Post 5 > Why do I want to be a vet?

When I was a little girl I never say what I wanted to be, is weird for a child but my mom

said me that never I say: " Ohh I like to be a doctor or lawyer" ( I hate the lawyers ). When I grown up, first I wanted to be a veterinarian, later I wanted to be a dentist but finally I decide for the veterinain medicine :)

 My other options to career that I had is Odontology, midwife and pedagogy. 

 I decide finally to be a vet because I think that is one of the most beautiful career in all the  sence, when I register in the career I wasn't sure but I think that is the best decision that I  take.

 My experience in the career until the moment is thet the veterinarian medicine is really  difficult, more that I thought actually, but all al done with effort and that is the important.

 I haven't thought about this yet, I think that this is a decision very important and taken    with the time, only I know is that I will be a vet :D 

MY FAVORITE ANIMAL(S)

My favorite animals are two. One of they is the Tiger, is inteligent, fast and strong animal. Is a predator carnivorous and is the feline most big in the world. The tiger have a  fur orange with lines brown or blacks, is very dangerous and territorial. I like because I think is the most beautiful animal in the world, I have many things with tigers, I really love it!

My other favorite animal is the Koala, this is the most cute thing that I see ever, is sooo lazy and sleepyhead. Is the medium-sized with fur soft and gray. Is a herbivore animal, he eat only plants, is native to Australia and live in the trees. One of my dreams is travel to Australia and can see some Koalas, they are really cute and beautiful :)

My favorite Piece of Technology

Well, I think that I don't have a one favorite piece of technology, I'm not consider a big fan about the technology but I used frequently my ipod and laptop. I don't have a favorite bacuse I used all the piece technology that I have but I think that more important to me is the laptop, because I do everything I need, like study, listen to music, read sometimes, talk with my friends and is the best partner when you are bored. 

I got it my laptop 3 years ago but isn't working well, I need a new laptop very soon. 

I used internet to study and download information, talk with family and friends, listen to music and see series sometimes, I read much in my laptop because is free but not legal hahahah.

     I used my laptop everyday is not healthy but is very inevitable. I like the laptop because      I can find all I need is so necessary :s

     My life without my computer would be so much boring and uninformed.
