My Friend the Shark

Paris Andreou Hadjipavlou, 8

When I grow up I want to learn a lot about sharks and protect them. For now me and my little brother remove from the beach plastic bottles and garbage so that they do not harm my animal friends. I also draw sharks all the time and try to spread awareness! Maybe I have hundreds of them. They fill me up with excitement and joy.
