Question
I have a learning disability but I have very high marks high 80's and 90's in every subject.
I work my bum off and I know I'm smart.

I want to SO BAD be a vet, it's my dream, I am really good at biology, it fascinates me so much, so I'm just like naturally good at it lol. I am okay at math, I am getting like a 94 % in math but I do struggle with the concepts (my mark is so high because I get help and review concepts a lot).

My question is I'm going to get my bachelor'ss in Biology and then apply for vet school, I know itscompetitivee, but it's my DREAM, like its all I think about and I should be able to do it right? With a learning disability its possible? Please give me some hope!

Answer
There is hope and a learning disability should not get in your way.  If you are confused or not keeping up in a subject, get help before it affects your grade.  Also, do some volunteering in the veterinary field.  The more experience you have working with animals, the more dedicated and interested you will seem to be.  This is important when you are trying to get into medical school or any kind.
