Life is most certainly, all about DECISIONS.
Some of the decisions we make are to be proud of, while others are to be frowned upon. In my life, specifically this past week, I made a relatively big decision.
Entering my freshman year of college, I declared my major as Animal Science; Pre-Veterinary Medicine. The very first assignment in my Orientation to Animal Science class was to write a paper about why we wanted to be in the Animal Science career pathway.
After about 2 hours of writer's block I finally told myself, "Ok, just write what you want." And that is when this sentence happened:
"It is through writing this paper that I have discovered that a major in Animal Science and focus in that career pathway, is something that I will not pursue. My interest and passion for agriculture stretches far beyond animal science, and to choose such major would be cheating me of my true, life aspirations."
This didn't just happen that day. I have been thinking about this throughout this past summer, and school year. After many months of discerning, I have decided to pursue a major in Agricultural Education: Leadership & Communication. Why ? Well, time will tell this year. I just knew that my true passion is to not only educate people about agriculture, but to empower them to become leaders themselves in the vast world of agriculture.
More thoughts down the road, but that's me for now...
It's amazing how the mind works, but I'm glad you found a major where you believe you belong. Thanks for providing a fantastic CLC experience for my students! Take care!
