Part of being accepted into the program at Columbus State is passing the HOBET. The HOBET is the Health Occupations Basic Entrance Test, which is required by most health care degree programs. Entrance into the Veterinary Technician program also requires certain human vaccinations. The expensive and painful Tetanus, Rabies, and Tuberculin Testing are all in my near future! Within the program I will also participate in the Patient Animal Care Teams. Columbus State offers this program to get their students involved in caring for an animal they will be paired with. Time outside of classes will be spent watering, feeding, cleaning up after, walking and training these animals. After semesters of veterinary technician classes full of chemistry, biology, mathematics and VET courses, I will be required to register with the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board, to become a registered Veterinary Technician in the state of Ohio. I then plan to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam, to be recognized in more than forty states. Due to my plans to move to California, even more testing will be involved to ensure that I am a registered Veterinary Technician. To become a registered technician in the state of California, I will be testing to be accepted into the CaRVTA (California Registered Veterinary Technicians…

My name in April Bonilla and I was born on December 20, 1977 which makes me 34 years old. I was born into a single parent family and was raised by my Mother. Aside from myself, my Mother also gave birth to my three younger brothers. Growing up I did my best to help take care of my brothers which also motivated me to get a job at a young age. I began to babysit for my neighbors and family friends so I could contribute money to my family. Watching children was enjoyable and interesting; therefore, I chose to take a child development course while attending High School. Unfortunately, after High School I needed to work full time so I had to put my dream of going to college on hold. Although I had a strong desire to get the credentials to work with children, life took me down a different path.…

Ever since I was in pre-school my career path has always been to be a veterinarian but what kind always left me stumped. After coming to college and having the opportunity to hear from people in many different careers that involve animals I have come to the conclusion to pursue the career of an equine veterinarian. The main points I will be discussing are: what activities it involves, how one gets there, what general opportunities/availabilities exist for my career choice, and why I am attracted to this career path.…
My goal is to simply be happy in my chosen career. I believe my calling is to be a large animal veterinarian. By majoring in animal science, I am bettering myself to prepare for graduate school. Classes like biology, chemistry, and animal nutrition are vital to a DVM (Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine). Although I am still a second-year college student, I feel that I have already had so much experience working with livestock. In my college career so far I have had to take care of a calf, help with birthing of lambs and kids, and gave shots and trimmed hooves on sheep. Veterinary medicine is an animal-oriented profession, and therefore both animal experience and veterinary experience are essential components of the vet school application. After…
