About Me

               My name is Sarah McMurtry. I was born on October 10, 2000. One of my favorite things to do is playing with the dolphins at dolphin point in Sea World San Diego. I made a very strong connection with some of the dolphins there. My favorite dolphin is Cocoa. She is almost four years old and loves to splash!!! I have learned that the hard way! I have known Cocoa ever since she arrived at dolphin point. We are best friends. When she see's me she gets all excited and starts making all of these vocalizations. Cocoa will follow me around the whole pool. She wont leave my side. I met Zuri at the dolphin pool too. Zuri also has a strong bond with the dolphins and orcas. Zuri has a bond with Corky the orca and Monte the dolphin. When I am not at sea world, I am usually at my Karate class, or spending time with my family. I love to swim. I can swim really deep and can hold my breathe for a long time. I also like to go boogie boarding at Torry Pines beach. My dream is to open a dolphin rescue center with my friend Zuri. Thats Me!!!

Where my Mom is From:

             My mom is from Israel. She was born there and moved to the US when she was around ten years old. My mom was born in the city of Afula, which is in the northern part of Israel. However, she lived in Jerusalem most of the time when she was in Israel. She has two brothers, one younger and one older. The schools in Israel are much different then the schools here. In Israel, kids go to school six days a week, from Sunday to Friday. When my mother was in fourth grade, she had 21 subjects! Israel is a Jewish country, but there are also Christians and Muslims living there. Israel is on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and my mom spent many summers swimming in the warm waters. However she had to watch out for the jellyfish!!! Even though my mom lived in America for many years, she still feels that Israel is her true home.
