I am so excited!!! Last week I just got a phone call that said that I have been excepted by the aquarium of the Pacific to be a VolunTEEN! As a VolunTEEN I will be teaching the guests that come to the aquarium about the exhibits. I will also be showing them how to handle and interact with animals like sharks, mante rays, sea anemone, etc. while they are in the "touch pools".
Tomorrow will be my first day of training (I have to go for three training classes before I start working). Tomorrow will also most likely be the day that i receive my uniform and my name tag! I will take a picture of myself in my uniform and post the next time I write. Myself and the other volunteens are going to each have a journal that we write about our everyday experiences at the aquarium in. At the end of our eight weeks (the whole summer) we each have to use our journal entries to create a poster board about what we learned, what did, and how we benefited from the whole program.
I am working towards my doctorate degree as a Marine Biologist and that is why I wanted to be a volunteen at the aquarium. I know it will be an awesome learning experience and a wonderful chance to spend time with marine animals! I am going to take as many pictures as I can while I am at the aquarium tomorrow and post them as soon as possible!!
Also, my mom's birthday is on Sunday! Happy BIRTHDAY MOM!
