Receive Text UpdatesShe loves exploring nature, learning about animals, and protecting wildlife. In 4th grade she attended an outdoor school where she spent every day outside hiking, observing plants and animals, and learning about the environment. That experience made her even more curious about the natural world and inspired her to keep exploring and helping protect wildlife and their habitats.
Her favorite animal is the dolphin because they are incredibly smart and use sounds and body language to communicate with each other. She loves how they work together and seem to understand one another. Dolphins also live freely in the ocean, which she thinks is amazing. Their intelligence, communication, and freedom make dolphins her favorite animal.
Her favorite outdoor activity is scuba diving because it’s amazing to see a whole different world underwater. She loves observing fish, turtles and other ocean animals in their natural habitat. It feels exciting and special to breathe underwater and explore a place that most people don’t get to experience. It makes her feel like she’s discovering a hidden world.
