My name is Sarah and I am sixteen. I'm in Year 10 at the moment (just finished mid-years) and am trying so hard to do well at school, since I want to be a vet, and I don't know about America, but here in Australia only about 260 people get into veterinary science nationwide each year. So I'm gonna have to do the slog to get there

I volunteer at my local RSPCA (with the dogs, initially, but this weekend I start with the cats. Hopefully I'll be transferred back soon...I love the kitties, but the reason I volunteered was for the dogs), and am hopefully getting a job at my local vets after I do my work experience there at the end of this term, in late June.

My favouritest show in all the world is Buffy the Vampire Slayer Six episodes until the ultimate season finale. Oh boy, am I loving Season 7! Andrew totally cracks me up - "In my scenario, we are beltless" LOL He's hilarious, as is Anya.

My primary love in terms of pets are dogs. They've been my calling since I was a little girl , but my parents aren't fond of the idea of a house pet. So, we have many compromises - two rabbits (Zander and Fergus), seven guinea pigs (Garrison, Maverick, Kennedi, Opal, Lavender, Hallie and Pyper), and two birds (Lachie and Austin - yes, they are house pets, but we got them on the condition they are not outside their cage without me being there). Over the years I've had mice, snails, skinks, caterpillars, and fish, too.

In February my next door neighbours got a Golden Retriever puppy called Lucy, and are kind enough to let me walk her mostly every day, and play with her and everything, so she's my 'half-dog'. I'm trying very hard to teach her good manners, as well, but that's not working out so well

Don't remember how I found this board, although I'm pretty sure it was through the DOTD.

This thread is really interesting! I never knew all of this about everyone.
