Dr. Nathan Monson visited his uncle (who is a veterinarian) when he was three years old. After he came home, he began telling everyone he was going to be a veterinarian when he grew up. Although Dr. Monson is not sure if he has fully grown up, three-year-old Nathan would be proud and not surprised to find out that he graduated from Iowa State University in 2008 and has been a veterinarian ever since. He began working at Morganside in the spring of 2020, so there is at least one good thing that happened in 2020 [citation][3]
