To be like my hero, I would be involved with my community. I would help out a shelter, clean up a local park, and do community service like I am now through Key Club International. I would also go to zoos or animal theme parks to enjoy the unique animals we have on earth. I love the trust and love from animals. I have a rat terrier dog that is always giving me cuddles and kisses. With my dog, I have a greater respect for animals. Although she is not a wildlife animal it is a start. I want to expose how amazing animals are to people and how important our ecosystem is. Through high school I would learn biology and study life. In college, I would like to be in the medical field with people and/or animals, like becoming a vet, doctor or a nurse. As I grow up, I would like to go camping and travel around the world, to see animals that I have never seen before. If I go to Australia would learn about so many unique animals. Jeff Corwin is my hero who loves animals so much that he is educating the world one little step at a time.
