Abigail Porter of the Beloit FFA Chapter in Kansas has had the goal of becoming a veterinarian since she was four years old. To reach this goal, she started volunteering at a local vet hospital at age 11. In the ensuing years, she has learned to tend to client needs, run the computer system, maintain the vet clinic, and communicate with coworkers about scheduling. Porter can also balance feed rations, assist in surgeries, administer medications and operate equipment. Porter is supported by her parents, Angela and Stuart.
