AFA Leaders Conference 2018
Hi everyone, this is Ashley Long writing about the AFA Leaders Conference. The AFA Leaders Conference stands for Agriculture Future of America and is a conference for the top 800 selected pre-veterinary medicine students in the United States. It is a great honor for anyone selected because there are hundreds of veterinary medicine companies from around the world that will be giving talks to all the students based on their interests in different parts of the career.

Life of a Pre-Vet Student
Many people ask me what is it like to be a student who wants to become a veterinarian. Do I do it because I get to play with animals every day? It is honestly on a rare occasion that students in the pre-vet track get to play with animals because of the amount of work we do. We are on the same level as medical students because we take the same classes, but we just deal with animals rather than people. That is the only difference that I can see, but a lot of people have tried to dissuade me from continuing the path of becoming a veterinarian because they believe that all we do is play with animals.
