Being a Vet?

Hello everyone! It has been a while since I last updated this blog so here are a few things I would like to update on this entry.

A year has passed and;

31August 2016: I had registered myself in Doctor Veterinary Medicine in UPM.

Today, I would like to share my EXPERIENCE DURING OUR CAREER WEEK.

During Career Week, I learnt that being a Veterinarian isn't merely about playing with cats, dogs or cows (bos indicus) but being a veterinarian is also about being the front line for our national food security. 

Attending the Career Week had really widen up my horizons and viewpoints of being a veterinary student, and I had surely boosted up my knowledge in this field.

Booom! Here is what came into my mind of what being a vet in Malaysia actually is.

• Zoo veterinarian. So, imagine yourself taking care of the smallest monkey in the world and being able to interact with it, or perhaps playing with the cute pandas. Sounds fun and exciting, doesn't it? hahaha

•  Working with government. (Here, you'll be doing a lot of meat inspection)You get the privilege of traveling with fully sponsored 

• Businessmen (perhaps in clinics, being a farmer, animal hotel, selling pet medications )

Or you can also work with big pet food companies.  

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF BEING A VET 

(in my personal opinion) is that;

• You get lots of fun playing with animals especially if you are an animal lover.
• It is not merely working inside an office, you get to spend ample of time being outdoors.
• You will need to travel from places to places.

And... Know a lot of things, of course.

As a Veterinary student (DVM1), I personally would like to be a veterinarian who is more involved towards aquaculture (wanna be fish doctor) which means doing a lot of jobs underwater, although I am not such an expert swimmer myself... LOL 

Other than that, I'm also interested in ruminant species and would like to be involved in animal pharmaceuticals.

I love the idea of being able to have fun and adventures by working in the wildlife  sanctuary.. wahoo

To put it short, there are actually a lot of things you can do by being a veterinarian.. kan kan kan

However, there are some precautions we must take as a vet. Part of that is we must be willing to accept any injuries that may occur caused by the animals. It is not an easy job, but a rather challenging one, especially when having to deal with the animals. Some days will go smoothly, but you will have days when there would be many obstacles or even threats.

On top of that, as a vet, one must be able to face any negative outlooks and perceptions that the society and community have towards veterinary doctors. There are a high number of them that will look down upon this occupation as a result of the stereotypes especially in Malaysia.

Nonetheless, that itself is something we as veterinary students and future veterinary doctors should accept as part of the challenge to become excellent veterinarians and later on prove to the society with quality values in our field of work.

And to end my sharing today, one of the most important factor is of course being inspired by Prof Dato' Dr Mohammed Shariff Mohamed Din by his speech and his successful achievements. His success in this field has become a source of motivational influence for me to achieve my goals and dreams.

I hope one fine day, I can be a successful vet myself.

wallaaa...

Retirement

It's not it's knocked up to be,
this thing we look so forward to.

A time of life that's worry free,
so much time and things to do.

But wait a minute, something's wrong,
things aren't as they should be.

The money is short, the month is long,
and so much time on my hands for me.

I'm not as spry as I once was,
a lot of my energy has wasted away.

I have some bad days as everyone does,
and take life as it comes, day by day.

This system is backwards to me it seems,
we should retire first, and work last.

Then in our youth, chase our dreams,
all life's expectations surpassed

STORY 1

Once there was a couple who was very poor. They had a daughter and lived in a wooden house in the countryside. One night, when the couple was sleeping soundly, all of a sudden a burglar broke into their house quietly through the back door. He was wearing a mask. 

After taking out a gunny sack, he began to ransack the house. After searching in vain in the living room, the burglar sneaked into the daughter's room. The little girl was sleeping soundly, too. The burglar opened the cupboard and started searching for valuables and money. He found that there were only some  clothes inside the cupboard. He searched the drawer of a table near the cupboard. He saw a diary which belonged to the little girl. 

Out of curiosity, he decided to read it. On one of the pages, the girl said that she was an AIDS victim and had only a few more months to live. Even so, she was not afraid or sad because she had a loving family. Her parents loved her very much and cared for her a lot. She was glad to be part of the warm family. Trying to cure her disease or at least to prolong her life, her parents had used up all their savings. Though she knew that she would not be able to live long enough to repay her parents' love and kindness, she would always remember and treasure them when she was in heaven. 

The burglar was deeply moved by the girl's love for her parents, bravery and determination. Then, he saw a drawing of the girl and her family. Looking at the drawing, he began to think about his own parents. He remembered the story before he became a burglar. When he was still schooling, he was weak in his studies. At the age of 16, things began to go wrong when he got into bad company. He stole, robbed and even became a drug addict. He quarrel with his parents when he failed to get money. Then, he decided to move out from his house and live with the bad company. When his parents found out what he intended to do, they begged him to stay but he was as stubborn as a donkey. He refused to listen. After he had started to live with his friends, who were pretty unsavory characters, things worsened. They committed even more crimes together. 

The burglar looked at the drawing of the loving family and thought about his inglorious past with tearful eyes. "The unfortunate girl will not live long, yet she's so thankful for her family. She treasures her parents so much. Instead of complaining about her incurable disease, she faces it bravely, " thought the burglar, crying silent tears at the same time. The little girl had inspired him tremendously. He was remorseful for his wrongdoings and decided to turn over a new leaf and return to his parents. 

Feeling sorry for the girl and her family, he placed a RM50 bill in her diary. That was all he had. After that, he wrote 'Well done! You're a very brave girl. Keep fighting - don't let it defeat you.' in the diary. Then, he left and closed the door behind him quietly.

Good  and Bad Teachers

Teaching can without any doubts be called the leading power of the society’s development. It is well known that there exist three main factors that influence the development of the personality. They are: heredity, social encirclement and education. Usually the term education is used meaning the great impact that parent have on the future personality of their child. But this also includes school education, because nowadays, when parents are very busy they are the people, who teach children what is beautiful and what is ugly, what is right and what is wrong. Through them children learn to perceive the inner world. And the way they perceive it depends on the teacher’s personal particularities that are transmitted to children through interaction and the knowledge that the teacher offers them. A good teacher is a person who finds individual approach to every pupil, taking care about the child’s adaptation in class, increasing one’s social status in class and making sure the children learn to take into account and respect the thoughts of other people.

       Therefore there is much more to a teacher than high professionalism. What makes kids hardly wait until the lesson starts in one cases and hating the subject in others? Of course high professionalism in the field of the taught subject is very important, but when it comes to being a bad or a good teacher this is not the weightiest factor. A good teacher is a person who not just reproduces the knowledge he got. Not a person that only brings up the interest to the subject. It is a person who finds individual approach to every pupil, taking care about the child’s adaptation in class, increasing one’s social status in class and making sure the children learn to take into account and respect the thoughts of other people. It is a man or a woman that can not “play” the teacher’s role but he in the first place “ a feeling human being” in front of the students, a person that can show emotional response. For example, if the teacher is professionally good enough but does not take critics from the pupils constructively or does not explain why he thinks he is right this makes a huge gap between the students and the teacher. And when there is no emotional contact the learning cannot be called successful, for the students are not completely involved. When the teacher does not treat students as people that obey him, treats them like they are equal to him and explains equally to everybody it can really be a pointer of a “good” teacher. And one other very important thing is creativity. 

     One of the indicators of a “good” teacher it is his desire to teach in a new, original form, adding something new and personal to make the learning process as exciting as it can possibly be. A bad teacher is a person that focuses only on the information he provides not taking into account the children or anything. It is a person that is doing its job. Such a person can be very good in the theoretical part of his subject but he will never have students being emotionally attached to him. It is a teacher that lets his personal mood influence on the way he treats his students, ect. That cannot reduce awkward situations with humor either it is him in the situation or his student. Being a good teacher is about loving children and wanting to give them only the best the teacher has inside of him.
