Week 3: The Adventure Begins.

Surviving in the Jungle - Chapter 1


Monday started out fairly normal in the jungle this week. Seeking out two new classes of high school students, this meerkat (me) was able to conquer Animal Science lovers, however the the Horticulture enthusiasts slipped away - their witty attitudes surpassing mine.

At the watering hole (also known as the cafeteria), the Queen of the Jungle (Mrs. Hoover), was able to overthrow two fierce animals whose bold and malicious statements were sure to cause destruction. It was this lioness's sharp thinking and cat-like reflexes that were able to bring peace to the jungle again. Her trusty meerkat was able to aid with the peace keeping procedures.

Tuesday gave the meerkat a second chance with the horticulturists. This meerkat needed to take advice from the lioness and show the students that she could roar, too. The meerkat was nervous and scared, but could not let the animals of the jungle see or smell this fear. If they did, it may cause an uprising. Luckily, the meerkat succeeded this time. The lioness assured the meerkat, it gets easier with time.

Wednesday led to an uneventful day, but Thursday the meerkat was left in charge when the lioness was not able to be there. While there was a lion in training (substitute) in the habitat, the meerkat held her ground. She was proud when the day ended. She was able to maintain order in the jungle that day, teach classes that lioness was still in charge of, and remain organized and composed all day. She was surprised and impressed.

                                                  

                                                              The fearless lioness sent the meerkat a gift
                                                                 for leaving her in charge without much notice! 

Gold medalists: Riley, Karis, Destiny, and Chloe

The week was coming to a close and the lioness and meerkat took some jungle animals from their preferred location to one across the way to battle for the trophies of milk quality. After a full day of battling in tasting, smelling, presenting, and showing some skills, our "kids" came out with gold and bronze medals in the overall team competition. Furthermore, many did well in the individual competitions including more gold and bronze medals. The glory was taken home to celebrate with the rest of the pride.

Competitors worked hard to identify strange and unknown cheeses and milk impurities.
