My 6 month trip to South Africa will hugely impact, influence and guide me as to my futher study and career choices. I currently have a place at the Royal Veterinary College to study biological sciences in Septmeber 2017 and I hope that the experiences I have in South Africa will encourge and guide my abition to train as a Veterinary Surgeon after my first degree or they will ignite and bright to light new career opportunities which I had not been aware of before. 

I want to make a difference in the community by learning as much as I can about South Africa's wildlife, how and why we conserve them. In addition to this I hope to encourage my friends and family back home to get involved with conservation and animal projects back home after sharing my experiences from South Africa with them. 

I am passionate about this project because it combines my love of wildlife with my frive to study and better myself. I look forward to learning many new things and gaining as much as I can from this project. 

I chose Sotuh Africa because I am extremely excited to gain expriences with animals such as the big 5 which I have had very little contact with before. South Africa is a very diverse and interesting country with a lot of history which I am looking forward to finding out more about. 

This project is especially meaningful to me as my mum worked in Sotuh Africa as a groom and I would love to be able to share and compare experiences with her. Similarly, I look forward to being able to return to South Africa with qaulifications and experience to enable me to work.
