Since I was a child I have always liked animals, although there are some that intimidate me a bit I feel empathy for these living beings, that's why I wanted to have pets, my first pet was a cat and after it there were others and also dogs, unfortunately with the years died and others I gave them up for adoption, but I am one of the people who is not afraid or disgusted to do what I have to do for the well-being of pets.

I was so fascinated by animals that I used to watch television programs on channels like Animal Planet or Discovery whenever I had the opportunity in a house that had cable TV, I also spent a lot of time reading a large 25-volume encyclopedia that I still have (there was no internet), it contained all the topics but I focused on looking specifically for animals, I wrote the content of the animals that I liked in a notebook, that is, everything related to this creature, in a few words I had a small encyclopedia of handwritten animals in my notebook. But I never saw something related to animals as something possible to study, due to my environment, economic possibilities and my geographical location.

I am currently 33 years old and I studied two majors but none of those veterinary, my last Yellow cat died at the beginning of April, he was only 4 years with us at home, it's been a month and a half since I went through that loss and it still hurts, This has generated many reflections in me and it could be said that it has even opened my eyes regarding the opportunities in life, as it turns out that they are currently offering the veterinary degree at a university that is in my town, knowing this news made me It made me happy but at the same time it caused me a certain sadness, because at my age it is very difficult for me to start studying another university degree, the economic and time implications are decisive, my objective now is to work to support my son, so I do not see it as viable start studying a career to get a degree close to 40 years old, if time went back the situation would be the same because before they didn't teach the career in my city. But then I would like to be able to rejuvenate at least 10 years and thus, with all the energy in the world, study veterinary medicine.
Also Yellow used to sleep in my son's bed
It is very painful to see animals die, I took my last cat to the vet and bought him medicine and he still died, the problem is that I did not detect the disease in time, my cat did not show symptoms until it was too late, but if I If I were a vet, I could have seen the signs in time, even if I didn't save my cat, I would have the opportunity to help many other pets that I cared for. I also consider that consultation costs are very expensive in my country and even more so in my town, so I would be a veterinarian who would set low rates, because it does not seem fair to me that people have to do raffles and fundraising campaigns to being able to care for their pets in my country, they don't know how many cases I see daily on social networks of people asking for help to treat their pets. I wish I could be younger and sign up for that carrer.
This is my participation in Weekend-Engagement writing topics: WEEK 154.
