Through the Work-Based Learning program at FBHS, Gracie interned at Chestnut Mountain Animal Hospital as a vet tech. She is currently studying Biology at the University of North Georgia, and wants to attend the University of Georgia\'s veterinary school to become a Vet. She still works at Chestnut Mountain Animal Hospital and has been promoted to vet assistant, where she assists the veterinarians in the treatment of animals, performs blood draws, takes x-rays, does dentals, and she even monitors surgeries. Gracie states: \"Having started this job so early has benefited me in the hours of experience I need to attend vet school in the future. I have even started to pick up shifts at my local animal ER (after day practice hours). At the ER I have learned that it is important to be fast but efficient with every patient that walks through the door. The ER environment is completely different than day practice and that is another reason I enjoy working at the ER, too. I am so glad that WBL encouraged me to find a place to work at that would benefit me in the future.\"
