Well... *Rant/Vent*

[caseysmom]

I didn't mean to sound like I was raining on your dream, just saying you need to finish college no matter what, if one door closes make another one open. Really you need to put in the time in the library, your an intelligent young lady and this is the time in your life to set yourself up for your forever, make the most of it, have no regrets.

I wanted to be a vet since I was 5 years old. I went to school for four years and got a Pre-Vet degree. I decided in my third year that I wasn't going to be a vet - there were many reasons but I too was afraid that my grades wouldn't be good enough for vet school. My first year I failed 2 classes and redeemed myself after that and did well the next 3, but my GPA wasn't as good as I had liked. I ended up doing something completely different, and I'm glad that I did. If it's meant to be it will be, and maybe you're meant to do something else. I would have never thought in a million years that I'd be a funeral director, but now I couldn't see myself doing anything else. I know that I'm meant to be here. Or all hope is not lost, you just need to, like Kater said, do all you can the next few years in school, do as much volunteer work as you can and keep working towards your dream.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

I didn't take it that way, I know you were trying to help . And yes, I know. I know I am smart enough to do this, I just really have to work hard at it.

I didn't know that you had done pre-vet, Ashley. I'm glad things worked out for you and you found out what you were meant to do.

I'm going to see how next semester goes... but I'm trying to keep myself positive that I will do better.

Bri, its never to late to start new. With new motivation you can get your grades up. Anything science wise is going to take a lot of effort but it will be so worth it. I know chemistry is a pain... Organic chemistry you'll be able to relate more to. Biology, however, is very important to know and understand if your going into vet care.

You can do it! I know you can. Just put in the time and effort; know that how much you studied was the best you could do.

Don't give up on your dream. You're way too young for that. You'll regret it if you do. Just keep trying. We know you can do it!

Thanks again, everyone

I think I've decided what I'd like to do with my life if becoming a vet doesn't work out, but then again, I am also going to need a day job with what this plan is .

I think I want to start my own rescue and help people out. I love fostering Duke and then being able to find him a good home, I just wish there was more I could have done for him. There is a rescue that I'm trying to get involved in here in the area, and after seeing what they do, I think I would like to try it in the future.

As for the day job, if vet school doesn't work out, then maybe I can be a vet assistant or something. I'll be qualified to do that after my degree is finished, or I'm sure I can at least find something with animals that I want to do.

But for now, I'm going to work harder and keep trying to be a vet. If I decide that I don't think I can do it, then we'll see wherever else life takes me .
