born from the devastation I experienced in Japan. I have not yet narrowed my interest to a specific area of ​​veterinary medicine. I want to remain open to exploring the wide range of medical practices I will be exposed to in veterinary school and eventually being able to use them to impact the quality of life of humans and animals. My high academic achievements, my understanding of the profession, my personal experiences and my desire to have an impact on the quality of life of humans and animals are all qualities that make me an excellent candidate for the position of veterinarian.
