Animal Science: Personal Statement Of Purpose
Growing up on the outside of a small town, it was always hard to find kids to play with as a child. No children, besides my cousin, lived near me that I could go outside to play with and all of the friends I made in school lived further away which proved it difficult to make arrangements to get together. I suppose that is why I spent most of my time playing with my dog. Living on the outside of town had its drawbacks, but also contained hidden benefits that take time to come into the light. Spending the majority of my time playing with my dog has helped me come to the realization of my love for animals. This love and passion for animals is something that drove me to pursue a career in the field of animal science and to one day achieve my goal …show more content…

    It all began when a was a little boy and all I wanted was a dog, for years I begged and begged, and still no dog. I felt as if I was incomplete without one, I had even written persuasive essays in school on why I should get a dog and waited and just hoped for it.

    To be able to succeed in everything is a goal most people have for themselves. With success comes happiness, comfortability, and a sense of accomplishment. This is my greatest goal in life, to be able to make something of myself; to become someone no one else could imagine me being.

    What is it about the presence of a dog or the touch of its soft fur that allows people to feel at ease and comfortable enough to release their emotions? Animals, the vast majority being canines due to being domesticated and easily accessed and trained, have been used in hospitals, schools, prisons, and other settings for years in order to bring about a therapeutic change (Megan A. Souter & Michelle D. Miller, 2007). Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a type of therapy that uses trained animal interaction as a form of treatment to ameliorate an individuals physical, emotional, and social well-being. Interacting with an animal-whether playing with it, caring for it, or simply petting it- is believed to have many positive effects on a person.…

    It was a relaxing day at home in the Helfman household. My mom was constantly jabbering on the phone, my dad’s eyes were glued to his computer working, and my brother was stuck to his bed and never got up.

I have three dogs. My dogs Sadie, Tootsie, and Lucky are cuddly and soft toy poodles.…

    As the single child in a family with working parents, I spent the most time of my childhood living and hanging around with my dog. This experience might be one of the reasons that I am very compassionate to animals and sensitive to people’s needs. My voluntary work is in a welfare house called Alenah's home. I love working there because I like seeing the smile face of the children there – even some autism babies don’t smile facially, I believe they can feel the love when being caressed softly.…

    “A dog is a man’s best friend”, is the expression people say when they find that during tough points in a person’s life an animal will always be there unconditionally to show comfort and support. The attachment that humans have with their pet is unquestionable, some people take their pets with them wherever they go, and even talk to their pets about what happened throughout the day or problems they are struggling with. Most animals are loyal to their owners and are always looking for attention, keeping their owners fit and exercised by going on walks or playing fetch or just going outside and getting fresh air. Therapists have thought of a way to bring that unconditional love, comfort, loyalty, and playfulness into the therapy room. Animal interactions during therapy sessions should be used because it increases overall health and happiness in the patient as well as secure a special bond between the client and the animal that will encourage and motivate them to come to therapy sessions.…

    From a young age, I relished the time I spent with, or near, any animal. I used to sit outside and watch as birds and squirrels searched meticulously for food, then ran around chasing each other playfully in my backyard, wondering what their lives were like and how different, or similar, were their lives from mine? I would spend numerous hours teaching my dog tricks, and I wouldn’t give up without him completing the task, or at the very least, having made some progress in doing so. And every afternoon, during fourth and fifth grade, I read to my rabbits, bemuse my mother told me they adored stories; this, I later realized, played a large role in me becoming proficient in English in less than two years, and also in developing my love for books…

    The animal and human bond has existed for more than 12,000 years (Morrison, 2007). In the United States, 62% of the population report having a companion animal (Risley-Cutiss, 2010). Research suggests that companion animals provide adults and children with a feeling of security and unconditional love (Risley-Curtiss, 2010). Families have a close relationship with the animal companion and he or she is considered part of the family. The pet is part of the dynamics of the family system. Pet ownership, or being in the presence of an animal, has shown many health benefits, including mental, social, physiological improvements (The Human-Companion Animal Bond, 2009). Research findings show the importance of incorporating animals in social work research, education, and practice (Risley-Curtiss, 2010).…

    My educational goal is to attend Western Oregon University and graduate with a bachelors degree in biology. I want to major in biology because my goal is to become a dentist. After graduating from Western Oregon University I will apply to a dental school to earn a dental degree.

The veterinarian spoke to my mother while I listened intently. Our dog lost his leg but he was alive and would recover. Next, she turned to me. She smiled and told me that by staying calm, reacting quickly, and holding his artery shut, I saved our dog’s life. Her words were the catalyst that sparked my genuine desire to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.…
