My Biggest Dreams: Swim With Sharks

3. Swim with Sharks

"Many people continue to think of sharks as man-eating beasts. Sharks are enormously powerful and wild creatures, but you're more likely to be killed by your kitchen toaster than a shark!"

- Ted Danson

Everyone has dreams, I probably have too many, too many to actually fulfil  but one thing it for sure…I'll give it my best shot.

I love Sharks, I think they are one of the most wonderful, beautiful and misunderstood creatures alive today. I love how they are like the king of the ocean, but in every single film you watch, they are made to be the bad guy, always made to be the bad guy. 

Most people want to swim with Dolphins, I want to swim with Sharks, I think it would truly be a memorable and magical experience. I'd like to swim with Sharks at Typhoon Lagoon, or even cage dive with them, just so long as i get to experience this beautifully remarkable creature up close, I honestly don't care how this happens. 

"Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you're lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you're in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you are in the ocean and don't see sharks."
-Sylvia Earle

I do have one problem, one fear I will have to overcome before this dream could ever become a reality, that problem is my inability to swim. I've never knew how to swim, I had bad experiences when learning to swim when I was younger and I now have a fear of swimming, a bit of an anxiety if you will, something that I need to overcome. 

Sharks are remarkable, they are beautiful and misunderstood and one day I will swim with them!

Until next time!

Extinction is not okay.

Only six Northern White Rhinos are left in this world today. Only Six! This is not okay…

On October 17th, Suni, a 34 year old male northern white rhino was found dead in his enclosure. Although this had nothing to do with poaching, the fact that this creature is on the brink of extinction does.

People on this planet need to understand that each creature is just as beautiful and amazing as the next, we should be doing everything in our power to protect them, not take away their lives leaving them vulnerable.

How can people think that killing another animal for fun is the right thing to do? It's really not okay.

It really needs to end.

It's absolutely heartbreaking to know that human beings, people like you and me can cause something like this, can take away a beautiful creatures life and just continue doing it.

The worst part is that people like me and others in the world try and do everything that we can to try and stop things like this happening. Even by doing this, clearly we aren't doing enough, is it ever going to be enough? Are people ever going to stop harming other living creatures? People will do anything for money and it's sickening.

The world needs to change, so do the people in it. It's not the world that's a horrible place to live in, it's the people in it that are causing all of the damage that need to be stopped.

Action needs to be taken, things need to change…fast!

I hope that next time I post on this blog it's a happier post, until next time friends…
