3/5
I thought that the author of this article described his job of feeding sharks with a noticeable passion for his line of work.
Sekaia is a shark feeder for Aquatrek near the island of Beqa, close to Fiji's largest island of Viti Levu. Sekaia explains his passion for his job and the sharks he cares for. Sekaia dives 80 feet under the ocean to feed eight different species of sharks. I've heard the saying that if you love your job, you never work in your life, and Sekaia clearly defines this in his article when he says that he is privileged to work with sharks and that he hates getting sick and missing a dive. Although he talks about the various risks in his job, he doesn't worry about them because he has learned about each shark species he feeds. He says that the job gets significantly easier as the sharks grow older and mature, because they will recognize that Sekaia is giving them food. One aspect of the job is newborn sharks, since they are un-accustomed to the feeding process. Clearly, Sekaia loves his career, and deftly explains that in his article.
Overall, I don't feel very affected by this article, besides me realizing the risks associated with his career, and the amount of courage it would take to take on this kind of job.
