Literal: What I learned about the history of veterinary medicine and how it has been a great help to our animals.

Interpretive: Apply how veterinarians have helped me in my life and also apply how it has assisted my peers with their animals.

Applied: The end goal of my project is to learn how to become a successful veterinarian. There are many components that go into making a veterinarian successful and maybe my peers might want to become a vet after they realize it can be one of their interests.

Interview Prep 1

Who do you plan to interview?



-I plan to interview professional experts who are educated on what they're talking about. For example, veterinarians, dog trainers, animal shelter workers who work with animals on a daily basis.



Why?



-I feel it is an obvious necessity to interview a veterinarian because they are the most educated I think as far as my topic goes. They earned a degree based solely on my topic and they know what they're talking about or at least I hope they do. I’m not sure what I want to talk about for my senior project, so, by me interviewing an animal trainer, who is an expert on animal behavior, I might get a feel for this certain subject to see whether I like it or not. I know workers from the animal shelter are not the best experts in town; however, they see how animals react when they first enter the dog shelter. Especially, the animal shelter by my house that has all types of animals could definitely benefit me.



You’ve been assigned five questions, what more do you plan to ask?



-How long were you in university and college before you were able to become an official veterinarian?

-In your opinion, was it difficult to get into a veterinary medicine school?

-What major obstacles if any, as far as animals, have you encountered until now?

-What were major qualities you needed to become a veterinarian and survive through the many years of schooling?

Topic Choice

What is your topic?
-Veterinary Medicine.

Why did you choose this topic?
-My ultimate career in life is to become a vet. I have owned and been around animals my entire life. I love animals and I know what its like to interact with them on a daily basis. Currently, I'm in 4-H so I know I'll have ways to complete my service learning through this program which will open more opportunities for me in the veterinarian field and give me the chance to work with vets.

What do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
-Being a veterinarian has always been my dream; however, say after six months I realize I'm tired of it. I don't want to go through an expensive university and realize after all the money I’ve spent that this career isn't for me. I hope that spending an entire year on this topic will give me a better perspective of what it’s like to be a veterinarian. Then, I can really decide if this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Plus, it will look good on my university resume if I decide this is the right career for me.
