well in high school, i wanted to be a zoologist. i really love animals, so i thought i would be working with them and studying them. i enjoy research, observation and i knew my genus and phyla pretty well. i always knew i was going to go to valparaiso university, there was no alternative. it's the only school i applied to.
my mom found out about a scholarship for students who are talented in art, so she had me go for the interview and the portfolio review. and i got it. the only thing was that i would have to declare an art major to get it, not a biology one as i had planned. so i researched what i could do with art and found design.
it's kind of strange that i ended up in art b/c my mom always wanted me to be a pharmacist. sometimes i wonder what would have happened if i was a pharmacist, but then i don't think i would have ever found me. i've always expressed myself in art, i would draw my feelings to people rather than talk. once i went to VU and met other people like me, i felt like i finally found me.
i always believe that GOD has a plan for everyone, sometimes we get off track, but he's always there and we always get to where we need to be--eventually.

Perhaps you could do some artistic work with animals still? I have some models over here if you need some ; )
