Veterinary School prepares you for a basic understanding of the anatomy, physiology, medicine, pharmacology, surgery, etc., of a variety of animal species. What it doesn’t prepare you for is LIFE. Life has many facets to it besides veterinary medicine. Many of the challenges faced on a daily basis result from lack of the ability to Organize your Life in general. A large portion of life management is also Time Management.
