A typical day at work for Cesar Millan includes taking a four-hour jog with 40 dogs, large and small, young and old, and none of them on leashes (缰绳).Although most of these dogs belong to him, the rest are troubled dogs sent to Millan to learn good behaviour.Obviously, Millan has a special gift for working with these animals.
Growing up on a farm in Mexico, Millan knew he would work with dogs.His first job, at age 15, was helping a veterinarian (兽医).He was so good at calming scared dogs and handling all kinds of situations that people started calling him 'the dog boy.’ Since then, he has built a rewarding career around his favourite animal.
Studying dogs on the farm where he grew up, Millan realised they need a lot of exercise to be calm.He explains his approach; "Exercise and discipline (纪律) first, and then affection!" He says a lot of people get it wrong because they do not realise what dogs really need.Millan does not only train dogs, he also trains owners to understand that their pets need rules.He has helped celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith and everyday people too.
At his Dog Psychology Centre in Los Angeles, California, Millan also works with dogs whose dangerous behaviour has prevented them from finding homes.He teaches them to be loving gentle pets.Viewers can actually see the change in dogs with troublesome behaviour on Millan's TV show The Dog Whisperer.
To find the right career, Millan encourages kids to do what they enjoy."You can always find a job.But I find that happiness comes when you follow your passion.Success followed me because I was following my dream of being the best dog trainer in the world."

Try to visit every school you are considering before applying Off-campus life Don’t let a lack of fund block your search See the campus when it’s alive with activity—warts and all College tour is a good choice Be proactive |

It is high school spring break season—and if you are a junior (or an overachieving sophomore), chances are you will spend a chunk of your vacation wandering around college campuses with super-enthusiastic, backwards-walking student tour guides.
“As a parent who recently went through this process, I know how stressful these visits can be for both the student and the parent,” Taylor said. “But on the flip side, they can be fun and exciting, as well as offer a great learning experience and a time to bond.”
__________________
For students who live far from schools they are interested in, but who may not have the money for personal visits, start by visiting colleges in your area that are similar to your schools of choice. For example, see first-hand how a large, public campus differs from a small private school.
__________________
Too often students will choose a college based on word of mouth or one that looks great on paper. But once they arrive, they immediately know it’s a mistake (or the right one!). There are many aspects of campus life that you can’t understand until you actually set foot on campus—such as the surrounding areas, the energy of the students and the quality of the facilities. By visiting beforehand, you’ll assure that you apply only to colleges where you’d actually want to spend four years.
_________________
To get a true feel for a campus, you should try to experience it on a typical day—when classes are in session and the campus is a buzz with activity. Try not to visit on a weekend or during the school’s spring break, if possible.
_________________
Since much of the college experience exists outside classroom walls, students should take note of the school’s immediate neighbourhood and of the available amenties in close proximity to the campus—affordable restaurants, museums, movie theatres, concert halls, and shopping areas.
