Personal Narrative: My Passion For Animals

Ever since I can remember, my one driving force has been for animals. I was the girl who was obsessed with helping a hurt or lost animal, and always curious about the creatures I found in my backyard. I have a devoted passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and plan to spend my future saving them and their habitats. I want to help the people of our world understand that animals are not ours to use and abuse for material use, food, and entertainment. First with saving animas comes saving their habitats. For the way we are advancing in the technological and industrial world is not sustainable; due to human activities, we face a world with no fisheries, coral reefs, or rainforests; declining oxygen concentrations, the loss of honey bees,
But the most amazing thing about these animals was their capacity to love so deeply those who come to visit them day in and day out. These creatures were the most magnificent, inspiring beings I have come in contact with. After that much too short trip, I am determined to continue rescuing animals, restoring their habitats, and giving them a life they deserve to live. My heart lies with tigers and other big cats, and in my future I plan to own a sanctuary of my own that rescues, rehabilitates, and hopefully returns big cats back to the wild. These are things I feel strongly about, and that is why I believe I belong at ESF. Along the way I hope to help as many other animals as I possibly can and I believe spending the next few years of my life learning and experiencing wildlife at ESF will give me the knowledge I need to be successful in doing so. I know that I would be surrounding myself with like­minded individuals, who share my passion for discovering more ways to live sustainably and make our planet be more ecologically
