District Four is the luckiest district in all of Panem if you ask me. Most lower districts would think we're lucky because we have full stomachs. District Three would probably assume it's because we have the recognition that comes with being a career district. And Districts One and Two would simply laugh in my face. But, all of those guesses are wrong. Everyone in Four knows why we're the luckiest place. We have something the other eleven districts may only dream of. We have the sea.

When the people of Four gaze out into that beautiful blue ocean, we all see different things. Some people focus on the waves crashing ashore. Other see their source of income, their next meal through fishing. A few might see freedom as their minds wonder what lies beyond the ocean. I focus on the marine life within it.

Marine life and marine biology have always been interesting to me. When I was a kid I used to explore the shallows of the ocean for hours, looking at the fish and other marine life near the shore. I don't have one species or type of marine life I find most interesting. I've always been fascinated by crabs to sharks to fish to seals.

Though, this interest has caused issues. As a kid, I was exploring in the shallows when I saw an Atlantic Sharpnose Shark. These are a small species of shark, the biggest adults weighing about eight pounds. I ended up with a slight bite, which is likely because I spooked the poor animal. Now Sharpnose bites are fairly mild, but as a child it still hurt like a motherfucker. Even to this day I'm a little wary about Sharpnoses.

Outside of studying aquatic life, I'm also a career. I enjoy the training, the feeling of power that comes with it. But more than that, the preparation for the games. If I ever do get reaped, I feel like I'm more likely to live than non-careers. And even more than that, if I survive, I can use the money from becoming a victor to buy a boat. Yes, out of everything I could spend my fortunes on I would want a boat.

Our district relying on the sea for it's money, of course we have Oceanographers and Marine Biologists - which I eventually intend to become a Marine Biologist. But with a boat I could start now rather than after years of studying. And I could do my own independent research (with government approval of course) outside of work. But, that's a pipe dream. And it relies on me getting reaped. My parents would have heart attacks if I ever volunteered.

My parents own a local restaurant - sea food of course. They usually exchange a certain amount of free meals for free or discounted sea food with the fishermen, making it easy to turn a profit and pay for my career training. Though I will admit, I do get tired of sea food. One thing I can say with confidence is that Ligaya and Venancio Acosta are the two most loving fucking parents in District Four. They make it clear to me everyday.

Which is why I regret being such a shithead in my early teens. I used to sneak out, stay past curfew, go to parties, drink booze, normal angsty teenage rebellion shit. Though, now that I'm getting older I'm growing out of all of that. Minus the swearing, I just try avoid doing it in front of Nanay (mom). Meanwhile Tatay (dad) is just glad I didn't get any tattoos before I turned eighteen. Or after I turned eighteen, at least for now.
