Hey Everyone,
I'm not sure why I randomly visited my blog today, but I thought I should write something to wrap things up on the "applying to vet school" part of my life.
I didn't get in this year. That is not to say I couldn't try again next year or that I wouldn't have been or could be a good vet. However, at least for now, this is the end of the road for me vet school wise. There are many reasons but the biggest one is that my heart is not in it. I gave it a good push, and I'm proud to say I tried so hard, because that last few years of school were probably the hardest of my life so far. Moving forward, I see a family in my near future, and I know there is always time...but for me, it's just not important enough to spend the next at least 5 years of my life pursuing more school.
It is SO important to me to spend my life with animals. Caring for them, improving their lives, just hanging out... and in that regard I'm positive I can fulfill that passion. I am so much more than my profession: I am a guardian, a foster parent, a volunteer, a role model, a leader in the community and a trainer. And I'm pretty proud of that. It is disappointing that I will probably never have the expertise that vet's do, and the knowledge on how to help and be a legitimate expert that people would respect and seek out but it's alright. I can live with that.
As far as a profession. I think I've finally figured out my plan B. And it's interior design. ;) So to all you pre-vets out their who may be reading this? I'll make you a deal - I'll bring Ragamuffin in to see you but you come see me when you are in need of a renovation!
Jammy :)
