Dawn Brancheau - Days Are Long

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION!!!

This is my first YouTube video and I, of course, dedicated it to my hero Dawn Therese Brancheau.

At a young age, Dawn Brancheau had a dream, and she pursued that dream with tremendous passion and energy. Although her goal may have seemed out of reach for a young girl from northwest Indiana, she believed in herself and worked tirelessly to make her dream of working at SeaWorld become a reality. Through her hard work and love for the animals in her life, Dawn became a world class animal trainer and the face of SeaWorld.
Dawn was very successful and well known for her professional career. Dawn was a woman who embraced life and made the most of every experience. She made each and every person she met feel special and enriched so many lives with her kind and loving acts. Dawn radiated joy and truly worked to make the world a better place. Whether she was volunteering at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, helping orphans in Africa, supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation, or simply brightening someone's day with a smile, Dawn was always striving to make a difference.

On February 24, 2010, Dawn was involved in a tragic accident at SeaWorld with Tilikum, an orca that she knew well and loved. It has been speculated that her accident was caused by her ponytail drifting into the water. Dawn had long hair most of her life. On that day, her hair was exceptionally long because she was growing it for Locks of Love, an organization that provides hair-pieces for children with long-term medical hair loss. This act of kindness was just one of the many examples of Dawn helping others.

I have total and utter respect for this woman- A woman who loved her job and the creatures she worked with and these pictures capture her love and contentment. I don't know what more to say so letting the pictures speak for themselves.

I'm aware that I do NOT own any of the pictures or Video Footage (of SeaWorld + Chuckadee17) in the video. I worked on this tribute for a few months. I searched the whole Internet for pictures of Dawn and today I was able to finally finish it. I could list all of the people I got these picture from, but this caption would be endless. The only resource I remember is "starcasm.net" I do not make any money off of this video. I simply used them for this tribute for my hero Dawn Brancheau. I claim NO ownership for these images. They belong to their respectful owners.
