About

Hello, my name is Sam and I am 18 years old. I recently graduated high school with both a diploma and my Associate degree. I will be attending Mississippi State University in the fall. I am going into their pre-vet program and am hoping to transfer into their veterinary program when I finish the pre-vet one. I have always wanted to be a veterinary surgeon.
