Family farms serve as both a place to live and a place to work and is unique as both a home and a workplace. Growing up on a cattle farm, with horses and the necessary machinery, I was exposed to many conditions that have taught me valuable lessons and allowed me to thrive as a young individual. One of the main reasons that I have been able to thrive under these circumstances is because of my family members ensuring my safety. My family has always been rigorous about teaching me how to stay safe from the many dangers on our farm that could leave me vulnerable to injury and illness. On our farm, we consider the health and safety of our family to be our number one priority. When I was young, my parents restricted my access to worksites on the farm and were certain to reduce my exposure to hazardous situations to ensure my safety and well-being. I was prohibited to go near the cattle without one of my adult family members being with me and was not allowed to roam around the farm without the supervision of an adult. I became progressively mesmerized by the livestock on our farm and wanted to be more involved with them so that I could pursue my curiosity. While this worried my parents to a certain degree, they supported my curiosity and began to give me modified tasks and chores that I was capable of doing without putting me in harm’s way. Before performing any of these tasks however, they ensured that I was properly informed on what I was to do and how I was to do them. The

I have been interested in Technology and certain aspects of Science since I was a child. As I became older I came to a realization of how much I love Technology; I began to excel in my technology and engineering classes but not do as great in my science classes. I began to loathe science as I took upon the love of Engineering. As I have researched different types of engineering in previous years, I have stumbled across Agricultural and Environmental Engineering. I have decided instead of seeing science a challenge I cannot overcome I should work harder to be better at the subject. Therefore, I can combine my love for the planet and horticulture with my love for technology and engineering. Having an internship at USDA as a Senior will further help me achieve my goal of having a career in the STEM field. I feel having an Internship my senior year will cause me to further succeed as the research I will hopefully be doing can cause me to grasp a better understanding of the different types of careers open to me in the future.
Ever since I decided to major in Animal Science one group that I always talked to when I went to college fairs was the USDA. The USDA always told me the facts that any student wanted to hear, that if you worked for them they would pay for your student debt and that you would get a higher pay rate within the first five years of work. However, I was more interested in the work that they do and how they can help me achieve my goal.
Growing up on a farm in rural South Dakota, one learns to go without. Country living often entails going without the newest clothes, technology, or even modern necessities. Unfortunately, it can also include the postponement of medical intervention when health begins to fail. The impact rural health clinics have on alleviating this maldistribution is immense.
It wasn’t until junior year of high school, I realized I had a strong passion for teaching and helping others. When I was a child, dress-up and tea parties were never an option for my “play-date” guests. I was always pretending to be a teacher, while my guest landed the role as the student in class along with all of my stuffed animals and dolls. I have always dreamed of becoming a teacher, but it wasn’t until I reached high school I realized I wanted to become a high school teacher. For a while I was unsure of what I would like to teach. All I knew was I wanted to teach at a secondary level. During senior year, I found my passion. I realized Family and Consumer Science was the path for me.
According to Brainyquote.com, chef Tyler Florence once said,”The concept of being a locavore, or one who chooses whenever possible to incorporate locally grown or locally produced food into one's nutrition plan, is of great importance.” Chef Tyler Florence is talking about how important it is to have locally grown food incorporated into your daily diet because it improves for your body’s nutrition and improves your health. In the early 20th century, large corporate farms became a big thing in America, and that pushed aside the small locally grown farms. Then in the 1960s and 1970s, people began to grow relationships with farmers, which led to the trading of goods, and locally grown farms began to come back. This was called the local food

Many things could be said about childhood on the homestead seeing as it was cut short in eighteen eighty-three. Notwithstanding, the children who survived childbirth was more often than not settled into a life of risk. During this time era, children were at constant risk of illness and disease. With this in mind, as chores came into play, an abundance of risks came into existence. As a result, children often became the victim of infection if the wounds were not properly cleaned. In the end, a risk was like a person’s life long companion. In spite of all of the risks and danger, it was the life they lived. Albeit, there was one way for a child to escape their chores and parents’ rules. In other words, a sanctuary of sorts. What is it? Well,
In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.
I woke up before my alarm. A distant square of eerie half-twilight from the window held the familiar outline of the locust tree. In the dark, I fumbled to dress without waking my parents. I slipped outside.
