Reflection:

No I wouldn’t want to be a veterinarian because animals are hard to help out sometimes. I do love animals, I just don’t see this as my career. In all honesty, I look up to these heroes because veterinarians are often overlooked. Animals are given a second chance to live sometimes because of a veterinarian. A veterinarian saved my dog’s life, when she was ran over four years ago. I admire these people, but I wouldn’t want to become one.
