My favorite season would have to be spring. I’m not a fan of cold, and I love watching the world wake up to warmth. My job requires me to spend a lot of time outside which means I get affected by the seasons. I’m out in the scorching heat of summer, I wonder at theContinue reading “Season of Hope”

Heart of a Warrior
My favorite books when I was younger was definitely the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. I started reading them in Jr. High when my library ran out of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole books by Katherine Lasky (another series I thoroughly enjoyed). You can say I became a little obsessed with the Warriors series. I mean,Continue reading “Heart of a Warrior”
Daisies in the Grass
In a far corner of a zoo along, a long gravel road riddled with potholes, you find yourself at a few African bomas. They’re just simple, round buildings lined with sticks, but they keep the animals safe when not on exhibit. There’s five buildings in total–though you wouldn’t think them as such. Each has theirContinue reading “Daisies in the Grass”
Road of Jobs
If you looked back on your life and all the jobs you’ve done, what would you see? Is there a pattern? Do you even remember all the jobs you’ve a part of? Why were you seeking those jobs? My first job was working two summers on a children’s farm, walking ponies for the pony rides.Continue reading “Road of Jobs”
Question the Dream
When I was little, I always said I would be a veterinarian, and in my mind, I would be the greatest veterinarian in the world. I’d be able to heal any animal. I even remember making a sign for my bedroom door that said “Animal Love Vet Place” and I would take care of myContinue reading “Question the Dream”

What if they have a huge test thatContinue reading “A Day of Adventure”
You’re So Lucky
When you go to parties or catch up with old friends, one of the questions that gets asked is “What are you up to these days?” People usually talk about their jobs, and that can lead to a question along the lines of do you enjoy what you do? I’m a zookeeper. When I bringContinue reading “You’re So Lucky”
Play or Adventure?
I am a big fan of video games. I have series that I tend to stick to: Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Elder Scrolls, and Sonic the Hedgehog. I grew up with a lot of the games in these series. Playing these games was something I did with my brothers as kids, and I do inContinue reading “Play or Adventure?”
Reinvent to Green
If I could un-invent something, it would be carbon emissions. I’d take the brightest minds in eco-friendly methods today and go back to the beginning of our folly. I’d teach our ancestors how to better set us up for the future. Teach them the importance of all life on the planet, how much we needContinue reading “Reinvent to Green”
Writing Prompt: Wildlife Spotting
I have the luxury of working at a zoo, so I see a lot of captive wild animals every day I work from giant tortoises to lowland gorillas. Yet, I always stay on the lookout for the native wildlife in my area. We get a lot of opossums and raccoons that will sometimes mess withContinue reading “Writing Prompt: Wildlife Spotting”
