Summary

I have always known I wanted to have a career working with animals and was never really sure the path I should really take. Originally I planned to go to Colorado State University to major in zoology but due to Covid and other personal reasons it made more since to stay at CCD for now so I have finished my first associates degree and am working on become a vet tech which will get me close to the animals I love as well as giving me the skills and knowledge to take care of them better. I could also use this knowledge to move more into the field and maybe still even be able to go study zoology.
