Community Stories: Aquarium Kids

4/16/200610:06

Every Sunday on Pier 59, three high schoolers come to the Seattle Aquarium to help clean the exhibit tanks and feed the animals, all to prepare for the thousands of visitors who come to aquarium each week. Interns Sam, Shun, and Savy all come from families with roots in Asia, but their unique personalities and life histories illustrate the diversity within the Asian American community, a diversity that in turn enriches the lives of the aquarium's staff and visitors.
