Today the world celebrates the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. I, unlike so many others, did not grow up hearing his wonderful voice and exploring our planet with him. In fact, I only discovered his work about six years ago. But from that moment on, I watched everything I could from him. I, who have never seen, felt as if I were looking through his eyes, because his descriptions were both clear and vivid. I learned about things that I never knew existed, from animals, to plants, to the history of the Earth itself. He gave me a new understanding and appreciation of science and the world around me. From there, I began watching other nature documentaries, and it has become one of my favourite passtimes. It is truly heart-warming to see a man who has done so much and who is loved by so many be honoured while he is still with us. If I had one thing to say to Sir David, it would be this. Thank you for helping me see the world and for making it a better place for all who live in it.
