Zanele Mayiya, Assistant Educator at the Shark Education Centre<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Working with children is fun. I love that no single day at work is the same.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I meet children of different ages from many schools and backgrounds and I learn many lessons from them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The children motivate me to be a better person as I share information with them. They are curious and ask many questions and I find myself looking for answers in books and on the Internet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I admire their endless energy, honesty, creativity and flexibility. They make me a more knowledgeable person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Children make me a healthier person when they are around me. I like playing with them and do fun exercises that keep us active and fit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I always make sure that when they leave our Shark Education Centre, they are feeling strong and better than when they arrived. I know they are taking a lot of new information they absorbed, home to share with their families and friends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Knowing that my job is to teach children about the ocean life; brings a huge smile to my face. I love it and can’t wait until the Shark Education Centre reopens and school groups return to visit us!<\/p>\n
