In the last few years I have realized that my passion for
conserving the environment is a natural calling that I am destined to follow. This intuitive notion solidified
while visiting my mother in Maryland a few summers ago. In my old bedroom my mother has kept framed
memorabilia from my childhood. One night before I went to sleep I looked on the bed-stand to find an old
article that dated back to my third year of elementary school. After rereading this article thirteen years later,
with a smile, I recognized my destiny is and has always been devoting my career to the conservation and
preservation of our ecosystems.
