We didn't have pets growing up because my mother was scared of animals.She transferred some of this fear to me.It's not common that you find someone who's scared of animals but wants to be a vet.Still, I knew this was what I wanted. The vet school was nothing like I had imagined.Within the first few weeks, any fear I had about being a vet vanished.In the fourth year, we were introduced to surgery.I loved it.Stitching wounds was like a satisfying game of Tetris(俄罗斯方块), where all the pieces fit beautifully together to make something broken whole again.It solidified(巩固) my belief that this was the right fit for me. These were the most challenging and rewarding four years of my life, and before I knew it, they were over.I was officially a veterinary surgeon(兽医)．Surprisingly, I felt empty after I finished.Why wasn't I excited to move on? I had completely forgotten to think about what would come next.I felt as if I had spent the last decade of my life writing exams and working crazy hours only to come out on the other side, completely clueless. There were so many options to choose from.I could start a clinic, work at another practice or even pursue further studies.It was my father who suggested I travel to gain some perspectives.I hesitantly decided to spend some time in New Zealand with my aunt who also happens to be a vet. New Zealand is beautiful! I finally had a chance to think about what I wanted.One of the vets there allowed me to observe his practice.Working with vet nurses really impressed me.We don't have vet nurses in India! It is a blessing to have such experienced and dedicated individuals as a part of your support system.After a whole year of what felt like aimless wandering, this experience helped me decide I wanted to work overseas. So, to all the other confused vets who haven't figured things out: It's completely okay to feel confused! Most people feel the same way at some point in their careers.Don't be afraid to try new things even if you feel difficult or impossible. 语篇类型：记叙文　主题语境：人与自我——个人职业倾向 语篇导读：本文讲述了作者如何成为一名兽医，以及成为兽医后的一些领悟和感受。 (　　)4.Why does the author mention Tetris in paragraph 3?
