I have added and/or rearranged a few things. I think overall it is good. I don't know if your essay has to be in a range of '1-4 pages' for example or '1000 words'. I find it is good to let yourself go. Really express the passion you have from your 'calling'. Make them feel it. Good luck, I hope you do well & get excepted to DVC.
Oh BTW...the changes/ corrections etc are in red. As if you couldn't figure that out on your own. hehehehe I'm a genius sometimes.
When you were a child, did you ever imagine what it would be like to have your dream job? I have. Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to work with horses. When I was six years old, my father took me horseback riding for the first time while we were vacationing in the Pocono Mountains. Then & there, I instantly fell in love with horses and realized I wanted to work with them when I grew up. Now, eleven years later, I still have the same dream. I currently volunteer at Pegasus Riding Academy, which is a therapeutic horseback riding program for people with physical and mental disabilities. Even though I love my job now, I want to do more. I want to major in equine science and management to become an equine veterinarian. I think Delaware Valley College will help me accomplish this because of the hands-on experience offered and the small class sizes.
Last Sunday, I attended the open house at Delaware Valley College. One of the most significant things that stood out to me was how much I will get to work with the animals. In other schools, you have to wait until junior year to even touch an animal, but at DVC you get to do this as a freshman. This early hands-on teaching will be excellent for me. Not only will it help me receive a better education, but it will benefit me in my future. I will know how to handle the horses and all the other requirements needed for an equine veterinarian. I will also get many years of practice, which will make me proactive in my career.
Another aspect of Delaware Valley College that I like is the small class size and the small student body. I am the kind of person who is very uncomfortable in large groups of people. (I am the type of person who excels in an intimate setting, small classes, which means more one on one time. This is a very attractive aspect to me personally.) Being in a small class, I can & will keep better focus and actively participate more. Also, I will be able to build a good educator/student relationship with my professor. Doing this, I will be comfortable with asking any questions I have during or after class. Coming from a small high school, I believe the transition to a small college will be most agreeable & won’t be as frightening an experience as if I went to a larger college.
Becoming an equine veterinarian has been my goal for almost my entire life. I have always loved horses, so getting the chance to work with them everyday and help them live a longer, happier & better quality of life is very important to me. Because of the hands-on experiences and the small class sizes, I believe Delaware Valley College will help me achieve my dream & accomplish my goal and carry me far in my future.
