My favorite NFL team is the Miami Dolphins. I have been closely following them since I was very little. Most people have a hard time understanding this; because I'm from Southern California. Why would I root for a team that is from the opposite side of the country? Southern California has the Chargers, they are a team worth rooting for.
The reason why I started to like the Dolphins, was that I wanted to be an oceanographer. More particularly I wanted to work with dolphins. So it was a natural fit for a four or five year old. Since then I have become very attached to the team. Since high school I have made it my personal hobby to follow every aspect of the team. Some call it an obsession. I call it a passion.
