I want to work with animals. As in, health, care, grooming trainee, and wildlife preservation.
I tried taking a college course but found out I need better computer skills. My heart and mind wants to help the animals that I've always loved. I'm hoping some place would be nice enough to help me get my foot in the door. I can always run a kitchen but 47 years is quite enough.
