Hello again, Anna !
It is wonderful to be helping you out today and I am happy that you're coming here for advice !
As I've previously mentioned, the MAJOR you would need would be ANIMAL SCIENCE, not Biology. As you've inquired about Texas A and M, I advised that it's a great school and offers the Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate for Animal Science.
I'll repeat that the college in your state that offers ANIMAL SCIENCE is The University of Arizona. Note that Arizona Western College is more for the agricultural, animal production niche and I am not sure that is the field you want. Before you start looking at colleges, you really need to take a step back and figure out which exact career you want in order to know which college has which program and what path you need to take. Do you want to be a veterinarian ? A Veterinarian Technician ? An Animal Caretaker ? They all have different paths. You don't have to choose a specific career just now, but it would help that you start figuring out colleges and Major Paths once you know the exact career you'd want. The various Animal careers require certifications and or Licensing so you may want to consider college in the state you hope to work in. This is way too far in advance of being in sixth grade to be figuring out. It's perfectly normal to not know an exact career or what college you should go to. Give yourself time to first figure out if your goal is to be a Veterinarian, Veterinarian Technician or Animal Caretaker.
In your other inquiry to which I gave advice, you stated that you're having stress right now. This may be happening because you're seeking answers before having the most important question answered by you - what career do you want to go into to have your dream career with animals ? There really is a lot of time for you to think about this and not rush steps.
There's a lot you will experience and a lot of things that happen and people you will meet in the next 7 years before you go to college. Let things play out naturally and once you decide the actual career with animals, it'll be the time - and easier- to figure out colleges for Animal Science, not Biology, because "Biology" will be Human Biology in a college.
You are awesome because you are giving your future some thought and seeking advice. Remember my story from the other post in which I mentioned that I too was 6 years old when I realized the career I loved, but waited till I was 18 to start. With an interest in animals that you have, you can begin experiencing it now through volunteer work and clubs or extracurriculars. Middle School is definitely a time to live in the moment and enjoy the activities you do.
You do not know the opportunities or preferences you will have 7 years from now, so it may be interesting to look into colleges for now, but things change over the years with colleges and opportunities. Give yourself time to figure out one thing at a time and that will bring forth the knowledge of what to do next.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best moving forward !
