Veterinary Medicine
Truthfully I believe the single greatest asset I bring to the veterinary medical field is my enthusiasm for learning and desire to see all animals cared for in a holistic and safe manner. Though I do not have a great deal of experience working directly in the field, I do have a great many life experiences I believe will contribute to the profession. I believe some of the most critical attributes a student of veterinary medicine should have include an open mind, warm spirit, and a good sense of humor.
During the course of my life, I have interacted with a variety of different people from many countries, cultures and backgrounds. While making new friends and discovering new worlds, I have had the opportunity to view how different perspectives and traditions impact mans attitudes toward medicine and medical care.
One of the most distinct things I have learned is that different cultures view animals in many different ways. I have always been in awe of individuals who honor animals as companions and kindred creatures. I have learned through the tales of others, and through my own experiences with childhood pets, that animals are not only companions, but also fascinating beings with unique personalities and needs. I feel that having had many animals throughout my childhood, I have personally developed into a warmer and more open-minded individual. When you come across an animal that is sick, has been injured or has suffered cruelty or abuse at the hands of another, you are slapped in the face with the reality that sometimes life is unfair. Animals in my mind are the truest embodiment of innocence. They neither intentionally can hurt nor maim, yet suffer sometimes these very cruelties at the hands of some owners.
I have volunteered at many shelters in an effort to expand my knowledge base regarding animal anatomy and behavior. It is my hope that by starting a career in veterinary medicine, I can reach out to the community and help people better understand their pets and animal neighbors. Animals live by instinct, yet still need to be nurtured, loved and cared for. They get sick much as people do. They seek out companionship and attention. They, like a newborn infant, are sometimes misunderstood. I believe my sensitivity to these unique animal traits make me an ideal candidate for the veterinary profession.

Natural Health Practices in Veterinary Medicine Natural health practices include all health interventions that choose non-medical alternatives such as nutrition, vitamins, herbs, acupuncture, and homeopathy. The basic premise of natural health practices in both animals and humans is that illness is the body's need to dispose of unhealthy cells that are negatively influencing at least one biological system (Goldstein, 1999). Many of the interventions used are quite similar to those used
