Last Day of Young Naturalists
Reflections from the Young Nats on their last day:
I came into this program shy and scared to talk to anyone, much less guests. After six amazing weeks, I am a completely different person. Now I’m not afraid to be different, or to be goofy, silly, loud and confident. Young Naturalists truly taught me to be myself. Over these weeks, I have met many different, amazing people who have made an impact on the way I see myself and on the way I want to be. I now know I can accomplish more than I ever thought possible. – Emilse A.
To put down everything I’ve learned on a single sheet of paper is impossible. From the field trips to the floor experience, and everything in between, there was not a single day that I can look back at and say I didn’t have fun. I’ll always remember the octopus as the tease of the ocean, and the sea otter as the most challenging but also the most rewarding animal. – Mountaga T.
Someone once told me that I hold the key to my future. By learning that what I do and say has an impact on others, I have realized that I can make a difference. Thanks, Young Naturalists! – Connie W.
My coworkers weren’t just coworkers; they were friends. My bosses weren’t just bosses; they were teachers, mentors and friends as well. I feel I am walking away from this program with more than public-speaking skills. I’m walking away with a new family. – James P.
This job was a great opportunity and a fun learning experience. I gained so much from the job. I only wish it were a longer program! – Artasia J.
