    What exactly does being a veterinary technician entail? Think of a nurse, but rather than assisting a doctor and helping human patients, they assist veterinarians and tend to animals. That being said, a veterinary technician must enjoy being around animals and have a desire to help those in need. A veterinary technician will usually perform clinical work, such as blood tests, urinalysis, they can expose and develop x-rays, assist in a variety of diagnostic tests and more while under supervision of a licensed veterinarian. The typical patients helped by a veterinary technician are cats and dogs, but in reality, a veterinary technician can tend to any type of animal. According to VeterinaryTechnican.com, many veterinary technicians work in a clinical setting such as an animal hospital or private veterinarian’s office. Additionally, many of them work in zoos, aquariums, and research facilities (2012). A veterinary technician can also become a specialist with additional schooling to perform procedures such as anesthesia, surgery, dental work, behavioral training and more. The Bureau of Labor Statistics claims that while many veterinary technicians find…

    Volunteering has been one of the biggest joys in my life. I have enjoyed working on the Emerald Coast Mud Run, helping to collect food for Caring and Sharing, helping my mother work on the band uniforms for Niceville High School and C.W. Ruckel Middle School. I look forward to helping others in my family, community, church and school. Whether helping a young mother watch her children so that she is able to go grocery shopping by herself or helping my sister work on her singing.

    I have handled and cared for a variety of animals there including African and Red Footed Tortoises, Great Horned , Eastern Screeched and Barred Owls, an Emu, a Red Tailed Hawk, Lemurs, Goats and Fox Squirrels just to name a few. From there I started shadowing Dr. G, a local veterinarian, where I was exposed to the true realities that come with the duties of being a veterinarian. I will always remember the first time that Dr. G invited me to observe an euthanasia of a dog. Dr. G not only showed compassion toward this dog that he cared for since he was a puppy, but also to the client’s young child that was having trouble coping with the imminent death of his beloved dog. After shadowing for several months, Dr. G recognized my enthusiasm for animals and offered me a part-time paid position as a Kennel/Technician Assistant where I was able to participate in hands on animal care.…

    I decided to start volunteering at the local humane society because I’ve always been really passionate about animals and wanted to start benefiting them in the community. Prior to my service I was delighted because I’ve wanted to start volunteering for years and was glad the opportunity had presented itself. Throughout my experience I learned a great deal and met a lot of new people. Even though I’ve only just started serving my time at the Fox Valley Humane Association I can truly see the difference it has made in the community.…

    I have had the opportunity to volunteer for the last several weeks. I had never really volunteered before, so I knew that this was my opportunity to do some community service to help others. I have found through the experience that I really like to volunteer, so in the near future I will probably volunteer on my own, rather than doing it for a class. Doing service projects is a great way to get involved with the community. There are always people and businesses looking for help, and it is usually easy to find a way to help. When I had to do volunteer services for psychology, I was excited because I had never really volunteered for a long period of time. It was very interesting, because it actually made me feel like a better person for helping someone in the community. I volunteered at the Manchester Church of the Brethren Preschool. I chose that place, because I am an education major, and I thought that it would help me be able to work with children. I love working with children every chance that I can. While I was volunteering/observing, I learned many things that involved psychology. Psychology obviously relates to human’s, so it was neat to put it into a different perspective, because I got to look at 4 and 5 year olds, to see how the subjects that we were recently discussing in class, pertained to them particularly. Children learn very quickly, at a young age so I had a great opportunity to see that first hand. It was neat to relate all of the things I learned in class, to the actual students I was observing.…

    When I first came to this agency, I encounter many difficulties but those terrible things did not affect my mood to interview. I had an interview on Wednesday who know that there was very terrible weather on my interview day. This weather made me feel lost and sad, in the beginning I was overwhelmed. At home I spent the time to search the Carefirst history and the bus route information. When I drop off the bus, I was lost. I walked around on the street in this rain storm; therefore, my clothes totally get wet. When I walked to find Carefirst, I observed that there a Sliver Star Medical Centre and the other senior services which call Tee Hong Centre located nearby the Carefirst. Lucky, I arrived at the interview on time and when I arrived at the agency there are two seniors who both greeted me with a smile on their faces. It made me feel full of courage and joyful that put those unhappy things forget.…

    Today we take in all sorts of animals, and take care of them until they can be released back into the wild or we find a good home for them. My future with animals does not only exist at home, my junior year of high school I had to do an apprenticeship for my animal science class as part of FFA. My love and knowledge of animals caused me to make the decision of apprenticing at a veterinary clinic, where I would soon learn just how deep my urge to help and love animals goes. After my week of apprenticing there was over, I realized what I wanted to do with my life, I wanted to become a veterinary technician. Now, I volunteer at Walker Street Veterinary Clinic Monday through Thursday at 3:30pm to 5:30pm. I do this to not only prepare myself for my future in college and in the workforce, but also because of my passion for…

    One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. However, volunteering is a two-way street, and it can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.…
