Why am I taking English 101?

The short answer is that English 101 is a requirement. To be more specific, it's more than a requirement for my undergrad. Vet schools also require an english class as part of their "pre-vet" advising. Even though english is not a science class, being a veterinarian is more than just chemicals and anatomy. Having such title means you are a DVM; you've completed thee to four years of undergrad and four years of graduate/vet school. Last time I checked, six to seven years of college means you need to do a lot of writing. Not only that, english is also about communication and how we present our thoughts and ideas to others; whether it's through an essay or discussing the next possible treatment for an on-going disease.
