It's the End of the Semester, But It's Not Goodbye!

The end of my second semester of college is finally coming to an end.  Although I created this blog specifically for this semester's english class, I have chosen to continue blogging for as long as I can.  It may not be weekly like I've done for academic reasons, but I plan to post as often as possible.

At the beginning of the semester, the word "blogging" seemed far out of my zone of interest.  But throughout these few months, I've grown to enjoy blogging.  In my experience, I can admit that the one thing I disliked about having to create a post was all of the research and time it takes to write a trustworthy and factual blog post that grabbed the attention of my audience.  But once I began to research and learn more information than I could have ever learned if I hadn't started blogging, I found myself indulged into my posts like nothing else.

Sometimes it was hard to figure out what to blog about when ideas started to run out from the top of my head, but after finding, reading, and interacting with other bloggers in my community, I learned that animal health and welfare is a vastly broad topic for anyone.  Ideas seemed to pile up quickly over time and my next hardest decision was to pick which idea I wanted to write about.

If any future bloggers decide to choose this topic or anything related to it, always know that new concerns come up everyday and add up to more issues that need to be addressed in the animal world.  Countless animal health and welfare bloggers are out there trying everyday to help the voices of animals be heard.  I plan to continue to do so as well through my blog and work.  One day, I will become a veterinarian and hopefully my outreach to society will continue to grow into something so much more than a college student trying to make her dreams and the dreams of animals come true.

It's been fun blogging with Professor Quinn and my class.  I hope for the best with everyone and happy blogging!
