This is my second year attending the Ohio State University of Marion for my Veterinarian Technician degree. Ever since I can remember I have always had a love for all animals and wanted to do what I can in order to help any animal that I come across. My parents and my boyfriend, Brian Manson, have always been my biggest supporters and they where always happy to help, even when I would bring them more animals that needed a loving home. In high school I attended Tri-Rivers Career Center taking Veterinary Science to help me start my career path. While taking Veterinary Science, I worked at S&G Stables and Big Walnut Animal Care Center, which was a big help because I learned new things from all three places. I grew up in a small town called Marengo which is located in Morrow County. When I started college my Brian and I decided it would be easier if we lived closer, so we are now living in Marion. Living in Marion is a big change for the both of us, once living in the country and now living in the city. I have two more years to complete for me to have my Veterinary Technician licence which is my lifetime goal and has never changed since I was younger.



While reading Holding On, the profile that was the most interesting to me was the author of the worlds longest diary, Robert Shields. It was the most interesting to me I feel because of how he was happy and content being at home and actually hated to leave his house, so he just never left. I am the exact opposite, I hate being at home for a long period of time and I have to get out and go do anything. I cant even be home for a whole day without having to get out. The whole book so far seems to be well written. I have never enjoyed reading or looked forward to reading, but this book is different, I am excited to see and read about all the other people that were interviewed and put into this book.
