Personal Narrative: My Life As A Marine Biology

When thinking about getting away to some serene paradise to help forget about work or school obligations most people instantly think of the beach. Whether it be the west or east coast the beach is a universal symbol of peace and serenity, plus a little bit of fun. But this bliss has a whole different meaning to me. This is where I grew up and how I found myself. The west coast of Florida is the first time I felt the sand in my toes and the salt water on my face. These memories inspired me to give back to the ocean and its inhabitants and follow my dreams of becoming a marine biologist.

Have you ever had something so scary you just stayed there frozen, while this is the story of that happening to me. #Its starts with me being super happy about snorkeling in the line waiting with my family and other people at Disney World. The people in front of us were talking about stuff, but at first I wasn’t listening.

I lived in Key Biscayne for over 14 years as such some of the most amazing memories I have as a kid was going to the Miami Seaquarium with my mom one the weekends. I loved watching all the spectacular shows from all the marine animals. I swore that I would be a dolphin trainer when I grew up. Well that changed. In seventh grade I watched a movie called BlackFish. For those of you who haven’t seen it, this movie is a documentary that showcases the horrors of the sea-park industries. After watching that my dreams of being a dolphin trainer were all but extinct. After watching that documentary any dream that I had of becoming a dolphin trainer was all but extince. Nowadays sea-parks, zoos, and even normal aquariums have become popular places of

It was near the end of winter 2005, when my grand-aunt suddenly fell ill. In a short period of time her illness worsened and the doctors informed my family, my grand-aunt only had a couple of months to live. The news was devastating to my family as we watched a vivacious, independent, and outspoken woman, who enjoyed shopping, reading mystery novels and spending time with family become very weak and confined to her bed. Instead of placing my grand-aunt in a hospice facility, my family and I, with the assistance of a hospice nurse cared for my grand-aunt in her home until her passing.

My grandma is my inspiration and the person who taught me what great education and hard work can do for you. Maintaining my studies, being a student athlete, and having a job is a constant struggle, but it is of the utmost importance to me to strive for independence in all aspects of my life.

When I was a child I watched as my grandfather passed away after battling with Alzheimer's

When I came into the Corps I was and still am a scrawny kid; five feet seven and one hundred twenty pounds soaking wet. I came to the Corps to be challenged physically and mentally, however, I was not prepared for what I was getting myself into; I joined the Fighting Texas Aggie Fish Drill Team.

My team and I was starting to play the game and we were up to bat first. I was the sixth in line to bat so it felt like forever for me to bat and once you're up there and the ball is coming at you, you just want to run away from the ball. When I hit the ball I ran as fast as i could and i could feel the wind carry me to first base. Then it was our turn to field and once you're out there you can just feel the tasteless dirt in your mouth. When you make a good play it makes you feel all good inside.

I am known to be extremely clumsy. With that, it’s expected that I often end up in awkward situations. In the past I have called numerous teachers “Mom,” fallen down while walking up stairs, almost fallen off a cliff; and it can be assured there were many more instances where my embarrassing clumsiness had led me into awkward, sometimes life threatening, situations. One moment that stands out in particular takes place in every marine animal welfare activists’ “favorite” place, Sea World.

At the end of the day Reef got into Franks truck and head off to the rehab center to say goodbye to Leeza. Leeza hadn’t been the first one Reef had to say goodbye to, Alex left the home to go be with his parents, Scar off to university with the scholar ship she received after graduating high school, Reef had been proud of Scar, she was smarter than the others and proved it,

When I graduate from high school I want to become a veterinarian. My love for animals just grew because I lived on a farm most of my life and I worked with dogs,cats, cows, parakeets and many other animals.When they got sick I was always curious why the animal was sick and wanted to know more. That’s why I am interested in pursuing to be a veterinarian since I love animals and enjoy working with them.

Cancer, you have heard of it, that horrible disease has taken away two of my family members. one of them died long before I was born. Today you will read about the one of my loved ones that died most recently in my history, my grandmother.

The career that I will be discussing and reviewing is a veterinarian. Veterinarians examine, diagnose and treat animals, prescribe and administer animal medications, take cell and tissue samples and perform diagnostic tests,and perform surgery on animals (Veterinarian Job Duties). In other terms, veterinarians are like doctors but for animals. “The scope of veterinarian medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species” (Veterinarian medicine). The top goal for veterinarians is to keep animals healthy and safe, and to prevent diseases from happening. That’s why your cat, dog or any animal that you own gets many shots. I choose this career because I

From an early age I learned that our very best is often brought to action when we willingly take on challenges and persevere with grace through trying times. As a widowed, single mother, my mom strove for excellence in every area of her life in order to put food on the table for her children. She studied to be a nurse, quickly rose in to administration, became the first in our family to obtain a Masters in Business Administration (MBA), and earned a seat as a director for an international healthcare organization. Her determination and positive spirit served as a great example and sparked a passionate drive in my life to help others while striving for greatness.

During childhood, I took enjoyment in reading, school, and the arts. Escaping into books and my schoolwork would be my escape from real life. Since school was the priority in our household, there was little time for extracurricular activities. Similarly, through my high school years, determined to make my mother proud, I pushed myself to succeed. Above all else, college was the goal
