I was in biologie bachelor degree in France at Angers, I wanted to be ethologist and doing a master after,but a lot of things change.
First of all, my first year at the university wasn’t very good ( my grade were bad), so i decided to dotwointernshipsto enrich my file, I went to a rescue center in the south of France for turtles! I was so excited and it was a very good experience and afetr this one I also went to another rescue center for farming animalsin Belgium, very enrich also. I spend 1 month on each. And I pass my first year.
After this 2 internships, I was sure to work with animals,but I wanted to keep going with university. Unfortunately, it was a disaster, for me it was very complicated, I don’t like to learn without practise. I think it’s more easy, my brain learn betterthat way.
Then I start searching something new, Iwanted a break of university, and Ifound (actually my mom) on the site of «service civique»Drazi Agria Zoi. I applied without knowing if Iwill be accepted. So between this application, as you guess I didnt pass my second year. However, Drazi agria zoi accepted my application, soI double my second yearand askedto the univeristyfor a gap year, and they said yes.
I was so happy when I knew that I will come in Greece. I was very excited about that and I will never regret it, because it’s the best thing that happened in my life!
If you hesitate to come,I assure you that will not be disappointed.If you like animals, if you care for them, if you like to meet people, if you like to give your time to help them, to have great moments, to have a new family, it’s here!
It can be very stressful,not knowing where your going,but you have one life so do it!
