Shanise. (Vet).
I graduated from Cambridge University, with a master’s degree in veterinary medicine in the year of 2044. I didn’t know where to go with my degree, as it was still a decision to be made, so I decided to complete a 2 year internship at a small veterinary practice, to help me make up my mind. Although I enjoyed my time there, I knew it wasn’t for me and that I needed something with a bit more adventure involved. I often thought about going into veterinary practice with wild animals, travelling the world and helping endangered species, but my specialism was domestic animals, and I didn’t have the time or money to go back to university to complete a post-graduate degree.
In the year of 2048, the year in which the last tiger on earth died, I was called to serve in the in an armed conflict after almost two decades of cold war. By this time, I had served in the royal veterinary corps for almost 2 years, and had been promoted as captain of the 108 MWD squadron after my probationary year.
After the war, a peace treaty was signed which declared that all nations were to partake in space exploration. It was then when I knew what I really wanted to do. When the position came up on the ship that was going to colonise a newly found planet: Gliese 581 g, I jumped at the chance, and completed a year’s astronaut candidate training, in order to qualify for the space mission. It was then when my career really took off.
