Personal Narrative: Becoming A Marine Biologist

451 Words1 Page

My dream career would be becoming a Marine Biologist. I traveled a lot when I was younger and still continue to. Which is what started to lead me to wanting to be in this career. Another aspect being put into this is I joined swim at a very young age and have always loved water. One of the final aspects is I love animals, especially marine animals. I have always thought that they were the most in danger, they cannot speak out for themselves or show any actions to stop in. They aren’t easily seen to the public eye and a large number is still undiscovered. So they are easily overlooked and even if they are being mistreated no one can see so most don’t care. So I thought why not find a career that can help them, interacting, collecting data,

    ...derstand from a writing assignment point of view, that the interview and reflective paper were probably more about specifics of a particular career than the generalization I have made of “it”. Concretely tying the pursuit of a degree specifically to a new career would make a nice conclusion to this paper. Maybe getting the degree is just part of “it”. Certainly pursuit of a BA in General Studies, because I don’t have a degree can’t hurt. I do not know what my ultimate niche will be in the marine conservation field. Certainly there is dependence on doing it full time, as opposed to part time. I already have decent credentials, two thousand hours bottom time doing fish surveys, excellent underwater photography skills, and excellent diving skills. Sometimes I get disconnected from “it”, I just need to stay connected, and “it” will take me where I want to go.

    Has it really been a year? Yes in fact it has! I can't believe that today marks a year since I was walking into orientation for volunteering at the Georgia Aquarium. If you would have told me that I would be able to memorize facts on all of our mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and Georgia Aquarium itself, I would have said you were crazy and that there was NO way possible. It's been a wild ride so far but at the start of this whole experience, I didn't know what to expect and to be honest I had thoughts of fear going through my head as well. What if they didn't like me, what if they thought I was a joke, would this just be another place that I would be picked on. So many emotions were going on that day, but I can thankfully say every

    When I was a university student about two years ago, I enrolled in a scuba diving course. My scuba diving teacher had a big surprise: I didn’t know how to swim. In fact, I had a big fear of water. When I was a child, my parents tried to help me, so they made me take many swimming courses. Although I tried hard, I did not learn to swim. When I enrolled in the scuba diving course, I was still afraid of water. Every day when I entered the swimming pool, I battled with my fear. Fortunately, my courage won every time. Finally, one day while I was practising my dive, I realized that I did very well. So, finally, after six months of hard work, I completed the course. It is true that I was always the worst of the group, but in my own evaluation,
