Veterinarian
When I was younger- I wanted to be a vet.
Petting dogs all day sounded good to me.
As I grew older, I still thought about being a vet.
"I would be the worst vet" I thought as I tried to cut my dogs toenails.
I accidentally cut the blood vessel. I cried.
I dissected a frog. I popped the poop sack. I cut open the stomach and heart.
No no no- I could never be a vet.
I could never give the death shot to a pet in a room full of crying people. I could never give a shot.
I can't even receive shots. I got the flu shot a couple weeks ago.
I cried.
I witnessed my cat having kittens. By witnesses I mean I saw the first one plop out before I ran away as quick as I could.
I screamed when my friend's dog's leg popped out of socket for a second.
If there is one person who should not be a vet-
That person is me.



Fabulous writing.
