I love the animals that are at the Burlington Science Center!!!!!!! I even took care of 2 gerbils when I was in 3rd grade and ended up keeping them until they died last year. ANIMALS RULE………..(AND DROOL)

I graduated from Burlington High in 1999 where I was able to spend two class periods helping in the Science Center caring for all the animals. Since I was also diagnosed with severe depression that year I have to say that the only reason that I was able to push through and graduate on-time was due to being able to interact with the animals on a regular basis especially Valentine! Recently I have return to MA after living in NV and IL and am working toward my AS degree so that I can hopefully work with wildlife on a regular basis as that has always been my passion. If you ever need any help, please let me know!
