the vet tech diaries.

I lead a childhood of adults asking the question,
“What do you want to be when you grow up, Carissa?”

And my ever ready response,
“I’m going to be a CAT!”

It was a response my parents grew accustomed to and knew that, eventually, I would grow out of it. And, eventually, I did. I finally made the decision that perhaps a career in the medical aspect of animals would be better then being a cat.

Now, I have only a few months left of my senior year as a vet tech student at Mount Ida College. I’ve learned all the knowledge and clinical skills my professors have to offer and now it’s my time to prove it to them, and myself. I have 2 internships left of the 6 I have to fulfill in order to graduate and I’m loving every minute of it.

These are my journals that document what I’ve experienced through my senior year internships.

Enjoy... and remember: this is better then being a cat.
