B. (Main Point #2) My Zoo Corps shirt represents my passion and my future career. I. (Subpoint #1) Sometimes animals are just better friends than humans. They are just really great listeners and I have been passionate about them since I was very young. I grew up surrounded by animals. I found this passion that my family kept asking me for when I was younger. I began volunteering at different animal programs and I realized that it would make a very happy person to work with them everyday. 2. (Sub-Point #2) I found my passion and now the hard part was turning it into a career. Like I mentioned before I am still inspired by my grandmother and I wanted my choice of career to reflect that. So I joined a program named Zoo corps where a small group of teenagers have the chance to go out in a uniform and teach the guests about the San Diego Zoo. I love doing this because it combines my passion for loving animals and teaching like my grandma did. I love this program so much because it provides experience for my future career that I am very passionate about.
