Windows rolled down, wind whipping through the car, and a view of a big wet dog nose in the side mirror. But today, all is right with the world already. The office is the veterinary clinic where Carlee Mae and I spend our days\u2014 she as the \u201cclinic dog,\u201d and I as part of the team that helps other people\u2019s pets go home feeling better.<\/p>\n<p>Somewhere between being that little girl and today, I decided I wanted to be a part of the magic. Everything I know about this field I originally learned through \u201con the job\u201d training at the vet\u2019s office where I volunteered starting in my late teens. It wasn\u2019t until my late 20s that I decided I wanted to get a degree in this field. But it was an intimidating decision. Was I too old to learn new tricks? Would there be enough hours left in the day to study adequately after working a 10-hour-plus shift?<\/p>\n<p>The experience of earning a degree in veterinary technology from Penn Foster College changed my life. Aside from the obvious benefits\u2014that education makes us better equipped to do the best work we can each day\u2014it also taught me a great deal about self-esteem, self-trust, self-pride, self-patience, self-discipline, and maybe even a lesson or two in self-humbling.<\/p>\n<p>I can honestly say that graduating, and then being honored as the 2016 Distance Education Accrediting Council (DEAC) Outstanding Graduate of the Year, is the achievement I am most proud of in my life. I\u2019m sometimes amazed that I went to school and graduated later in life\u2014<em>summa cum laude<\/em>\u2014while working more than full-time as a practice manager. For me, this is proof that we can teach old dogs new tricks and that motivation can take you far in life when you apply it to something you love.<\/p>\n<p>My education is furthering my career in ways I can only begin to dream of. I am so excited for the road ahead, for all the possibilities within the veterinary field, and for the endless opportunities that have come my way. This is a field for lifelong learning, and I am up for the challenge. I carry with me the knowledge that there will always be concerned little girls and their parents bringing their best pet friends into our clinic. My goal is to become the best technician possible for these patients so these little girls return home feeling that, with the magic that happened at the vet\u2019s clinic, all is right with the world again.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever my future holds, it will always bring me back to the road I\u2019ve traveled to become a licensed veterinary technician. Because when you love what you do, and you are educated to do it to the best of your ability, all will be right in the \u201cadult\u201d world, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #f5821f\"><em>Veterinary technicians are the heart of veterinary medicine.
