What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreI love how beautiful so many different places can be. My favorite places I’ve been to are Yosemite and the beach. I like seeing how the plants and animals work together in their habitats. I’m learning about the rain forest in school and I really want to go one day! I just love being outside and exploring, I love to be able to run and collect rocks and find animals. When I grow up I want to be a paleontologist and a geologist and teach other kids about how cool our planet is.
I have three favorite animals: the Peregrine falcon because of how fast it can fly when hunting prey. Cheetahs, I really like their spots, how they anmbush, and how fast they can run. Komodo dragons, they are so cool and even though they are not as big as some animals they are fierce when they battle.
My favorite outdoor activity is going for a hike to find new animals, plants, and collect rocks. I also really like to swim.
