Statement Of Purpose To Become A Veterinarian

I am a senior attending Lenoir City High School. My GPA of 3.607. For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a veterinarian. As a seven-year-old girl, I remember going to a friends house after school. They had many different animals of all sizes. Every day my friend and I would pretend we were veterinarians. We saved lives and set broken bones.

In middle school, I jumped at every
Carson Newman is a Christian school that has a pre veterinary program. I plan to attend Carson Newman for two years then transfer to the University of Tennessee to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian. When I received my acceptance letter from Carson Newman, my family and I were elated. The only obstacle now is paying for it. I am the oldest of five in a family of seven, with a family income of less than forty thousand a year. I would like to be a role model to my younger siblings. I want them to know that working hard in school and staying focused on your goals will pay off. I have received a scholarship from Carson Newman for my academic achievement. I appreciate the amount Carson Newman is able to offer me towards my college career. I have applied for this scholarship in the hopes of reaching my goal to fully pay for my college education. To accept my invitation and become a student at Carson Newman is the first step towards my dream. The second step is finding the funds to pay for it. This scholarship will get me closer to my goal and allow me to continue my journey as a successful young woman. I thank you for taking the time and
