My major is going to be a science
Veterinarian because I want to help hurt
animals and check their body system if it
good. Why do I want to be a veterinarian?
Well… I like animals a lot and I want to
take care of them like a family member.
 I will try my hardest in every class since I
need strong skills to make it into vet
school. I have to Take as many science,
math, and biology courses. I will Volunteer
or intern at a local animal shelter, vet's
office, clinic, zoo, stable, farm, or research
lab. Get as much hands-on experience
with animals as possible.

I want to go to UBC because it’s a good
university. And it could help me to be a
veterinary
My second reason is that I they have a lot
of classes and you can learn a lot in
class. And this university has a lot of
sports.
They have a lot of sports that you can
participate in any kind of sports. And
majors that you can participate in.
I can try my best in class so I can study
more about my dream job I wanted to
be.
And after I graduate I can study more on
my dream job as a veterinary.
