Who am I? What has inspired me to become a trainer?

Hi, I am Alberto. I am new to the Blogger community, and it is great to be able to have my own blog

I really want to become a dolphin or whale trainer at SeaWorld. I would like to tell you the story of what got me into this field.

Way back in 2003, I visited SeaWorld Orlando with my family. We didn't get to see the killer whales, but we got to see the dolphins, sharks, penguins, and we did go to the Wild Arctic. Since that day, the memory grew on me to the point where in 2006, when I was just finishing ninth grade, I found myself browsing around the SeaWorld website. I eventually found a link to Shamu.com (it's now just a page with webcams). On this site, I read what trainers had written about how much they loved their jobs, and I started thinking about being a trainer myself. Finally, during tenth grade, I went to Miami Seaquarium with my sister, dad, and cousin. I saw the two dolphin shows (Flipper show and Top Deck show), the sea lion show, and even Lolita the killer whale. I began to realize how fascinated I was about these animals and the way trainers trained and cared for them. With that, I decided that I should be an animal trainer.

Today, I am following the steps that will lead me to this goal. SeaWorld trainers have one the most incredible jobs, and it's my dream to be in their shoes one day.
