Project Exploration


What is something you've always desired to learn more about? I've always had strong interest in animals. I used to dream of becoming a veterinarian, but I convinced myself that this would not be a good profession for me, since I feel sick over the sight of blood and open wounds. I also think I would feel horrible seeing suffering animals everyday. I would like to do something with animals still, maybe even a volunteer service. So, if I had a chance to use school time to become an expert about anything it would be about caring for animals.

When I was younger, I used to think that I had some kind of a connection with animals or even insects like caterpillars, moths and butterflies. This sounds weird, but I used to love to catch frogs and tadpoles. On summer nights, a lot of times moths would make their way into my house. Some of them would land on my finger and stay there, so i could walk around with them. I felt like they were comfortable with me. I kinda felt like one of those animal lovers that have their own shows, like the Crocodile Hunter. I had several hamsters one of which was my favorite, named "Fatso". I swear he was the coolest hamster ever!! I had a doll house and i would put him in front of it on the floor and he walked up the steps onto the top floor; I thought it was amazing!! Now I have a dog, Hazel and a cat Sparkle.




P.S. Whoever reads this is probably laughing at me because I sound like geek. lol

    Not many blogs make me laugh, including my own, but yours honestly made me chuckle. I had no idea that you have such a sense of humor and that you are so adept at painting pictures with words. The image works because it is so darned specific - the fat hamster waddling up the stairs of the doll house is hilarious, just like the "tame" insects landing on your finger.
