Fourth year student here. I'm fascinated by that first picture you took of the rabid dogs. Do the shelter staff wear PPE around animals with infectious diseases? How do you manage hygiene and limit the spread of pathogens? How was aseptic technique handled?

Current vet student here. Personally, the hardest thing for me was acquiring veterinary experience. This is an important part of the application, especially since you'll be competing against many other applicants with a lot of hours of experience, some with tens of thousands of hours. Find diverse experiences to learn if veterinary medicine is something you really want to pursue. Connect with supervising veterinarians who can write you recommendations. The veterinary application places a heavy, heavy emphasis on GPA and GRE scores, so work your butt off to get the best grades you can. That's really the best thing you can do for yourself as an applicant. Good luck!
