I love our county's 4H program and utilize it to the fullest extent I can. It's almost our whole homeschooling training.
We have a Vet. Science program that results in a Vet. Tech. Certificate. The same certificate can be achieved through the local college with a 2 year degree. Our program uses the same textbook Texas A&M uses. In fact, the chapter work and tests are sent to A&M and the kids' records are kept up to date. After all the assignments are finished and volunteer hours accumulated, then a veterinary technician certificate is issued. This is the same certificate as the college issues and the student can be hired by a vet.
All it costs is the cost of the book....$40. Our county paid half of that cost.
It has been so worthwhile for both my daughters.
Check into it!
Blessings,
Catherine

Wow, that is GREAT. I was enrolled in the 2 year program through Cedar Valley College in Dallas. It wasn't cheap!!!

Lifes not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.
Just a small town country girl, farmgirl,loggergirl, trying to live her dreams. :)
P.s. I've been playing around with the spelling of my name ( weird I know) and I've decided that I will stick with Hannah for good. Sorry I got you all confused. Hugs!! |
