Four Weeks

Hello,

I feel that in this class I am doing very well. Everyday I am learning something different. I am very much enjoying coming here to pre-vet tech. I like getting the knowledge that is offered here. Not only are there are people here that can help me succeed but there is hands on experience that can show me.

I have excelled in many different parts since school has started. In the last four weeks I’ve learned how to work with animals, how to deep clean cages, feeding animals, and sanitizing the room when we are all finished. I’ve also learned some basic medical terminology and I feel this is where I have been excelling to the highest degree. When we first go over the terms they just seem to stick in my mind and it is easy for me to learn them. Another way that I am excelling is handling animals. I’ve been around animals a lot of my life and I have learned how to hold an animal properly. During the duration of the past four weeks I have continued learning how to handle an animal. I believe that this is a skill that is required to learn in this profession. It is more then just holding an animal it is feeding and making sure that the animal is completely comfortable and not have any straining.

There are also things that I need to work on and I will try my hardest to perfect them. The first thing that I need to work on is bathing the animals and restraining them. I think that if me and some kids get together then we will be able to study together. I believe that while studying together we could accomplish great things and all of us will get the knowledge that we need. Other ways that I could get others to do well in class is by helping them any way that I can. Assisting others and expecting the same from others is how everyone will succeed in the class.

I think that in this past four weeks I have really improved my skills and are retaining knowledge that I can use in my later proffession. The skills that I learn now will benefit me now and later.
