What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreNature makes me feel happy and peaceful. It’s like a giant playground where everything is alive and full of wonder. I love the way it smells, like fresh air and flowers, and how it sounds with birds singing and leaves rustling. Nature is so beautiful, and I hope we can take care of it forever so the animals, flowers, and trees stay safe and happy.
My favorite animal is a capybara because they are so cute and funny! They look like giant guinea pigs, but they’re even cooler. I love how they have such big, round faces and little noses that wiggle. Their fur looks so soft, like a stuffed animal I just want to hug. Capybaras are my favorite because they’re really good at being friends. It’s like they’re the nicest animals in the whole world.
Swimming is the best because I get to play so many games. I like to pretend I’m a mermaid with a sparkly tail, diving under the water to look for treasure. Sometimes, I try to see how far I can go without coming up for air, but not too far because I don’t want to run out of breath! I also like to float on my back and look up at the sky. The clouds look so big, and it feels like I’m flying.
