Why did I decide to become a veterinarian? Well, it's such a long story. When I was in High School, my favourite subject wase Biology. When I finished, at the very last moment, before I had to decide my career, I chose Veterinary. In the beginning, I had the idea that animals were usually the most defenceless beings and I like to be helpful for them in the future. Even so, while studying, I got to undertand Veterinary degree goes beyond. For that, the Veterinary motto is "Hygia Pecoris, Salus Populi". This a Latin expression which means that caring for animal health helps the whole population. In other words. Its importance resides in public health, and in this field, you can help everyone fighting against health challenges and food fraud. I like this concept a lot because working as a public servant is, at the end of the day, the best way to keep people safe. As time passes, I know I changed my mind. At this moment, I feel I could achieve my task by working for higher purposes in the Administration. In conclusion, this just a light idea of the personal travel I have done so far. This is the reason I decided to leave the clinic activities, to stop taking care of pets, and set off on this new exciting experience.

Hi Carlos,

I am inspired by your philosophy. I think we all have different callings in life and it would be nice to leave a place after making it better than when we first arrived. I lean heavily towards a vegetarian diet as well. I only changed some sentence structures so that your ideas flows more smoothly and added some phrases in blue to make your meaning more specific. I hope I have not changed your original meanings.

(1) When capitalise the first letter if we refer to the study of languages as a subjects (e.g. I am study Spanish.) If we are referring to other subjects, we do not need to capitalise the first letter (e.g. I am studying geography.)

(2) We "understand" when we comprehend an idea. When we are able to fully understand the implications of something at a deeper level and discover its value, we "appreciate" it.

(3) This is an English collocation. When we grow in different aspects (e.g. intellectually, socially, morally, spiritually), we have taken a life journey. We can also say that it is your personal journey. It sounds unnatural to say "life travel" or "personal travel" to express the meaning of personal growth in response to an accumulation of life experiences.

I hope this helps.
