                                        A

                          

             When I was little,I'd see tons of bats flying around streetlights at night in my neighborhood in upstate New York.

             By the time I turned 7,I noticed something strange: All the bats in my neighborhood had vanished,and I wondered why. Later I learned what hy happened to my town's bats. A disease called “white nose syndrome(白鼻综合征) ” had killed 93 percent of New York State's bats (and about 6 million bats across the country)!I was shocked. I asked the bat biologist what I could do to help,and she said, “Tell others what's been happening. Help people understand that bats are important to our environment and need to be protected."

             I thought I must teach people about bats. My first stop? The library,where I eventually checked out every book on bats they had. Next,I started a Facebook page called Buddies for Bats and posted any photos,facts,and videos that I could find. Then I wrote a letter to the host of an environmental program on my local radio station,asking if they'd do a show on bats. (They did!)

             But I still wanted to find a way to educate people face to face. I managed to make a presentation to a school. I also used tools to describe how bats help farmers (and protect our food supply) by eating crop-damaging insects.

             I practiced my presentation until it shone like a polished stone. It went over so well that other teachers started requesting me. Over the past three years,I ve talked in front of everyone from 5-year-olds to senior citizens!The more I present,the more I notice that I am changing minds. I have watched people go from dismissing bats as “disgusting(令人厌恶的)” to truly understanding them and advocating their protection.

             Right now,I'm thinking of becoming a marine biobgist (海洋生物学家) someday.As long as I'm helping animals,I'11 be happy.
