I'm interested in being a vet because I love working with animals. I would enjoy interacting with them everyday. I've wanted to be a vet since I was five. Having a job that involves helping animals has appealed to me for seven years.

To be a Vet you need a DVM. I intend to go to UCF and major in biology.
