Personal Narrative: A Career As A Marine Biologist

Ever since I was little, my dream was always to be a Marine Biologist. Marine Biologist seems like such a fun and interesting job I would love to part take in. My Aunt is a Marine Biologist and I feel she had a great impact on me when deciding that Marine Biology is something I really want to go involved in once I’m older. I also have a goal with my life to do something that makes both me and my mom extremely proud of me. “Yeah, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life” Those were the thoughts going through my head when I first walked into the Marine Center with my Aunt while she was going in for work. Seeing so many people together working on finding a way to save these marine animals and seeing all the different types of animals they all get to work on had me in awe. It was so amazing. Something else about that place made me feel very comfortable. Everyone was so nice and smiley and they all just seemed generally happy. My mom always told me when it comes down to going to college and learning about something for a career I want to do, to make sure it makes me happy and

Another thing I wanted to do was be a teacher but I knew those weren’t the goals I was completely aiming for so when I discovered how Marine Biology made me feel, I also discovered that a lot of marine biologist are also teachers or college professors during the time where things start to get slow. I plan of receiving my master degree in college to become a Marine Biologist. There’s a lot of personality traits a good marine biologist keeps to contain and I personally feel like I have them all. One of the biggest ones are to be able to enjoy the outdoors and have a love for scientific experiments and have a patience to repeat them. Also my aunt told me in her work field, everyone are very strong communicators. I find those all to be traits I’m pretty good
