• Getting people to take pictures of me

• Distance to the Wake County SPCA

PROBLEMS

• The SPCA has a great, organized volunteer program and I was able

to get many service hours• Collected a combined $542.25 in

pet supplies, coupons, and money for the JCAPL

• Everyone I encountered was helpful to me

SUCCESSES

• I need to work on being more open and outgoing when I’m in new places or around people I’ve never met before

• When I start things ahead of time, it shows and I work much more efficiently

• I can do anything I set my mind to

THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT

MYSELF

• Working with animals is definitely something I can see myself doing

• Surgeries don’t bother me• Being a veterinarian is a challenging

and (sometimes) messy job• I still have a lot of volunteering to do

and experience I need to decide whether or not this is the career path for me

THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT

MY CAREER

• YES!!!• I continue to volunteer at the SPCA• I’ve met and made relationships

with professionals in the field• The experience I gained helped me

earn valuable insight into a future career path

WAS THE PROJECT
