Hello, I'm Sammy!
I am really passionate about animals and animal rights! For as long as I can remember animals have been my passion. As a kid I've always wanted to be a veterinarian and help animals anyway I can. I would be outside constantly observing animals and how they work together and the things they do because they fascinate me so much. Now I can proudly say that I'm am shadowing weekly at a vet office for dogs, cats and exotics and it is one of the best experiences of my life. Seeing all these animals get the help they need makes me happier than anything in the world. At the moment I have two dogs and two cats which I love with all my heart. Both of my cats are strays that's I've rescued, nursed back to health and kept. Ive lost count of how many birds, squirrels and other animals I have successfully found, nursed back to health in someway and released back to the wild safely.
Nothing breaks my heart more than seeing an animal of any kind getting abused in someway because they deserve so much better. Animals are intelligent and amazing creatures and I strongly stand against any form of animals abuse. Now when it comes to food and necessary resources, do you thing but I will fight to the end on why hunting for fun is wrong in my opinion. And it also makes me so enraged that people are killing off so many animals to the point that they're species will never walk this earth again. So many species of animal have gone extinct because human kind doesn't realize what they're doing.
But all in all, from a bee to a fish to a dog to an elephant, animals are such amazing creatures and I'm so passionate about them and helping them. We should not hurt them for unnecessary reasons or trade them unfairly, instead let them live and help them and study them because some of the things they can do and the intellectual levels they can be at are outstanding. Thank you so much for reading this, it was so nice to talk about something I care about so deeply, and even if I don't win, it's was fun. Have a great day!

I am Applying for:
-Rares
-Wl Pets
-Any fennec foxes


Hobbies can be seen as interests don't you think? My interests therefore my most favorite hobby is art. Although it may be a style most college realism artists may see as 'not art' I still really enjoy it and find it an art style that originated from japan.
Art is what I see as a way to escape the real world since it is very cruel and often just a drama filled nuisance. I also draw for gift reasons such as birthday gifts or just anniversary gifts since my boy friend loves my art. I usually get paid for the art that I create and mostly its due to me advertising with my ocs which some are created from cs pets. so any pets that I win from this, depending on the design and if I like it enough will be put forward to advertisement for money. of course I wont sell them because obviously if I make them into an oc it means I REALLY like them and it will be so very difficult to give away.
So thank you for your time and for a chance at these wonderful pets

hiya! Here's my essay❤️

What am I passionate about? I'm gonna be honest I had to stop and think about this for a while. So many things ran through my head, but there were two that stood out. drawing and writing. I've been writing stories since I was very little. Of course my writing was not good then. You see, I'm not an athletic person at all. I prefer staying inside and reading a good book. My goal for the future is to hopefully become a author. I've written stories that are over a hundred pages, and I love to look back at them and improve.

Now drawing... I won't say I'm an extraordinary artist but I'm not that bad. -a little insight on me (should have done it in the beginning, but eh)- I'm an only girl in a family of 4 older brothers that all moved out and 2 dogs, a husky and a Pomeranian named Spartacus and Thor, who are my everything. I get very stressed and depressed about school especially around this time because of finals and such. Anyway, that's all im gonna say about myself. Back to drawing/art, one of my brothers was an amazing artist and I will never be as good as him, but when we were younger he used to teach me how to draw better and give me tips that still help me today. I'm not good at these things, but thank you for the opportunity! ❤️

I have a large passion for my friends. This is going to be rather hard to explain overall so I will break up why they mean so much to me in a paragraph each, even though they require many more.
Aeryn;
I love and adore her more than worlds can portray. Her art had me falling out of my seat the first moment I saw it and her love and compassion had me set on becoming her friend. She happily started up a chat with me and continues to months later. Again, I cannot put it into words how much I enjoy being her friend and how lucky I am to have met someone such as her who loves to show me new music or the newest art project she is working on. She is someone I can share my passion for art and writing with and I truly hope she feels the same towards me. If she ends up trying out as well please, for all is good in the world, read through it with the same love I do. She deserves something like this more than me or anyone else i've met.
SerenaPink
I've known her for almost 8-7ish years now and I couldn't have asked for more. I feel we've really helped shape each other into the people we are today and she's sure as hell made me a better person. She has been supportive of me my whole life and I her, which isn't always something all friends can do for each other. We have shared so many personal and meaningful moments together which I hold dear to my heart. She has still remained one of closest people to me, even with us being a whole 24 hour flight away, all these years later.
MadyKatYT
Ah yes, the related one. We aren't sisters but it sure feels like she could be. We are actually cousins but it feels like we could be twins due to our birthdays being mere hours apart (December 10th and 11th). She is someone who is close to me both literally and figuratively. Since we were small we've been two peas in a pod, we always got along and shared the same interest or something of similar interest. She is someone I feel I can share so much of myself with whether it be how i'm feeling or what TV show I am binging this week. She also lives across the world from me now a days but like Serana, we are close as ever.

I am applying for:

Global Warming Essay: New Conclusion Added

Postby luc » Sun May 07, 2017 11:18 am

    I am infinitely passionate about activating for global warming and making those around me understand the toll global warming is taking on our beautiful planet because this planet is the only one we have. The topic of climate change has been the subject of fascination and scrutiny these past few years by the media, but these conversations hang on the speculation aspect of global warming and stay far clear of the reality of the situation. Although no geological or natural evidence will indicate that Earth has stayed the same these past 4.5 million years, there can be no denying the grand scale change that is happening right now. One cannot deny the effects of global warming because we can see how global warming is changing societies and lives at this very moment. At this very moment as our Earth's average global temperature rises, in turn, so will sea levels due to the melting of ice sheets. These rising sea levels pose a direct threat to the livelihood to island nations across the world. According to the United Nations’ publication, Climate Change and Migration Issues in the Pacific, the effects of climate change in the Pacific will intrude on the three basic securities of land, food, and livelihood. Take the island nation of Kiribati, which has a population of 112,423 people, for example, is expected to under is about three decades. These people of the Kiribati survive have villages already survive behind rocks and sandbags and, with sea levels expected to rise a staggering nine feet by 2050, the home of an entire people could fall beneath the waves.

    It's not even just the sea levels that we have to fear, it's the storms that will be more powerful due to global warming. According to NASA, "Storms feed off of latent heat, which is why scientists think global warming is strengthening storms. Extra heat in the atmosphere or ocean nourishes storms; the more heat energy that goes in, the more vigorously a weather system can churn."
    Hurricane Sandy, which hit New York City a few years back and cost $65 billion dollars in damages is said to have been exacerbated by global warming. No, global warming will not increase the frequency of storms, but it can be known that these storms will be running on more vigor to destroy.

    In spite of the gargantuan amount of evidence to back up climate change, it is often chalked down to being merely a hoax. However, this is a fallacious way of thinking, as there is no way that a stunning 97% of climate scientists are participating in this hoax. But, this truth provides us with a scary reality - that the world that we were fostered upon is rotting through the consequence of our action.

    There's nothing more important than this planet we all live on and it is our duty to protect it. Look at the sky, swishing with clouds and sea-blue colors so brilliant they might be paint on a canvas. Look at flowers, so bold in their colorfulness ranging from sun-gold to fire-red to purple as the edge of rainbows. If we continue to not care for our planet then it will fail us.

    I'm passionate about this subject because I'm passionate about the Earth we live on. It provides for us and in turn we should provide for it. I'm passionate about the Earth because of the amazing, kind people on it and majesties abound. If the collective whole of humanity dies in one fell swoop to global warming then you will lose the opportunity to gaze open the blue-tinged mountain where a bed of snow lies, to languish in the ocean, to look upon a shimmering sunset one last time, and to grace the presence of the people you love for years to become.
    -

    Thank you for providing me this opportunity, I didn't really talk about why I'm passionate about this but I had a feeling it came across! My passion and sincerity often come through not just through talking about my passion but advocating for it and providing facts and that's what passion is for me! (:

Postby Jiloon » Sun May 07, 2017 11:37 am

Hi, I'm Jiloon, and this is my essay about my passion: horses!

My entire life, I've had interests that have come and gone, but the one thing that was always constant was my love for horses. Well, equine in general, but especially horses. My earliest memories are riddled with pony rides and then riding lessons, one of my favorites is learning how to hold the hoof pick so as to have the most leverage to clean my pony's foot. Whenever I recall my childhood and teenage memories of horses, I almost always have happy thoughts come rushing back. There are, of course, a few sadder memories. I remember my second rescue horse, who really was too gone to help. We had him for a few days and made his last comfortable before he left this world. Since then, I've been so motivated to make the lives of horses and equine better, and to introduce the magic of the beasts to anyone who will listen. (cheesy, I know, but it's true!)
When I was in my late twenties, I opened my own boarding stable/private rescue/farm "thing". I started with my personal horses and a few lesson ponies, plus some friends who needed boarding for the horses. After a few years, my place became really popular for a bunch of reasons, and I was certain that it was the kind of work I was supposed to do. Since then, it's been well over a decade, and I'm still going strong. Even though I have almost an entirely new barn of boarders and friends associated with my place, I still have about a dozen that have stuck around, for one reason or another. Now I have a bajillion horses, ponies, minis, goats, dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and even a few lambs now. I did have a few doubts though, and harder times, that almost crushed my passion..
About seven years ago, I rescued eight horses-6 mares and two geldings-along with a pony mare, from auction. Turns out the pony and five of the mares were pregnant. The pony had a healthy foal, and two of the mares did, but the other three became tragedies. One mare was in such horrid condition, that she died in birth and the foal was stillborn. Another mare was fine but had a stillborn, and the third mare had her foal and seemed fine, but the foal had a heart valve missing and perished, and the mare died of complications that are a little gory for CS. Long story short, even though I should've had six new lives along with the eight horses, I had lost two mares and three foals. I didn't think I was fit to rescue any more, but less own horses. I was incredibly stupid and sold off some of my favorite horses, and rehomed those rescues. After a few months with some major support, I convinced myself it was just a disaster waiting to happen that I stumbled into, and I regained my passion. I was also in a car crash two or three years ago, just after I had twins, and suffered some broken bones. When I healed enough to get back onto a horse, it bolted and dumped me, breaking me further xD Of course, at the time, I didn't think it was funny. I once again lost my passion and drive, but eventually regained it.
That's all in the past though, and now my love for the beasts I love and call horses is stronger than ever. I have tons of friends that I never would've met, and would probably despise, if it hadn't been for ponies and horses, mules and donkeys, minis, all of them! I absolutely love each and every equine that I've come into contact with, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with horses and equine by my side. They're my favorite things in the world, and the only passion of mine that has persevered through anything that life has to throw at me!

Okay I'm looking back and it looks like a sob-story, so I'm sorry about that, I don't mean it to be! I just wanted to talk about how my love and passion for horses continues through anything and everything, especially since my others haven't. Ah well cx

Applying for:
1. Sunback
2. Orange Cerb

Thank you for the opportunity! And good luck to everyone else ^-^

♥ Writing Contest Entry ♥

Postby galactia » Sun May 07, 2017 11:46 am

    Hiya! My name [well, 'user'-name] is Galactia, and the passion that I would like to share, is art. ♥

    Firstly, what is art? - "Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." But It can be more than that. Art, can be anything.
    Anything at all. No matter the skill, or time, or looks, anyone can be an artist. And that's partly why I love it so much.

    Throughout the ages art has played a crucial role in life. Art is universal and because it is everywhere, we experience it on a daily basis. From the houses we live in [architecture] to the movies we see, and the books that we read. Even in ancient culture art has played a crucial role. In prehistoric times cave dwellers drew on the wall of caves to record history. Most art is created for a specific reason or purpose, as it has a way of expressing ideas and beliefs, and can record the experiences of all people. Most art has some sort of reason or purpose behind it. It might be religious, symbolic, literal, traditional, customary, or just a preference by the artist. Artists will use their form of artwork to pass along their views and feelings. The images that they produce may express an innovative way of seeing the world or society around us. Interpreting art depends on a person experiences, culture, and associations. It is like love in that there are so many definitions and examples for each. Therefore, I believe art is not perfection; rather something that continues to develop as it is seen. It is a creation that lets the observer interpret the it any way they see it and the artists to portray their art in whatever way they want whether it is viewed the same way as the audience or not.

    I, personally, started to take an interest in art at a very young age. It was partly because I excelled in it, but mainly because I was fascinated by what you could do with it. I was lucky, growing up, as I always had the access to do art. Unfortunately those opportunities decreased as I got older. I don't think that my teachers really understood the importance of it, and so they were reluctant to teach it. Throughout two whole years, I only did art twice in school, which I find rather poor considering it is a important part of life. A couple years later, I finally got the opportunity to take it as a subject, in which I did so. This not only improved my skill, but it also opened up and allowed me to try new things. ♥

    The pets I am entering for: Orange Cerb//Sunback//Arabian Horse Store Set [Or Just One From The Set]

    [If all of the pets I'm entering for are taken, it's fine. I'm grateful for anything! All/Any pets I receive will most likely be donated toward a friend who was recently hacked. Thank you for your generosity!] ♥

Hi, my name is Mags. I guess I am the typical band nerd, therefore I take an interest in music. In fifth grade, the opportunity to learn an instrument was offered and so after trying several mouthpieces of different instruments, I chose the flute. I became super exhilarated to finally learn to play an instrument because I had always been fascinated with the idea since I was little. Me and a handful of other fifth grade flute players gathered into my middle school's library so the band director could teach us how to play. A week or two went by when the day came for our first playing test. I had thought I was well prepared as I listened to the other students play "Mary Had a Little Lamb". When it came to my turn to play, feeling pretty confident, I froze. The notes that came out were unsupported and shaky and my body grew hot and prickly. I could feel everyone's impatient eyes on me as my body swelled with anxiety. After that embarrassing performance was over, I begged my teacher to let me switch over to clarinet so I could be with my best friend (who I later convinced to switch to the flute and taught her how to play), but she would not allow me and suggested that I take lessons. Unhappy with her answer, I unwillingly signed up for lessons from a girl who was no older than I am now. Although she was just in high school, she held incredible talent. We were both timid and guarded people so our conversations were quiet and through all my years of knowing her, I never really felt like I did know her. I do not know how exactly she helped me but without her I would not have been first chair (the best) flute throughout all of middle school (except in sixth grade I was second chair lol). And that's only the beginning.

Soon my family moved to a different city when I was in eight grade, and being the anti-social person I am, I had trouble making friends. Within the seven months of being there, I had made two friends (one of them later moved and the other I am no longer friends with). I remember I didn't want to do marching band in high school, but I am so glad I did. The first parade the Freshmen participated in was the Fourth of July one. I was extremely intimidated being surrounded by hundreds of upperclassmen and I wasn't familiar with anyone in my grade, but one person walked up to me and we started talking. It was awkward and forced but I had made a friend. Soon people began quickly popping up at my side and I began to come out of my shell. I met so many people, the band became my second family. Football games always had a relaxed and enjoyable mood, and for me at least, Saturday competitions were strict and serious and for that we were one of the best bands in the state. Performing always gave me anxiety, but they weren't so bad since I was surrounded by other people. Marching band season soon ended and concert season began. At my school there are three bands based on how well the players are in it. I practiced vigorously for hours but when it was my turn for the audition, I froze. Anxiety ran through my veins once again, and the notes I conjured held no rhythm and quickly dissolved in the air. I walked out of the audition humiliated and defeated. I was placed third chair in the lowest band. I was not surprised knowing how my auditions went, but my friends and other people in my section were. Their thoughts made me feel good that they had such a high opinion of me, but I was also bitter for letting them down. Freshmen year ended quickly and I began my Sophomore year, the current year I am in. This has been the most depressing year of my life so far, but I will not discuss why for it is personal and unrelated, but there has been little bits sunlight. I was able to find a lot about my self from the people I was surrounded by. For example I was finally able to come to terms with my sexuality and I came out as gay. Anyways, marching band came to an end and the dreaded concert season began. I practiced with as much effort as last year, and I walked into the audition in fear of failure. Once again I became nervous and shaky, but this year was different. The notes I played held value for they contained what I felt; I was not going to let my anxiety take my breath away. I walked out of the audition with unease. The results were finally posted and my eyes scanned the last two bands, but soon became puzzled when I couldn't find my name. Curiously, I looked to the highest ranking band. I was placed as the last chair in the highest band full of juniors and seniors, with me beginning the only Sophomore in the section. I had skipped an entire band, I could not believe it. My confidence level had been so low that I could not even fathom this. With such a rough year, this was the silver lining, the eye of the storm. I could be happy for a little while, and forget the complexities of my life. It was pleasant finding an escape in something I love.

What I am trying to convey with this story is my compassion for music and how it shaped my life. It created most of the friendships I have currently and gave me the opportunity to experience life. Although I have still have a long way to go with conquering my demons, I am definitely exceedingly different than the discouraged fifth grade girl I used to be. Currently I am still a nervous performer; today I had a recital and performed a solo in front of a great deal of people. My whole body was shaking and my fingers grew numb, but I prevailed and finished with little mistakes. I like to think my whole life changed for the better, and it all started with the day I picked up my flute.

Wow sorry this is so long and not really an essay. I guess you can say that my second passion is creative writing lol. Anyways, thank you for this writing opportunity it's something I also really enjoy and I'm sorry to hear that you're quitting♥♥
