Looking back at the beginning of my internship, I was irrationally nervous about working with kids. Being constantly in the presence of\u00a0kids and taking things into their perspective has opened up a whole new world for me. It’s almost as if I now have a kid friendly aura. Before this summer I was not considering having kids of my own, and now my entire life plans have been flipped upside-down (In a good way).\u00a0I feel 100 percent more inclined to care for, and even just chat with younger children.<\/p>\n
The daily activities of PAWS camp have encouraged me to do more volunteer work at My Angel With Paws. I am interested in the first steps of training a service dog, and specifically the weekend foster program. I don’t think I have enough time to care for a service dog full time, but a weekend responsibility is perfect. I have learned so much about general check-ups and taking care of house pets. I mentioned the outlandish idea of a veterinary degree in my earlier posts, but with some more consideration and research I might be applying to a veterinary technician program.<\/p>\n
I am still going to apply to the masters program at Stetson; Educating for Social Justice, but I am extremely interested in both fields which poses somewhat of a dilemma\u00a0so I am leaving my options open. I am so thankful for the experience at the Halifax Humane Society, I have\u00a0had some unique experiences at the\u00a0camp\u00a0and can only benefit from all that I’ve\u00a0encountered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
