My passion is veterinary science. My father owns a farm-like house in Colombia. There are a lot of stray animals around the area. I saw stray dogs and would put myself in their situation by imagining how I would feel if I didn't have a home or any food for myself. I always tried to grab some food and sneak it to those that come to the farm. That experience has made my heart grow fonder and have more love towards animals. I also have a pet dog at home, named Maya. Maya is one of my biggest companions. She fully depends on me and others in my house to stay healthy and alive. She made me see how it is to take care of a living thing. I want to take care of animals that are abandoned, giving them a second opportunity.
Attending UConn Pre-College Summer Program will begin my journey towards veterinary science. It'll give me basic skills for the medical field and expose me to very interesting scientific research. This program also has instructors that are passionate about the medical field. They will give me the wisdom that they gained from their experiences in their work. This program will help me discover what part of veterinary science I'm most interested in and what I want to specialize in.
Valentina is a diligent and motivated student with a passion for animals. She has achieved great grades in all of her years here. Valentina is a great candidate and would benefit immensely from spending a summer at UConn Pre-College Summer Program. It is here that Valentina would be allowed to find a space surrounded by like-minded, motivated students to pursue her passion.
I just want to say thank you to those who've supported me through their donations. Without you, I wouldn't have gone so far and progressed so much towards my goals. What I'm most excited for is to see how animals are wired differently both physically and mentally compared to humans. This experience will open my eyes to see how my future will look like if I take this path for my life career.
Congratulations on reaching your goal!
