Our raft is rocked violently was we crash into the raging current and lone rocks. We paddle at hard as we can to keep our craft from smashing into the jagged rocks along the shore waiting to devour us like a great white shark. Our adrenaline is pumping as it does for anyone experiencing his or her first White Water Rafting trip. A small trip to North Carolina with my family turned out to be one of my best-remembered experiences. I push off from the shore and hop into the raft as I feel my shoe drag

College essay for a student hoping to become a marine biologist Sharks have been sharks for 409 million years. That is to say‚ they haven’t changed‚ not one bit.

I chose this particular episode mostly because I like animals and everyone loves
