Not all students know their career path before graduating high school. However, a freshman assignment served as a defining moment for Sonja Perry.
“There was an essay for my first day of freshman year where I said I was going to become a large animal vet, and I was going to work at the Bowling Green Veterinary Clinic,” Perry recalls.
Two years ago, the 27-year-old graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and returned to Pike County and the clinic with DVM behind her name. “This has been the game plan from very early on, Perry says. And I m just really thankful that my dream came true.”
