Why do I want to be a vet?

My dreamed job when I was a kid, was always being a veterinarian. I grown up surrounded with dogs and cats and I always saw them as something that should be loved and taken care of.
Over the years I was changing of idea, then I wanted to be a dentist and then I liked the idea of become a doctor, but was all about the money.

The last year I was so confused about what to study, but at the end of November when I finally realized that the money isn't everything, I choose my dreamed job of when I was a kid, and this decision was the best decision ever.

I decided to become a veterinarian because I think that in Chile we are very under develop country about the care of animals and I want to make a difference, and try to change step by step this problems.

My experience at the university has been good, I'm very happy with being here studying something that I like, the people is very nice and I already love the friends I made here :).

I'm not sure of what kind of job I want but the idea of working with animals makes me already happy.

A photograph I like ♥.

I remember my dad is who took this photo. It was a summer where my aunt and cousin from Concepción visited us, they barely knew the beach so we took them to "Puerto Viejo" located to one hour trip in car from Copiapó, it’s kinda ugly but the beach is really great.
I remember when my father sayed "Why we don't bring Bongo with us?" I was so so so happy, it was going to be Bongo first trip to the beach.
In the photo you can see Bongo resting and enjoying the fresh air of the beach after he ran, swam and tried to drink all the water of the sea (obviously we don’t let him). 
I really love this photo because you can see him so happy almost smiling. I enjoy remembering that day and remembering him like that, young, happy and giving all the love he could.

I choose pigs so I choose this website because is very entertaining, interative and all the information necesary for had a good management and knowledge about pigs is there. I know is for kids but I think that works for all kind of age and National Geografic is a reliable source.
