My ultimate dream from the time I was very little was to be a veterinarian. Which is basically perfect since I love animals, or so I thought.

My junior year in high school I job shadowed mobile veterinarian, at I was thrilled at first. I enjoyed the excellent work she performed and talents she had. However, I was with her from 6am to 11pm. I had a whole day cut out for me. We did a lot in that day.

I witnessed dental procedures, euthanizing, artificial insemination, hoof trimming, many vaccinations, pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and so forth. Many the jobs focused on large animals, such as horses and cows, but we also seen dogs, guinea pigs, and foals. This was a peak season for cow and horse pregnancies.

After the day was over I was exhausted, and I wondered how she did that seven days a week. Skip forward to my first semester in college. I job shadowed at a local animal clinic, this time for a week. I seen a lot of different surgeries and procedures, but when I was watching the vets do their job, I couldn’t picture myself in their position. I tried and thought I just had to get through it, but I knew towards the end of the week that the career wasn’t for me. Also, the vets didn’t interact with the animals as much as I imagined and they did not seem to have the most glamorous life.

In high school, I also had the thought of becoming an animal welfare lawyer. Once I realized the veterinary career wasn’t for me I made the change. I am now working towards becoming a medical malpractice lawyer or animal welfare lawyer.

I am meeting with a lawyer, Attorney Ippiloto, tonight! Stay ready!

Hello! A little about me. My name is Paeton. I am in my second semester of my freshman year at Lycoming College, located in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. I am majoring in biology on the anatomy and physiology track. I am minoring in entrepreneurship, as well. Overall, I am on the pre-law track. Once I graduate I am planning on attending law school.

More personal knowledge about me includes family and hobbies. I am in a relationship, which started almost two years ago. I have loving grandparents who I adore and to reside with currently.

One of my favorite things are animals. I have a red nose pitbull named Dixie. She is 8 months old and very playful and rambunctious. I also have a guinea pig, two gerbils, and a fish. I had previously goats, chickens, rabbits, and a micro pig.

My simple hobbies are full of outdoor life. I love being outdoors! Included is fishing, hiking, camping, and exploring nature. I recently just explored scuba diving and really enjoyed it, so I plan to make that a new hobby as well.

I will continue to post more about my adventures through college and life. Stay ready!
