"When I was younger, I worked on my family farm every summer, and I really enjoyed working with animals and getting a chance to learn about each animal family. One summer, we had a sheep that was in labor, and there was some difficulty. Fortunately, a farm vet came out and assisted. I was amazed by the experience and knew from that day on I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I do enjoy working with family pets more than farm animals because I see them more often and get to know the owners."
