Abused Animals

I have always been looking out for animals all my life, and soon as I was old enough I started volunteering at a local Humane Society. In the past two years that I have been working there I have seen a lot of dogs and cats come into our shelter. The main issue is that people mist treats their animals, and a lot of times we get really sick and skinny dogs that have been abused and sometimes even used in dog fights. The dogs that I have seen mist treated the most are pit bulls. Since that time I have put in the most effort I can to save any animal that I could. In addition I started to specialize in pit bulls as they are the ones that are mist treated the most. I would like to start a pit bull rescue so I can help the animals that need care the most. I would defiantly take in different breeds than just pit bulls.

Media Experience

The media experience that I had happened out of nowhere when I was walking my dog through the forest. I always have my digital camera on me, even though it weighs a lot, but that day it was worth it. I suddenly realized that before me was the most beautiful view ever, and that camera allowed me to stop time so that everyone can enjoy that view. Some may say so what it’s just some trees and a dirt road, but to me it was the most magical view it. You know that it will be the most beautiful view when you feel that happiness in you that positive energy.

"Weird Food"

On my fist trip to South America, I went to Peru and Ecuador. I was a rat looking thing roasting at a local market. But I soon learned it was not a rat but a guinea pig. Now never I tried to eat in because it didn't look so good when it was on a wooden stick roasting over an open fire and you can even see its teeth. And my second reason was that it is their traditional food, a delicacy. Like in America for an average American it’s a delicacy to haven a hamburger and french-fries but not there. The burger industry would go broke there. Also another unusual food that I experience is Ceviece it’s kind of a raw fish delicacy in Peru, man they really love it there. I think that foods that I just listed would be considered the most exotic things I experience and would call “Weird”. When I was in South America I got very use to the fact that when I ordered chicken soap I would get the real Chicken soup the one that would have a floating in it chickens leg, that still had its three feet and claws attached to it. I always wondered what USDA would do if Campbell soup company would have a leg floating in its caned products. That kind of startled me at first, but at least they don't waist anything. Oh I almost forgot in my old country the Czech Republic they have this cheese, buts it isn’t like any other that I have ever smelled. It has such a horrible smell to it that I would rather sleep with a yak than go anywhere near that stinky cheese. But the horrible part is that people in my old country love.

Getting to know me

I grew up in a small country in the heart of Europe the Czech Republic. I immigrated into the United States at the age of ten with my parents. Later on in my journey of getting an education I discovered I had a passion for computers. That lead from one thing to another I left a normal high school to attend a technical school. At the technical school I excelled quit rapidly when my teacher noticed that she told me about a program called the Career Academy. The Career Academy allowed high school students to attend college and got to high school at the same time. I was very exited but soon learned that it was a lot of work, but one of my professor gotten me interested into multimedia and I started loving it. Now I don't leave the house without taking a camera with me. With the busy schedule I have I always make some time go to visit my most favorite place in the world the Humane Society of Marion County.There I get the chance to play and help some of the most wonderful dogs and cats in the world. The shelter is also where I get some of my leadership skills, even though I am only a volunteer, I am responsible of community service people. Community service people are people that have been issued community service hours by a judge, the reasons why a judge gives the hours is for the crimes they have committed. I know we would think that the people with community service hours are all under 17 but it is not so most of the people that I have to be in charge of are anywhere from 13 to 50 years old. At first it was very challenging for me to do this duty, because where I come from it was disrespectful to tell adults what to do. Also at one point in time we had inmates from jail working at our shelter which I was in charge of as well. I am kind of shy at first but it rubs off as soon I get to know someone and then I am just a really friendly person. When I am working at my shelter my boss hardly has to tell me what to do because as soon as I see something needs to be done I do it without asking. I also would like for everyone to know that I have a best friend and he is the bentest friend anyone can have his name is Domino, yes he is a vicious pit bull but I love him to death. He is not the only thing that I enjoy doing I love to take nature pictures. I am not sure what drives me to take them but I find them relaxing when you can look at a scenic view and you look at and see pure beuty.

My parents always were big explores and when I turned 15 I went with them to south America for the first time in my life. It is not a normal traveling experience , because my parents are professional backpackers all they travel with is a small backpack. They have introduced me to it and I love, since that 15 the birthday I have always went backpacking somewhere for the whole summer. Some people are addicted to drugs and smoking ,but some am I to traveling it’s just so thrilling to find out learn different cultures of the world. The people are also so friendly everywhere, and you can’t forget the good food they have everywhere, and also some really weird food.
