Since I was a little girl I remember having affection for animals. I always had pets, like cats, dogs and rabbits. And I always had affection for many animal species. At school I decided to study Veterinary Medicine, about twelve or thirteen years old, thinking of becoming a future "Animal Doctor". At the beggining I just liked dogs and cats, but as I was reading and researching animal life, and knowing more species, at this time it is rare that some specie doesn't like to me. Going to university, I opened my mind about how important is a veterinarian in society, because not only contributes to animal health, but also human health, controlling diseases that can be transmited from animals to human, called zoonotic diseases. Besides being involved in the area of foods, improving animal welfare and cares for good production of healthy and good quiality foods. One main tools, I believe, for good works of a veterinarian, is the acces to technology, that can updated on new medical tools, to encourage clinical work and medical aid to this area.
I'm on Second Year, and at this time, my favourite subject is "Animal Behavior", in fact I would like to spend time in my working life as related to behavioral psycology. Although I also like the clinical area, I love so much the exotic animals, wildlife, learn about another species that aren't domestic pets. So I would like study and practice, in some foreing country, exotic animals too.
In my opinion, the main thing it should have a veterinarian,along with a good knowledge, some technological tools, is
the vocation and to love the animals, improving their quality
of life, encouraging the responsible ownership of pets
by people and to decrease unconsciousness and lack of love
for the most special specie that exist: the animals.
