Next, our teacher, Mrs. Badura, led our class to the aquarium. As I walked in, I saw this huge tunnel that was surrounded by the ocean. As I entered, it felt like I was walking across the bottom of the ocean. I was underneath the ocean with schools of fish and stingrays swimming side by side. There were giant turtles and jellyfish gliding next to the coral reefs. It was beautiful. But what I really loved were the sharks. There were a number of sharks in the place too and as a kid I was crazy…
