Arianda's Story

My passion is marine science.

I think my biggest push towards my passion is the ocean itself. When I'm in the ocean, I feel a sense of peace and one with the world. When I see how the marine life is expanding and can use assistance, I strive to help in any way possible. Some of my favorite shows growing up were always shows about the ocean and the environment. One of my favorite was "The Blue Planet: Natural History of the Ocean." I've also always liked the bohemian/surfer look with sea shells and corals. Little things that I've noticed I liked as a child reflect this passion and the love I have for the ocean and its creatures.

Attending this camp will just fuel the drive I have for marine science. I know that experiencing first hand the labors of this career will aid in my path towards what specific field to choose and where the best place to achieve this goal will be. This would be an unforgettable experience for me because living in a very urban area has limited the possibilities for me to kindle the adoration I have for marine science. Lastly, I believe that attending this program will greatly benefit and further enhance my understanding of what I will be looking forward to later in life as a marine biologist.
