Summary
Why I want to be a Veterinarian.
Me!
Hello my full name is Alexandra but I prefer Alex. I’m majoring in Science, the plan is to go the Hunter after BMCC to major in pre-vet, then to another undecided college ( most likely an ivy wish me luck) to finally get my doctorate in Veterinary Medicine, which right now feels like reaching beyond the stars. My main passion is animals, but I specifically want to make in a change in how accessible animal care is for low-income communities. I foster animals, and this one kitten that I picked off a mama kitty that I’ve been taking care of (and been trying to steal with no success) was the cat for ME, I’ve been watching mama throughout the pregnancy and was worried she wouldn’t carry to term or something would go wrong during birth. Inky ( short for stinky ) is born and seemingly well. I take her upstairs, around 2 days later shes in the vet for an eye infection and check up, 5 days later she passed. The initial check-up drained my pockets coming out to 700 dollars. I couldn’t get her to the animal ER in time, majority of them being the Manhattan while I’m in the Bronx. If Inky had more resources to low cost animal care and if animal ER’s existed outside of gentrified communities, maybe inky would’ve lived. I still take in cats and currently I have a 2 year old kitty named genie who I’m fostering and is looking for a home . Animal care takes up a lot of my time but when everyone is taken care of I like to read, mostly non-fiction, horrors and memoirs.
