Zoology Personal Statement
I have always wanted to work with animals for a career. I read a book called “Born Free” by Joy Adamson. This book is about a family who took care of a lion since it was a cub and how they released the lion back into the wild when it was ready to fend for itself. Then, a few years later the family went back and visited where they released the lion, the lion actually noticed them and came to see them. Throughout this book, you could say that the lion, the family, and the reader were all rescued. Lions have been my favorite animal since as long as I can remember.

Zoology is the research/study of animals. Many people think zoology is just someone who works in a zoo but it’s not. Zoology is actually a lot more than that. The opportunity to be able to work in a zoo would be a fun and a good experience. I would get the chance to interact with the animals close up, you’d be able to share knowledge on the animals but that's not my main goal. My goal is to work with animals in their natural habitats. I have always wanted to travel the world and research animals in their own space. This scholarship will be able to help me accomplish my goal of becoming a zoologist because it will allow me to travel and conduct research outside of the college atmosphere. If I were to travel for one of my classes, this scholarship would help with those expenses. I have always had a strong love and desire to work with animals ever since I was little. In my life, my family has had a variety of different animals that we have cared for, so I have had some experience with handling animals like livestock. Obviously, those aren’t jungle animals or anything, but it has given me a sense of responsibility for animals of all sorts. To somewhat prepare for zoology, I have based my classes on my field of study. I plan on going to further my education at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville to major in zoology. I not only have a passion to take care of the animals but also to study their anatomy and behavior. This scholarship could put me
