There are some parts of the job or project that you won't like, but push through it and get it done to move on to the parts you do like.
The biggest challenge for me is to stay motivated through the day because we do the same things everyday. One of the big challenges for San Diego House Rabbit Society is having space for rabbits they rescue, they deal with this problem by taking all the rabbits they can and then they move some rabbits they don't have room for to different shelters.
Jose Reynoso-Zimmerer:
What stands out to me is that he is doing stuff all around San Diego not just one place like me. I don't think we have anything in common. Like I said he does stuff in different places and I stay in the same place. Dashiell Thumm What stands out to me is the environment he works in and the space he gets. We both work with animals and work with person from our school. He works with large animals and I work with small animals. Tzvi Weber What stands out to me is how much they trust high schoolers around young kids. We have similar environments. The only thing we have in common is the similar environments almost everything else is different. In the beginning I just cleaned the cages and swept but now I do stuff in the store and help with health checks. They started to trust me to do tasks on my own.
Everyday we clean the cages, each person just goes around cleaning the cages that are dirty. We work together on most things but on the cages we usually do it alone. We work and when we need help we ask for it.
I have some ideas for my project but I haven't decided which one. I may do a project where I set up something that will do with donations for the shelter. Or I might do a pamphlet about different types of rabbits and their special traits and what they look like.
I think the rabbits benefit from the work we do and also the people who adopt or leave their rabbits with us while they are away. It is a great way to meet new people and learn about rabbits while you take care and hang out with them.
