Someday I will ride a giraffe. Understanding that giraffes, resembling any large animal, are complex creatures I know not just anyone will ride one.

    In this world, there are several things that motivate me to want to “do” something, get me excited, and make me smile. One of the things that motivates me to do such things is wanting to make a change in the world through science. Whether it’s trying to find medicine or new inventions that improve the physical, mental, health and lifestyle of millions of people, I’m willing to do it with the help of science. One SECME activity that relates to the science field that I find to be fun and interesting is the study of animals, how they adapt to their environments, where they originated from, how their body works, what dangers do they face, and even seeing what animals are capable of.
