Dear Vet Tech,
I don’t think I’m ready to say goodbye to something that has meant this much to me. What started as just trying something new my freshman year turned into the place I grew the most, laughed the hardest, and found some of the best people in my life. It’s not just the end of a season, it’s the end of something that shaped me into who I am today.
Thank you for the memories I’ll never forget. From laughing in the car until we couldn’t breathe, to somehow turning eating playing cards into a core memory, to always being terrible at sheep breeds… every moment mattered. Even the chaotic ones, especially the chaotic ones.
Thank you to my amazing teammates throughout the years. You were always there for me, always giving me a reason to smile, and always pushing me when I needed it most. There were times I wanted to quit, times it felt too hard, but you never let me. I’m so grateful I got to spend every minute with you guys.
And thank you Verar, for everything. For laughing with us, driving us, sometimes mocking us, and most importantly growing with us. These years would not have been the same without you.
Vet Tech taught me so much more than just skills. It taught me how to be myself, how to push through the hard moments, and how to truly enjoy the good ones.
Chico field days will always have my heart, and honestly, I’ll even miss the 5-hour drives to Fresno. I never thought I’d say that.
My last field day may be over, but the memories, the lessons, and the people will stay with me forever.
PS: Sorry Josh… had to get you out during the purge 😌🐾💙
