1. Finding my mentorship was very difficult to do and I stressed a lot because of this. I had to call about 30 animal hospitals until 1, which is Loma Linda Animal Hospital, allowed me to do my mentorship at their hospital. The reason why I had to call so many was because some animal hospitals didn't allow volunteers due to insurance issues and the rest allowed volunteers, but the age limit to be a volunteer was 18 and over at those hospitals. I am grateful that Loma Linda Animal Hospital allowed me to do my mentorship there and now I am learning so much about veterinary medicine that I never knew before.
2. The most important article I have read so far was "Compassionate Vet Care: Handling Pets in a Pet Friendly Manner" by Dr. Sophia Yin, DVM. The reason why it is so important is because the info in this article is really important to know if I want to become a veterinarian when I am older. It describes how a veterinarian's care and how they handle an animal really affects the animal in a good or bad way. Veterinarians must put an animal's welfare first if they want to be a successful veterinarian.
