    When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but when I grew up, I started to be scared of blood, and I dont know if I would be able to follow that dream, but with ur information I am getting a big courage to do it, thanks 🩷

      I love this!! I definitely think you should try to get some experience in the field bc I’ve met people who don’t like human blood but can still do vet stuff! There’s also lots of things you can do with animals not related to blood :)

      you can totally work on it! I don't love blood but have gotten wayyyy better when I took a co-op. Now the only thing that slightly bothers me is the needle going into the skin. It doesn't actually make me feel uncomfortable my eyes just get watery. Good luck!

      I have a similar problem. I would love to become a veterinarian, but I’m squeamish about saliva and anything involving the mouth. Im okay with blood, urine, and all that stuff but I cannot stand anything that is related to the mouth area. I think it’ll be okay though

    In my country, we have to decide what we wanna study at like 14-15yo. I was so lost at that time. Until I remembered the little girl who promised to be a veterinarian. And then it clicked. I suddenly had some massive motivation to study hard for the exams that were supposed to decide my future. And I did it. I'm a vet student since this September. It's going pretty well. Btw im 15.

    hiii i’m a high schooler hoping to become a vet and this video was so helpful especially since i related to so much of what you said. a few questions though-when you showed the total number of hours on your app, there’s 1500 extracurricular. what does that mean, like college clubs? also, did you get the research by emailing a professor you knew or some other way? is volunteer experience less valuable than paid jobs, or should i still do both?
    thank you if you ever answer this question (altho i know it’s a year late) 😊

    • @cindydoinstuff
      @cindydoinstuff  9 місяців тому +2

      Hi!! I’m so glad this was helpful hehe! So 1500 extracurricular included mostly clubs and a scholarship program I was in and events I worked on with that! I got my research position just by looking up professors in my field, reading some papers they’ve published to see who was most interesting to me, and then emailing them to ask if they had any openings for student research! I think paid and volunteer can be equally important! I don’t think you can go wrong either way tbh but I think doing at least some of both is good! Feel free to dm me on Instagram @cindydoinstuff if you ever have more questions!! Good luck ❤

    • @cindydoinstuff

      a lot of internships in this field are unpaid unfortunately but I would look into seeing if your school offers grants to cover the cost of your living during an unpaid internship! I used this resource a lot! But also sometimes I think it is beneficial to do an unpaid internship even if it means you have to dip into your savings just because having an awesome experience is worth more than money in the long run!!

    Please read
    God is truly the best. I used to have an story with Him. And i was still 8 that time and i was repenting then after that i slept and suddenly i woke up in the middle of the night and i can feel my body moving by itself while it made my body pray then after that i slept. I'm really happy He still loves me, but i still need to sacrifice these things to Him. I want to make Him happy. ❤
    Don't forget, you still have the chance to repent! Don't quit, everyone! Don't lose hope, and always seek for God. Because He's the one who will save you, and He will bring you joy. Live for God, live for His name. I know i still have a lot of things to do, but i want to remind that you still can repent. He's real, and He loves you all.
    If you're currently sad, God is always here for you. Pray, and ask. And He'll asnwer you. If you're depressed He will also help you. If you're tired, He's always here for you. Cling to Him, and He'll help you.
