Only the Beginning by Danielle - March 2025 Scholarship Essay

Education is what drives people to strengthen their understanding and knowledge of certain topics in order to prepare themselves for the future. It is a gift that can be used for so long in order to satisfy the comprehension you need for a specific field that you wish to achieve when you are older. In the next 10 years, I see myself finishing my education towards a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine degree and being achieve the job of my dreams as a veterinarian with a rich understanding of animals thanks to my several years of studying.

In the future, I wish to be a veterinarian doctor because of my passion of working with animals. It has been a passion of mine because I have always been fascinated by different animals and how to understand what is hurting an animal or killing off their species. I hope to be able to protect animals while in the process helping people as well feeling better that their animal can heal. To me, it is a bonus that I am able to interact with animals as I am caring for them and treating their conditions.

Not only am I taking care of animals when diagnosing their illnesses, I am also protecting the health and wellbeing of human beings through my medical care. Learning will allow me to continue research into how my diagnosis can prevent an animals health from affecting a person. I wish to use the next years of my life to use education as a resource for studying various sciences to study both animals and how their illnesses can be infectious.

I wish to be able to find the root of the problem and work with several animals but I understand that is a competitive career with several years of needed education. It takes around 7 to 9 years in order to achieve my dream. I understand that for the next 10 years of my life, I have to study vigorously and persevere so that I am able to title myself as a veterinarian. Some would see this as excessive and absurd, but spending that much of my life studying knowing that I am able to help lifeforms which cannot communicate feel heard through my effort of caring for them. Being able to know that all this studying will pay off to have a better understanding of the veterinarian field and attain my Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine degree.

Being able to spend the next 8 or 9 years of my life studying to prepare myself for the job of my dreams would never feel treacherous but rather would feel rewarding. I am using my gift of education to exceed my knowledge of animals and understand how to diagnose animals in need of my medical attention and prevent their possible illnesses from spreading to other lifeforms on Earth.
