Third summer with Save the Harbor -Seoule

 Hey there! I'm Seoule, and I'm from Dorchester. I'm excited to start my freshman year at Simmons University this fall, where I'll be studying nursing. Lately, I've been getting really into sports. It started at my second job as a restaurant hostess, where I'd find myself watching whatever game was on the TVs at the bar. Basketball and football have become my favorites recently. It's been a fun way to pass the time, and I've been learning more about the teams and players. I can't wait to keep exploring this interest as I head off to college!

This is my third summer working with Save the Harbor, and I'm thrilled to be back. What drew me to this program initially was the unique and engaging summer experience. Not only is it a rewarding part-time job, but it's also an opportunity to have fun while positively impacting Boston communities. Through our programs, we can provide experiences for local youth that they might not otherwise have access to - whether it's a fishing trip, a marine animal encounter, or a visit to one of the Boston Harbor Islands. And for many of our groups, these experiences can be life-changing.

This summer, I was excited to participate in the orientation activities with Save the Harbor, and my favorite part was definitely the fishing trip. As someone who missed out on the orientation last summer, I was determined to make the most of it this year. This trip was mainly to teach new staff how to fish and about the harbor's history, but as a returner, I enjoyed it too.
