Kiana's Story

My passion is veterinarian.

. This became me passion when I became about ten years old. I realized that I just wanted to be involved with helping and interacting with animals. In order to be a veterinarian, I had to know a lot about specific sciences such as chemistry for medicine to treat them and biology so I can work hands on with animals and learn how to from positive relationships with them. I’ve always kind of lived in a neighborhood where you see stray cats walking around in the cold without a home, always really ill and that was heartbreaking to me .So along with helping take care of them I want to help them get off the street and find a caring environment. Since I have always been interested in science, it seems like something that would also be easy for me, even though I know it’s not always going to be interesting I know that I will be committed to it because it’s my passion .It is what speaks to me the most. I am Intrigued to know the function of the four stomachs of a cow or why cats purr of the defense mechanisms of a sea horse. My curiosity for scientific knowledge and my compassion and thoughtfulness of animals is what pushes me to work towards my dream.

This program allows me to discover more about ecology. This also allows me to discover while physically diving into the work going out and sampling animals and plants and collecting quantitative and qualitative data. By building these skills this will assist with my observation skills as well as my communication skills being able to work with others in my group. I am able to discover more about wildlife by actually being with them and learn by myself with some assistance how certain things work. This will also prepare me for my senior year in environmental science and other science.
