Wow! I bet you really love participating in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as one of their teachers. I can imagine your adventures in the deep blue sea and studying different aquatic creatures. I'm pretty sure that all of your students really love your teachings about marine creatures. I wish that I can join your organization because I love learning new things. I also have a passion on teaching other people. Maybe if I have a spare time, I will sign up and join your group.
