My younger daughter, the one I refer to as Gothgrrl on the blog, has always loved elephants. From a young age, she told me she was going to grow up and get a job taking care of elephants. I never told her she couldn't do that, but I said she might have to expand her focus to take care of all animals, if she wanted to work in a zoo or something. I guess she showed me. She is working on a degree in zoology, and is spending the summer interning in an elephant sanctuary in Thailand. She's the one in the middle. She found the place, got the job, received a grant, and made all the arrangements herself. I couldn't be more proud.

Love it. That is a perfect example of following your dream.
good for her, you taught her well.
What a great kid. Most people never find their place in the world and actually get to do it. She looks so happy.
That is so cool! What a fabulous thing to do!
This is so beautiful! To me she feels like family!
Well done! Do what you enjoy and you will never work a day in your life.
How great! She is clearly mature beyond her years, knows her own mind, and is willing to do what's necessary to achieve her dreams. You did a great job, raising such a mature young woman!
Congrats to her, and congrats to you, mom.
What a wonderful opportunity! Focus pays off.
Well done! We need more go-getters like her.
Wow! That is amazing. So glad to see a young woman who knows what shw wants in life go out there and grab it. Well done both of you!
Good for her!
