In example, since I was very little I’ve always wanted to become a veterinarian, several times I’ve wanted to …show more content…
That obstacle happened to be autism. The way she didn’t let it get in her way was outstanding. The way her brain worked, it allowed her to take pictures of things in her mind and store it there. In today’s society, it’s expected that people with disabilities or special conditions are to be taken care of for the rest of their lives, they are not able to show their true intelligence and talents.

Before her time many cattle operations and ranches used gates and steel floors for the process of dipping cattle. While observing, Temple noticed that the sudden movement of gates to stop too many cows from getting too ahead frightened them and caused more harm than not. Also, steel flooring was being used. The material steel and the hooves of cattle do not allow there to be any friction which causes slipping and sliding, which could be harmful to the animal, especially when moving down a slope into the dipping area. When they were using steel slopes and gates they were losing 3-4 cattle a day due to drowning, but by using curved paths and a concrete slope there was no

The Great Rite is a term is that often misunderstood both within and without the Pagan communities. A ritual built around fertility and survival has over time become confused and conflated with sex. Those who originally would have benefited the most from the Great Rite were not perverts or pleasure seeking opportunists but were instead those farmers, agriculturists, and gardeners of the past. The primary purpose of the Great Rite was to combine the essence of female and male energies to encourage fertility in whatever areas it was encouraged towards. This would not be just crops but could also include animals (to continue their service to the humans who prospered from them) as well as families to help continue their lineage and grow the community.
