Why do I want to be a vet?

When I was a child, I wasn't had a dream job, I always love the area of health care, but I didn’t know what to be. I just decided at the last year of high school that I wanted to be a vet, but I also thought to be a nurse or an obstetrician.

When my rabbit was sick, I always had to take her to the vet and then I realized that this is job is so passionate and I wanted to have this job. Obviously also the fact that I love the animals in general. I want to help the animals to be better. I like so much the horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, minor species in general, ect. This is my passion. I also love the biology that is why I always love the area of health care, because is so much biology.

I think my experience in university until now has been a good experience, I meet new Friends and I like the departament so much. I like the farm of the university and the simple fact that I always can go to see the animals there.

In the future I want to have my own clinic and specialize in exotic animals, but also could be surgery.

A Photograph I like

This picture was captured by a photographer that was there in the park taking photos. Is a recent picture. In this photograph you can see to my family and my dog, that was the last walk of my dog, because he was detect with a lymphatic cancer and he die two week later. I like it because that was a happy moment because my dog was happy and it make me content have given this last moment to my Pinky. His death affected me a lot and still affect me, only one month has passed since that day and I miss him so much. But I try to remind him like you can see in this picture. It has been very difficult to overcome his death, but he suffered a lot and now he is so much better in a better place without pain. In this picture he was happy with his family who loved and will love him forever.

The role of the climate change in the development of humans has been very important, because as the time goes by, the climate oscillate more between warm and cool, this condition make the humans change them skeleton, dentition and lose hair. And also in a period of dramatic climate change the human brain size evolved most rapidly.

2. In your opinion, what is the most significant milestone for the human evolution? Why? 
The most significant milestone for me was the rapid increase in brain size, because that milestone made that humans can interact with each others, these bigger brains helped to survive and made the humans think and analize.

3. Which early human species was thought to be the first to use tools made from stone?
