Legally Blind Texas Student Defies Odds, Gets Accepted into Veterinarian School

Being legally blind did not stop Faith Snapp from pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian. After getting admitted to the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine, her inspirational adventure continues.   "As far back as I can remember, my family has raised horses and goats," the 22-year-old Texas native said. "I always loved animals." ~ Faith Snapp According to Snapp, she and her twin brother had very low vision at birth and were born prematurely. Snapp's right eye can only perceive movement, and she has less than 10% field of vision. She claimed that while she has problems seeing far objects, her left eye is slightly better at recognizing forms, colors, and large text. She never considered her restrictions to exist. In high school, she became a member of many groups and was given a guide dog. She added that working at neighborhood veterinary clinics was difficult at first because of her disability.   "I just needed to find the people and the accommodations and the places that would be willing to help me," she added. "That was a little bit challenging because I think often people place limitations on somebody with a disability because they assume that they are limited."  A quality to be noted about Faith's Personality ~  She is full of empathy towards Animals & she thinks about limitless possibilities to channel that. For humans, empathy—the capacity to comprehend and experience another person's feelings—is a complicated sensation. The concept of empathy, which is defined as "the ability to sense other people's emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling," is crucial to comprehend for this reason. We become progressively less sensitive to the misery of other people as a result of the ceaseless onslaught of violence, death, and suffering in the media. Since animals need our care, attention, and assistance, this can also be related to the human-animal link that many of us experience. We may naturally feel the same kind of passion for animals as we do for our children. Because they are incapable of simply helping themselves, we feel an irrational caring for them and a want to assist them. Adult humans are seen to be capable of standing up for their rights and protecting themselves when in danger. Her Pursuit For Snaching The Ultimate Career Goal ~  In August, Snapp will begin classes. She stated that taking care of both big and small animals as a mixed-animal veterinarian is her ideal career. "If someone has a dream or goal, do not give up on it, because no matter who you are or what your circumstances…anything is possible," she continued. "I just hope my story can help others realize that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to." Yes indeed, life is challenging. The world is evolving quickly. Many people feel as though things are spiraling out of hand. It's easy to give up on your dreams when circumstances outside of your control seem to be determining your fate. However, your present times are the moment more than ever to pursue those aspirations. Nobody ever begins their life feeling hopeless and miserable. Youngsters are full of aspirations and desires, but as we get older, life begins to get in the way. We grow to believe things that make us weaker. We experience setbacks and failures. Don't give up on your goals just yet, though. I believe it is extraordinary in what we do, not who we are. We all set out to make our marks to find adventure towards our success ~ but instead we should be thankful for all the hardships and volume of mistakes in our path of achieving purpose in life.  Takeaway ~  TOP REASONS NOT TO QUIT : The simple way out is to give up on your aspirations. Allowing other people or your circumstances to control your life may seem more comfortable, but you will never be fulfilled in this way. A vital aspect of the human experience is growth. You are dying if you are not growing. Although achieving success is the ultimate aim, the experiences you'll have there are equally significant since they satisfy our innate need to grow as people. Pursuing our ambitions leads to life and personal development. You never know when anything may go right for you. The greatest effects may come from the tiniest adjustments. Your next achievement is always only two millimeters away. Your big break may be just around the corner. When you're so close to realizing your ambitions, never give up. Key Reminder: Don't delay in acknowledging your achievements. Each day is precious, filled with accomplishments, no matter how small. After devising a strategy, remember to celebrate the smaller steps that leads you closer to your ultimate goal. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude for what you already possess; it will attract positive energy, propelling you towards your aspirations. You'll constantly ponder the possibilities. Everyone has regrets, and nobody wants to be like them in the end. They are the ones who are mired in the past and preoccupied with the possibilities of the past. If you give up on your aspirations, that's where you will ultimately wind up. The payoff is substantial. The sensation you receive when you finally make an outstanding life is unmatched. You'll be eager to get out of bed every morning. You'll have unending happiness and plenty throughout your life!
