We are proud to highlight some of our hardworking Veterinary Technician students in this issue of Faces of Penn Foster.

GINA M. of Richmond, Virginia “I want to be ready for a full-time position in my field when my youngest child starts school. Penn Foster is helping me attain that goal. Telling other mothers that I am in school is a huge boost, not only to my ego, but it also helps other mothers (and fathers) realize that they too could further their education and earn a degree.” Click here to read Gina’s story.

	CHRIS R. of Pennsylvania and Thumper “I’m very excited about taking my courses in both colleges. I do not have early morning classes at Dubois and this is the perfect time for me to join my Penn Foster class and instructors online as required. I do my business school work during the week and my Vet. Tech. homework on the weekends.” Click here to read Chris’s story.

TAMI C. of Forth Worth, Texas “I love my work and look forward to something new every day. I can't wait for the day I receive my degree in the mail, it will be worth all the time and energy I've spent in the last 15 years to get to that point in my life.” Click here to read Tami’s story.

	VERONICA V. and Buddy “I hope to excel in my career working with animals and helping them live long, happy, and healthy lives. I feel that Penn Foster is helping me achieve my dream through their distance learning degree program.” Click here to read Veronica’s story.

DOROTHY H. of W. Virginia & Falcon BHF “I have always enjoyed being around the public and working with animals, so I decided to go back to school. My veterinarian has given me the opportunity to volunteer at her clinic to work around small animals just to make sure this is what I want. Well it is, and I love it.” Click here to read Dorothy’s story.

WENDY T. and her alpaca “Imagine” “None of our local veterinarians have much camelid knowledge. Learning about the health and care of these wonderful animals alongside our veterinarian and friends has been such a great experience. I love taking care of the alpacas and the rest of the menagerie we have.” Click here to read Wendy’s story.
