Narrative Essay – Corrections

The reason why

      Walking to school on a bright day, I heard the faint sound of little paws behind me. I looked behind me I noticed tiny little paws and a faint sound. As curious as I was, I decided to find where the sound came from. I searched and searched, I found what I was looking for. Hiding behind the drenched boxed on the wet ground, was a kitten. I felt my heart skip a beat and a smile stretch across my face; yet at the same time, my heart broke into pieces as I noticed how slender her body was, you could see her bones. If I go to school, leaving this cat behind I know I’ll regret it; I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself. I picked the kitten up, wrapping it inside my jacket for warmth. It fell asleep on the way home; it was heartwarming. When I arrived home, my mother looked confused, “Why aren’t you at school?” I unzipped my jacket and showed her why.

 

We took the kitten to the Veterinarian, the kitten was in a bad shape, she was malnourished, her bones were visible, the kitten also had several injuries which seemed like she had a couple fights with other cats. It was clear she’s gone through a lot but I was glad that she doesn’t have to go through that again.  Five days after being at the care of the Veterinarians, the kitten seemed much better and healthier. The stray kitten wasn’t like any other stray; she was comfortable and playful not to mention she had quite the character. That’s when I decided to name her Elda, a short and a beautiful name for a fighter. She deserved a happier life, Elda has survived on her own on the streets with no food; therefore, making her a fighter.

Days, weeks, and months passed by. Each day Elda’s health was getting much better than from when I first met her; we were happy. We’d go on walks and explore many places like: Forests, beaches, and streets we haven’t been to.

 

Elda loved to explore, she was curious about everything and always followed me to school. One day getting ready to go to school, I realized Elda wasn’t there. I figured that she’s going on a walk like she always does, but this time, she wasn’t with me. Walking to school; I felt my heart drop to my stomach. Elda was thrown on the side of the road with needles injected on her arm. It shattered my heart; I felt guilty. I wished I could’ve done something to help her, to this day I still wish I was there for her This must’ve been painful my love, but you are in a better place. I promised Elda that I’ll help animals that are in need whenever I can.

 

Years passed, I’m a junior in High-school. I’ve decided to Volunteer at the Animal hospital to experience a typical day as a Veterinarian. First day, it was fun; I learned the proper way of how to strain animals from moving as they are getting, nails clipped, injuries healed with laser treatments. The hospital was as full of appointments.

Days passed and I realized that there is no such thing as a “typical Veterinarian day” It was always different, each day there was something different, busy on some days, and slow as a turtle on others. I’ve learned many great things like drawing blood, testing blood, diagnosing illnesses and many more. Being a Veterinarian is not always sunshine and rainbows. There are times when you have to operate a surgery, euthanasia, cleaning anal glands. It can be yucky sometimes, but it’s all for a good cause. A job is not always easy; it can be stressful at times but the most of all it can be the greatest job you can ever have because you chose it. Although, being a Veterinarian can be a lot of hard work and dedication, at the end of the day; it’s all worth it because animals deserve the world.

Reflection:

I’m proud of the way essay came together,  and how I it ended after the corrections. Although it was short and had some mistakes I enjoyed writing it but at the same time it was sad recalling the past.

One thing I’d improve is my writing

The Pedestrians

Artists and Writers are as important as Scientists and Engineers, Artists help us envision new ideas that may not be tolerable in this society or help us create new technology that contributes to society.

Throughout the years Artists and writers have had a great impact on our society, during the old times Painters  would paint events that have happened which helped us have a better understanding visually of how events may have looked or occurred like in the past. Artists and writers show their emotions through their work, in music, books, paintings etc. many people look up to certain artists or writers ans usually aspire to become an individual like them. Even scientist try to create new ideas from paintings or novels and make them into reality.

In my life I always listen to music whenever I’m happy, sad or stressed, music helps me relax and focus on work i think without music my life would be pretty boring.
