"You can do anything, the only obstacle is yourself" — Author Unknown. This quote can describe our family in
a nut shell.
In 1984, I left Cuba as a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine and came to the United States as a salesman, janitor,
and caterer. These jobs were not going to be my career. I was determined to get my license, no matter how
many years I had to study. In 1994, thanks to the indescribable support of my wife and children I was able to
make that dream a reality. Though the beginning was hard I have never regretted it. It not only taught my
children how to be humble and humane, it also made me appreciate the small steps I took to get where I am
right now; no, where wF& are right now. For this is a family owned and operated business. This business would
not exist if it not had been for them.
For almost ten years I have based my business on the street. For I provide house calls to my patients. Though
it has gone well it is now time for that next small step. Every Doctor dreams of one day opening his own
practice. You will not only make my dream come true but also my son's. For you see he has less than year to
finish veterinarian school.
We respectfully request to be placed on the next available City of Miami Commission Agenda for the purpose
of petitioning the Commission to recognize Aguiar Animal Hospital as a service enterprise.
Thank you for you r attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Robert Aguiar D.V.M
