Crocodile Hunter

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

Steve Irwin "Croc Hunter" was a person I look up to. I admire his work as an educator. But he’s not an educator that just read a book to you about Crocs or snakes. He makes it really interesting. He would go near the croc and make fun of it and he even gets chased by the croc! Now that’s a real educator. Every time I watch Animal PLanet, I always see him. But when I heard about his death 2 weeks ago, I felt sad, but also that his life wasn’t wasted. He did a lot of climbing, swimming, and hunting just to let us know more about certain animals up close. One of the funniest part I remember was him running fast and sliding down with the Penguins on his stomach. He was like racing with the penguins downhill. Man, that was funny! I learned a lot about him especially about crocs. How crocs hunt, how to catch them, and how they move. I’m sure he was able to achieve his goal—- to help the endangerd animals and to tell us more about them. I hope that his son or daughter will be like him in the future. He really is one of the people I admire and all I wish is that someone will continue in his footsteps. I’m really proud of him. Never in my life had I seen a Man so daring to go near a dangerous animal that one mistake would either injure or kill him. He maximized what he has and what he can do. I hope all of us can be like him too. Not a croc hunter, but to do best on what God has in store for all of us.
