10.Dr.Ellen Bronson of the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore always wanted to work with animals.Unlike many animal-loving little girls,though,her first idea was to be a naturalist.If a naturalist is someone who sits in the woods and observes animals and takes notes,then that's exactly what she was doing at the time.Dr.Bronson grew up"in the middle of nowhere",and her parents didn't let her watch TV."So I spent a lot of time hanging out in the woods because there was not a lot to do otherwise,"she says."I had a funny notebook that my parents still have,where each page is about a certain animal."When she got a little older,being an animal doctor seemed like a better choice than working with animals in the forest,and the success in giving medical help to them satisfied her hugely,but she says that even the cases that don't work out as well can be meaningful."You also have the failures,which are hard at the time,but they help not just you but the whole zoo learn,"She says.
And,of course,another advantage of the job is getting to work with really cool animals."I really like the animals that feed on meat-they're very tough,and you can get them through hard times,"she says.
Finally,another advantage of her job is how often she gets to work with an animal over its life."We're there doing medical examination when they're born,we watch them grow up,"she says."And we watch them as they age.We help them age peacefully and help them be pain-free,and then we're also there when they die.That is something very special."

A.Giving animals medical help is always Ellen's dream.
B.Even failures can also mean something to Ellen.
