Hearts beating in the silence, runners anxious to complete their last meet of the year with a good note. The voices of fans yelling things we already know vanishes as the man in a yellow coat with a racing gun stands in front of us giving vivid instructions about the next eighteen minutes of pain.
It's a good idea to start from the beginning Joey just a small colt never been away from his mother well now his mother and him are be sold. He was scared he was not yet 6 months old and has never been more than a few feet away from his mother.They pulled my mother away from me which made me more frighted well I watched her walking away i bellowed out and I heard her reply and she kicked and ran back to me are noses touched and then she was forcefully ripped away from me never to be seen again
Life handed me lemons, but I could not make lemonade. May of 2016 I decided to go with a Black Angus heifer who was not people friendly. This heifer was beyond ready to kill me or one of my siblings. Once we realized she was too crazy, we took her back and went the complete opposite direction. I was so excited to bring home eight hundred pound Princess Belle the Charolais heifer. Within a few short days Belle was walking on a halter, cleaning up eight pounds twice a day,
Today marks the day where the state fair comes to town and they released a new ride called “Erikson’s ride”
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you for purchasing my market goat this year at the Sonoma County Fair Auction. I am glad that there are people in our community who realize the importance of agriculture in today’s world and are willing to invest in its future.
When I first started thinking about college schools I never thought about going to MSU or Ole Miss. I wanted to go to the bigger universities, but I knew I wouldn’t do well if I went there my first year. My high school did not prepare me enough for University, and I hadn’t decided on a major either. I choose East Central Community College (ECCC) as the school I would go to for many reasons, and when I got here I knew I made the right choice.
Unfortunately, I would not be making it to your America history 102 class today, due to some unexpected family situation. Hopefully by next week class I will be somewhat caught up. Also, I recently had a situation with my midterm essay, I spend almost two to three hours typing the essay at Kalamazoo Valley Community College (TTC) in the computer center and when I was about to be finished, I assumed I saved the paper so I exit it out and after my wellness class I had gone back to the computer center and I had noticed my midterm essay was not in my document folder. There was nothing I and the computer staff can do, so now I am currently typing a whole knew midterm essay, and since I have a horrible memory I am not sure what I wrote about the
Undoubtedly, Chicago, much like the rest of America, would possess a largely different environment for workers without an organized labor movement aiming to better working standards. Among these transformative movements includes the National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, a union organization in which my father has been a member of since before I was born. My father, having earned the title of Union Steward while employed at Univision, often recounted to a younger me the various situations that unfolded regarding his career. I frequently saw large signs imploring for improved rights for the employee perpetually scattered throughout my father’s home and car, shirts that proclaimed union pride, and lanyards, buttons, and
Over the course of my seventeen years of life, I have gradually come to realize, as a species, we humans have lost something. I do not know when we lost it; maybe we never even had it. I had my first suspicions when I was young, and I learned from a school bully that not everyone is nice. I gained more insight when I was older, and I learned about how people used to keep slaves. When I was older still, I learned about rape, murder, and torture. But it was not until November 13th, 2015 I finally realized what we were missing. November 13th, 2015, I watched my BBC news feed update with news of terror attacks while I was out raising funds for my high school soccer team. When I got home, I turned on the news, and listened as newscasters proclaimed
On Monday April 24th, Mr. Hill asked me to meet him at the barn to look at three steer he purchased and decide which one I wanted. As soon as I walked into the barn I knew which one I desired, it was the one and only Charolais in the group! Mr. Hill warned me that the
In continuation, I raised a young heifer from the time she was three weeks old. She got immensely dehydrated and ill the day after birth and when she returned home from the vet her mother didn’t recognize her and abandoned the calf. I happily took this calf, Summer Rae, and raised her for show. Although I didn’t receive any grand awards it was still a stunning experience for both Summer and I. Not only did I receive a prepossessing young heifer to raise, but I gained a best friend.
One of my most striking memories is walking among over 70,000 protestors around Madison’s capitol building as a progressive twelve year old. Chants and signs supporting union rights filled the streets as I spotted classmates, teachers, and other concerned acquaintances in the passionate crowd. As a proud resident of the politically active city of Madison, Wisconsin, I cannot image being disconnected from that social and political movements that shape our world. Every night my family sits down to watch some of our many news-based television shows: The Rachel Maddow Show, Last Week Tonight, Full Frontal, The Daily Show, NBC Nightly News, CBS Sunday Morning, and many more. While being a news junkie in Madison is considered normal among locals,
When I was asked to join the union and strike in order to get better pay and treatment I was a little worried of what would happen. If I did go on strike I wouldn’t get payed therefore I couldn’t buy food, clothing or anything that my children might would need. I didn’t know how long I would be on strike for, and I wouldn’t want my kids to miss out on anything they needed. It took me a little while to realize that if I do go on a strike it would be better for my family. At this time we needed all the money we could get we was starting to get behind with some hospital bills. So I took a step up to the plate and am now a part of the strike
Hello, my name is Mike. Ever since I can remember I have always wanted a giraffe. Today is my 18th birthday. I am going to buy a giraffe with all my money I have saved up. Everybody thinks I am insane. They say it is hard work but I am up to it. “Oh, shoot I have to go,” wrote Mike in his
It is Thursday, August 24th, the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. I am here with my family, a friend and his mom, and one of my sister’s friends. It seems so long since last year’s fair. I always look forward to the state fair, even though it’s pretty much the same every year.
