Sharks Aren’t Splendid! 

Written By Kruti Patel

  Have you ever not wanted to have a shark as a pet right after seeing one? If you’re thinking about that, then I’ll have to tell you the truth: yes, I have. 

  I once was at an aquarium with my mom and dad, and to be specific, it was the New Jersey Sealife Aquarium. To be honest, it wasn’t that frightening, until I went on a bone-chilling bridge above sharks in water. I shivered as I crossed that bridge! I thought sharks were amazing, awesome creatures, even though some could kill you if you bother them. Still, that’s other people’s fault. 

  The rope bridge was shaking a little, and I was afraid I might fall! It looked a bit dangerous, and I wasn’t sure that sharks were going to be my most favorite animal forever. I was thinking, You’re safe, okay? The sharks are down there, and you’re up here on the bridge! 

  I didn’t think twice and looked down. I was so nervous when I did, and I knew I shouldn’t have done that. After crossing that bridge, we strolled over to the shark section, and I immediately wanted to run away once I saw the shark’s jaws. I noticed that they had extremely sharp teeth, but not as large as the megalodon’s. 

  My family and I also saw sharks closed inside a glass barrier. That really gave me the chills! I looked at them, and when my dad asked me how I liked them, I said that I loved them. I didn’t want to tell them the truth that I was now afraid of sharks! Finally, after ordering our food at the mini cafe there, I was relieved we were going home! I couldn’t get that image of a shark out of my head! 

In conclusion, don’t look at the shark section if you love them and think they’re awesome. Take the advice from the girl who learned that lesson.
