My love for animals has grown ever since I started volunteering at the WCAS. I've learned so many valuable things, such as animal overpopulation and what we can do to prevent this issue. I will definitely continue to volunteer at the shelter. Since I will be finishing my last year of college this coming year, my schedule may get extremely busy, preventing me from volunteering at the shelter as much as I would like to. However, I have decided to continue as a WCAS volunteer no matter what. When I was a child, I always told my parents about my dreams of building an apartment complex in which homeless people would be provided necessary means of living and pair each person with a homeless animal to care for. I would also dream of having my own "Dog Sanctuary" on my own farmland. As you can see, I always had these dreams of helping homeless animals, but as I grew older I also grew out of these dreams. This course has given me the opportunity to actively serve my community and the many homeless animals of Wake County. Now that this passion has been refueled, I don't want to give it up. There's something so fulfilling to the human soul about helping homeless animals find homes.
What you have written in this post is so inspirational! I hope that you are able to achieve these goals because they would really benefit so many! And I absolutely love the photograph Professor Johnstone took of you and Helga Higgins! Not only is it a beautiful image of human (you) and dog and the relationship between you too but the lighting and background is breath taking.
Thank you Shelby and Pauline! I like how you used this photo to discuss dreams and passions. It gives this photograph more significance with the halo light and the bond between you and the dog.
Your post brings tears to my eyes. I am so glad that this course has rekindled a childhood dream. Dream on and to quote Jack Johnson, "don't let your dreams be dreams."
