Personal Narrative: Marine Science

Decent Essays
Marine Science has always been a particularly fond past time of mine. Ever since I was the mere age of three, while sitting in a bathtub, I had an inseparable fascination with the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. From the otherworldly giant tube worms situated on volcanic vents, to the serene basking shark meandering through the current, all of it showcased the diversity of the world beneath the surface of the waves.

    Marine biology has always been a passion of mine ever since I first heard about it when I was four years old. My family has a deep-running connection to the ocean so when they realized how interested I was in science, they suggested marine biology.

However, the more I read, the more I became completely and utterly engrossed in the subject which eventually shaped me into what I am today.…

Since I was about sixteen years old I have said that the day I turn thirty years old, that I want to die in a shark attack.
