Shayque
I was born in Daytona Beach and moved to Jacksonville when I was two. I would like to go back to school and further my education in the veterinary field. I always had love and passion for animals growing up. We had all types of pets at home, like fish, hamsters, birds, and different breeds of dogs. When I was in high school, our family dog started having seizures, and there wasn’t any treatment for him at that time. This sparked a fire in me to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. If I were an animal, I would be an elephant because they always seem like the protectors in the wild. They want to see peace not war.
Morgan
I am originally from New York/Arizona. I’ve been a veterinary technician for a few years now. I would like to stay in veterinary medicine and continue to hone and advance my skills. My favorite part of veterinary medicine is the nursing aspect and constant learning the career provides. I have a four legged son named Archie who I love very much. If I could choose to be any animal it would be a panda!
