My project will be based on this subject but a bit more on the positive and brighter side. I chose four different characteristics and likings that started with the letter m to describe myself. These four attributes I picked are marine life, mindful, music, and meticulous. The great open ocean or “big blue” has always intrigued me since I…

    We went on the balcony to watch the shark in the ocean. It was now swimming to the sandbar. We noticed the sandbar had a lot of stingrays on it and they were in groups. As my family and I were watching we noticed that they had left and went to the deep water. We were relieved when we saw that happen. It would have been a very traumatic moment if someone would have got bitten by the…

Living right next to the water makes it easy for us to just jump on the kayak and go, and we had a good chance of seeing lots of different organisms and critters out there. There were southern stingrays, nurse and bonnethead sharks, and barrel sponge, to name a few. But today, we were to find something different. Something exquisite. The full moon glistend down on the sea like a spotlight as Dad and I glided through the glassy water. As he…

Even experts acquire a few weaknesses they may need to work on; however, I…

    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 about sharks.…
