What was the biggest obstacle when going into veterinary medicine and how did you overcome it?
I am curious to any vet med students or those who were previously what you felt the biggest setback was and how you persevered!

I went to vet tech school. *Living* was the hardest thing. Paying rent, gas, utilities, going to school full time &, at one point, working 3 jobs. My parents definitely helped me get by, until I graduated. I could not have done it without them. They were FAR from rich, but helped me without question. I made it through determination. I was going to do it, regardless of how it happened.

One of the biggest obstacles many face in veterinary medicine is the intense academic workload and emotional stress. Balancing rigorous studies with practical experiences can be daunting. Overcoming this often involves building a strong support system, connecting with peers, and finding effective study methods. Many find solace in joining study groups or seeking mentorship. Remember, it's a journey! Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, and don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it. You’ve got this!
