Important news from Hannah (and request for help)

[little_fish]

In case you haven’t heard, I’ve been accepted to the Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine. So I guess dreams really do come true.

Big dreams also have big costs. By the time I graduate in four years, it will cost $200,000 for tuition, fees, and living expenses. It’s not uncommon for new vets to be in debt for a decade or more before paying off school.

So I’m trying a unique approach to pay for my post-graduate education. I’m willing to contribute two years of volunteer service to Veterinarians Without Boarders or as a Peace Corps Vet if I can raise enough funds to get through school. Another option is to contract with a qualified company for employment after graduation if they will pay tuition & expenses.

My project is called, OCCUPY VET SCHOOL (www.OccupyVetSchool.com). Check out my website to learn about my proposal and how to contribute. There are also lots of fun animal photos from my work at the RioGrand BioPark (a.k.a. Albuquerque Zoo), various vet clinics where I worked, and my own kennel.

Will you will help me get the word out? Here’s what you can do:

1. Email a link to my website (www.OccupyVetSchool.com) to friends, family, and anyone else that might be interested.

2. See my Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Occup...14799065271251) and post a comment.

3. Please LIKE both these sites to share with your friends and contacts


If you have time to post a notice about my quest to news outlets (newspapers, TV, and websites), blogs, animal groups, companies or anyone else that could help pass along my message I would really appreciate it.

And, of course, a nice note about what a sweet, hardworking, smart and dedicated woman I am would be appreciated (my dad wrote that J). Thanks so much, and please remember…

Hannah Turner will OCCUPY VET SCHOOL!

PS: And don’t forget to send in your “What Animals Say” photos (check out the website and you’ll get it).

"wieners are cool" that is such an awesome picture!! Way to go on the different idea, it's awesome! I hope it works out!

 

[little_fish]

Thanks!

If you can share the links and the facebook page, the more people that see this, the better chance of this succeeding. And there is MASC link on the about page, because you guys are awesome

 

[hurrafreak]

You got it!!

 

[dv3]

i havent checked it out yet but i bookmarked them and will soon ....very ambitious of you .....never know till you try!

 

[Cake_Boss]

You can always join the national guard, 100% tuition....just sayin

 

[little_fish]

I cant actually, I have type I diabetes, which automatically excludes me from any military service. Which sucks because they do cover tuition 100% and I would have no problem serving in the military for 5 years.

 

[hurrafreak]

Hey I didn't know you had diabetes! My wife has type 1 and was mad because she couldn't serve in the military lol.

 

[little_fish]

Ya, i would have loved to have gotten one of the military scholarships, but I cant so, im being creative

To Diabetics United!

Hey Hannah,
I like you on Facebook and put the word out to my friends. I also know someone that works with animal communicators, maybe she will link you to them. I will support you in your cause.

Just spent the evening reading your website, http://www.OccupyVetSchool.com.

I am both fascinated and envious!

Bump.

I'll have to check it out.

 

[SAZAMA]

what about just going into debt for ten years,like the rest of us? LOL. good luck! awesome idea!

 

[little_fish]

10 years would be great! And thanks for giving my site a look

Cool idea! Here's another thought that came up. Lots of new crowdfunding sites are popping up where people are raising huge amounts of money if their project has the right type of appeal. I think you could be really successful at this, particularly with the commitment to volunteer afterwards. Here is one site to check out:

I have actually done a few and the people who are successful tend to be people who already have lots of local support, I never really did well and the only people who donated were my family members and that resource is 110% tapped out. I might try it again in a year when I can show what I have done and more about what I have accomplished. I will also have some neat pictures from Africa which will hopefully inspire people to donate.

Fix your link in the OP because it's not going to the right place. I found your page by doing a search on "Occupy Vet School", then it came up.

Good luck Hannah, this is all awesome! I'm so jealous you're going to Africa too! You're really living the dream, good for you. I might go to CostaRica on a Bio school trip this Spring Break, hopefully...

My link above works.

Her Facebook link in #2 in the OP? Not her regular website link, that's fine. I just tried again and it said "Facebook page not found". If it's just me than ignore, heh.

Oh. No you are correct. Her Facebook link doesn't work.
