Answer 3

In highschool you will want to take a lot of biology classes, so that when you get to college, you can be a pre-vet major. And I would advise looking up online what veterinarian schools there are and then finding out what requirements they have for what classes you should take in college.

Answer 4

Read as much as you can. Anything you can get your hands on about anything have to do with being a veterinarian. Also, I would suggest unassigned writing. Like writing on sources or just taking notes so it sticks. Good luck!!

Answer 5

Volunteer at a veterinary office to get a feel for what it is like to
work with animals -- both sick and healthy. Practical experience is required for most veterinary schools.
Volunteer at a local animal
shelter or animal control unit to learn more about how your community
handles "unwanted" animals.
Work with a guidance counselor in your
school to choose a variety of classes, not solely science
classes. Vet schools look for students who are well-rounded, with
various interests.
Join local, state, and national veterinary interest groups and associations.
Some animal organizations include, but aren't limited to: 4-H, Humane
Societies, animal welfare groups, and pet therapy organizations.
Keep trying, researching, and studying to attain your goal.
