My name is Mia, I'm 18. I grew up in a small town surrounded by nature. Since at a young age, our home was like a zoo—we cared for horses, ostriches, camels, storks, and even peacocks. This taught me compassion and shaped my dream. Now I live in the Netherlands, studying to become a veterinarian. When I'm not busy with classes or learning Dutch, I draw animals, play guitar, or go swimming. Moving here has been a big change, but I'm grateful to follow my passion for animals every day.
