Blog Post #20: Thankful
Honestly, I am thankful for many things in my internship experience. I am thankful that I got the chance to be around an amazing staff who truly love their jobs and who have such an amazing attitude and awesome personalities. All the staff have been so helpful and nice and its been great. Another thing I am thankful for is just the whole experience of working with different kinds of animals and learning so much about them. I love how I got to feed Sapphire and I was introduced to animals I have never heard of before or seen in person. I've learned to appreciate how much work it actually goes into caring for aquamarine animals and how much work it actually takes to manage an aquarium place like the Birch Aquarium. Before all this, I didn't thinking it was hard to feed the fish and clean their tanks but it actually is a lot of work, effort and time. I have also learned to appreciate the local animals we have because the LCDC has a lot of animals who are non-releasable because of the mistakes us humans have done so I have been trying to be smarter with how I take care of the earth.
