Hello! My name is Ben, and I am a junior in high school. I am also a lover of the Zoo, which I have been going to for pretty much my whole life. The Zoo is where I learned to love all the different species of animals on this planet. This internship has given me a great opportunity to help me learn how to give back to these incredible animals.

I am a pretty outgoing person who enjoys anything that has to do with nature. If I am not doing any homework, one of my favorite places to go is La Jolla Cove, where I can snorkel, freedive, and interact with all of the wildlife. I have always had pets and animals around me. My family has had many different pets, from tortoises and frogs to dogs and fish.  

I enjoy researching and learning about physics, from quantum theory to the formation of stars. I am currently a medical anomaly, and not playing sports at the moment. I do enjoy hobbies like, surfing, being politically active, and learning new things. I am a part of the academic league at my school and a club that I have created, Get Out the Vote Club. It is a club that helps inform my peers as well as others about the importance of voting and being politically active.

With this internship opportunity, I will have a chance to teach other people the importance of conservation and helping the wildlife, and I will have the chance to apply this new knowledge in the form of a future career. Hopefully, I can make the world a better place, even if it is just taking the first step of many.
