Undergraduate / "just go back in the cage..." - An extracurricular activity essay [6]
Okay, thank you for the criticism!
I elaborated more in this new version. I wanted to know if it can flow better or if there's any incorrect grammar? (or if I should just start over again.)
Filling out the application to volunteer at my local SPCA, I had it in my head that all I'd be doing is playing with puppies and kittens. Months later after my first day, I've found it's a lot more work and dirty than I'd imagined. My job mostly pertains to walking the dogs, each one with its own unique personality, making each walk a new experience. Also, no matter the weather exercising the dogs is mandatory. Let it be a blizzard or raining quarters, I have the dedication to go for a stroll. I've had to clean up after dogs (which is never pretty), feed them (most have their own special diet), and even do their laundry by washing their bedding. Although it can be a stinky and exhausting job, I've learned to look past it and see that hardwork can be really fun.
