Zoo Animal Technology Program I Want to

¶ … Zoo Animal Technology Program I want to enter the Zoo Animal Technology Program at BLANK University for a number of reasons. First, I have always loved animals since I was very young, and I've always felt I wanted to help take care of them in some capacity as my career. In the past, I've had tropical fish, dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, and other animals in my family for as long as I can remember.

I have always been involved in training, maintaining, and caring for these animals, and I have loved every one of them. I would like to continue in my life. I also strongly believe in animal conservation and husbandry, and the zoo technology program would allow me to learn more about these important areas of zookeeping. I know that many animals are endangered in the wild today, and the only way to help preserve many of these magnificent animals is to house and breed them in the world's zoos.

I think that is a very important aspect of zoology that many people do not recognize or appreciate. For example, the panda programs that are breeding successfully at national zoos, including the world famous San Diego Zoo, are good examples of successful breeding programs. While I love working with animals, I also enjoy working with people, and I know that is a big part of most any job in the zoo.

You have to interact with the public, and they can be curious and attentive, so you have to learn patience and understanding of people along with the animals. I think I have those qualities, and I think I would bring good qualifications to a job in a zoo, which is another reason I'm so interested in your Zoo Animal Technology Program.

It is important to understand every aspect of the job you're going to do, to see if you're a good fit, and I believe I have done that, and I am a good fit. In my education so far, I have done well in the sciences, including biology, which I believe gives me a good foundation to build my degree program. I enjoy the sciences, as well, and I think that it is important when choosing a degree program.

In addition, I have volunteered at local animal shelters to work around animals, and I find I enjoy the work. What I don't enjoy is when people have to give up their pets, or dump them off. I find it very disturbing that so many pet owners don't take their obligations seriously. That is another reason I want to join the Zoo Animal Technology Program.

I want to work in an environment that is more positive for the animals and their long-term welfare, because the animal shelters can be quite depressing at times, and that is definitely not where I want to spend my career working with animals. I realize the program is competitive and demanding, and that there is a sequence to the courses and their completion. I am prepared for that, and to work hard to gain my degree so I can find the career of my dreams.

Specifically, I would like to work in marine rehabilitation, or in one of the successful breeding programs. I would like to work at a prestigious park, such as San Diego, but I would also enjoy working in a smaller facility that offered more interaction with visitors.
