Wow!

I cannot wait.

Number one reason I am on a travel swim and dive team are the faces of whales and dolphins who love you to bits. : D Straight A student, (planning to stay that way) and continuing to persue my dream to become a killer whale trainer, throw whatever you want at me, animal training is hard, life is harder....

I WILL be a killer whale trainer. I hope it comes true for any one eles also. : D

Fish spines in your fingers, I am fine with that. Scrubbing alege, I am down ~.0

@kittykattbabaii all the whales and dolphins in japanese aquariums should be sent to US aquariums.

[kittykattbabaii]

@KingsProduction50 AGREED!

[KingsProduction50]

@kittykattbabaii one country that should NOT have aquariums with dolphins and whales is japan because they EAT them

its been my dream since i was 6 to become and orca trainer, but as i live in england that dream of working with these animals will mean i'll have to move over to the states as they dont have places like seaworld here anymore :(

This was my dream, too. I wish I had decided to go for it instead of thinking it was too much for me. I hate public speaking and I was told they didn't make much money. Now, looking back, it would have been worth it. If this is what you want to do, go for it. Even if you think you can't do it now, you can always work up to it. Practice really does make you better at just about anything. If this is your love, take the steps to do it. Don't let anyone tell you it's not practical. Enjoy your job.

My dream job!!! i am currently a swimmer and runner going into my senior year at high school. I plan on attending the exotic animal training and management program at moorpark college. I know for a fact that my dream will come true... I just have to always keep working towards it. I feel that there is no job more rewarding than interacting and playing with the top predator of the sea. I hope all who dream of this job keep working hard and that all your dreams come true.
