"I have chosen to become a veterinarian because of the broad impact I can make on animals, their owners, and my community. As a veterinarian, I can impact others through education and awareness. I say this because a veterinarian can positively impact how animals are treated, including how many animals end up in local shelters. We can be a critical stopping point in animal neglect and abuse. As a veterinarian, I will improve the profession by bringing a whole-health mindset to my clients for the betterment of their pets."

Discuss with passion and enthusiasm how you plan to improve the veterinary profession and use your skills for the greater good.
