About this user
About Me: Hey there, my name is Jenna and I want to someday work with marine mammals as a trainer at a marine zoological park. I interact with whales, dolphins, seals, and sea lions at a number of zoos and aquariums especially at the Mystic Aquarium in CT. During the fall, we go whale watching off the coast of Cape Cod where we see humpback whales and other New England marine mammals.
"Our hope is that you have a passion for the animals in this world we all share."
--Ken Peters
"Sharing SeaWorld's animals with our guests is my favorite job responsibility. I absolutely love allowing people to get a little taste of what I do on a daily basis."
--Chuck Cureau
"A man on a horse is spiritually as well as physically bigger than a man on foot."

"You will love with your heart what you see with your eyes."
--African Proverb
"For in the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught."
--Baba Dioum
"They are wonderful animals, they've got a lot of character and personality. When people walk into the oceanarium and see the belugas, it's often hard to tell who is watching whom. The whales see kids running around, people of different sizes and shapes dressed in different ways, and I think they find that entertaining."
--Ken Ramirez
"I dive straight into the heart of a miracle."
--Laura Surovik
"If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth".
--Chief Seattle of the Suquamish Tribe
" The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it." - Jacques Yves Cousteau
"Fear less, hope more;Whine less, breathe more;Talk less, say more;Hate less, love more;And all good things are yours." --Swedish Proverb--
"As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams".
--Daniel 1:17
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. "
--Psalms 16:11
"Where great whales come sailing by, Sail and sail, with unshut eye, Round the world for ever and eye" ---Matthew Arnold
"Younder is the sea, great and wide, which teems with things innumerable living things both small and great.
There go the ships and Leviathan which thou didst form to sport in it."
---Psalm 10:4
"Then one whale began to sign: and a second, and a third. Soon the mewings, creaks, and whoops filled the water. Some of the performers were close, and some where far away. And, because of the underwater canyon, the sounds echoed two or three times at inervals of five or six seconds. It seemed almost that one was in a cathedral, and that the faithful were alternating the verses of a psalm"
--Jacques Cousteau in "The Whale"
