We usually do a fun activity this time of the year for Earth Day. This year our teacher assigned us a class project to help save the world. I wanted to work on something to help families recycle their trash. I started doing my research at the library when I saw a book titled: Save The Sea Turtle: An Endangered Animal. I sat there for at least 15 minutes looking through the beautiful pictures and reading about how the sea turtle was endangered (they are about to disappear/only some left). I read that they would soon be extinct (they would be all gone) if we do not do something to help save them. My heart sank when I read this. That was when I knew what I would do for Earth Day. I decided to conduct more research on this topic. I found different organizations and decided to write to them to ask what I could do to help. After a few days, I received a call from a lady named Jackie, from Sea World. We spoke for 30 minutes, and she invited my family to visit and learn more about these endangered species. I told my teacher, and she was extremely proud of my dedication to this project. After visiting Sea World and conducting a few weeks of research, I was ready to present my project to my class. I had created brochures, posters, and a presentation to get everyone involved. I even had approval to start the “Save the Sea Turtles Fundraiser” at my school. The most important thing Jackie told me was that awareness would help these creatures and many others that are endangered. Many more people are now aware of these beautiful creatures and will join in the fight to save them.
