About
Hi, I'm a teenager that is very much into anything to do with animals.
While I love all the cuddly ones I also have a passion for reptiles and most all aquatic life.
I was always fascinated by the jungles you see in shows and movies or even the stories in books...
As time went on I continued my passion for animals and started becoming more interested in marine life and deep oceans. This was the beginning of my journey into aquarium keeping. After seeing marine ecosystems at a young age in scientific shows I took a break and then a few years down the road became more intrigued with limnology (the study of freshwater ecosystems). While I didn't show my passion for this as much, I was still very curious about the biology of rivers like the Amazon and mountainous rivers as well. I started seeing aquarium setups and immediately fell in love. When my parents saw that I was genuinely interested they helped me along with getting my first betta tank set up which didnt last long at all but it got me even more motivated to try again. So the next time I got a better setup, more closely relating to a river.
Looking at it everyday keeps in my mind that you can complete what you dream to achieve.
The only issue and blessing of completing a dream is... Having new ones
