When asked to picture my life years from now, I get nervous. I start worrying about the things I am doing today that will affect me in my future. Will I look back to when I had burgundy highlights in my hair and regret it? Will I look back at the navy blue dress I wore to prom and think I looked horrible? After I stop thinking about that, I start to think about things I don’t want in my life, the one thing I want to be completely gone is feeling the need to always have someone there for me. Once that that thought gets out of my head I start to really think about something that I hope will change, and that would have to be how I see myself. After I think about those things, I think about something that I don’t want to change at all, and that would have to be my lover for agriculture, most importantly the equine industry. Scott Adams once said, “Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they are not there the first time you need them chances are you won’t be needing them again.” When thinking about something I don’t want to be existent in my future is my need to want someone to be there for me all the time. This quote really explains my idea of needing someone. …show more content…
Agriculturists are the reason we are here today, they are the reason we have clothes, food, houses. Agriculture is what started the entire world. Without it we would be naked and hungry. My involvement in the agriculture world is within the equine industry. That is another thing I don’t want to change, I don’t want to ever lose my passion for horses. Horses have been apart of my life since I was born, they are the reason I smile, laugh, cry, and work so very hard. My passion is to work with horses. That is what my whole world revolves around and I wouldn’t want to change it at
...Instead of going with the Stasi to search Dreyman’s apartment after the interrogation, he flees to do the right thing.
I have always had a passion for animals. As a young child, I was convinced I constantly needed new animals, but we never had the space to care for them. In an effort to fill my desire to be involved with animals, my mom decided to sign me up for English horseback riding lessons. Although I never really believed I would enjoy English riding, I went to the horse barn about two times a week to practice. Over time, I learned to enjoy the sport and I created a bond with the horse I rode; he became my best friend. We went to competitions almost every single weekend and I won multiple awards. When my parents separated I had to stop competing. I was devastated to leave the behind the horse I had grown to love, however, I knew that this would not be the end of my future with animals.
On one of my parents’ first dates together, my father described cattle they drove past as “amazing creatures” telling my mother someday he would like to have land and livestock of his own. That wish to transition from the big city to the country led him to buy a house in the middle of nowhere Indiana, soon raising his own amazing livestock. Growing up, I often complained about the amount of work living on a farm entailed, from cleaning pens to taking care of my 4-H animals. But my dad never complained because such duties were his reward for starting an idea from scratch. Following his footsteps in pursuit of a dream of my own, I chose to attend a large university where I studied abroad to contrast and challenge my rural perspective. Through that transition, I began to respect the difficulties my father experienced following his goal. And while the responsibilities he undertakes are stressful and uncertain, I now
When I get out of high school I want my career to be a farmer. The roots of farming began in the areas of present day turkey in the middle east about 10,000 years ago. There is about 570 million farmers worldwide. More than 90 percent of farms are run by an individual or a family and rely primarily on family labour. Family farms occupy a large share of the world’s agricultural land and produce about 80 percent of the world’s food. I have been working with a farmer for half a year now and I love it. I have seen and learned what I need to know and what I need to have to run a farm. It’s going to be a lot of working and learning to save up money and to learn what I need to know to have and run a farm.
‘Das Leben der Anderen’ (The Lives of Others) is a striking example of how a director can convey narrative links within a film by employing various styles and film techniques. The Lives of Others relies upon these visual means to assist with the telling of the story as much as it relies upon the script. In this selected sequence of the film, several narrative links are drawn here to form the conclusion of ‘Operation Lazlo’. These narrative links are further cemented by Donnersmarck’s use of various lighting styles, diegtic and non-diegtic sound, revealing camera shots and intricate mise-en-scene.
“To many, the words love, hope and dreams are synonymous with horses.”- Author Unknown. Horses are my passion, because school has never been necessarily easy for me. Through hard work and having interests outside of school like my horses, I have been able to succeed in high school. If I’m being completely honest, I never Imagined college being something that I’d pursue in my future, not unless I would be studying something that I was truly passionate about and this for me is my horse.
I am passionate about being an advocate for agriculture because it is important to the future of the agriculture industry because the ag industry touches every person’s life. It does not matter if you work in a grocery store or a clothing factory, you are impacted by the agriculture. The ag industry is so important to the survival and development of the population. We provide essential needs for people and the people that raise these needs get benefits from it too. Also, the ag industry provides so many opportunities for the people who are involved in iit and it gives connections for a better life. Seeing that many places are impacted by agriculture, it is important for people to understand and support the ag industry.
Experiencing hard times is something that human beings endure at some point in their life: Death being one of them. Death affects everyone, whether it is a family member, a close friend, or even a pet, losing someone or something is still a hardship that is never easy to encounter. Gustave Flaubert said, “A friend who dies, it’s something of you who dies”. I could not agree more with this quote. Dealing with the loss of a friend so close to you, takes a part of you away as well. No parent should ever have to bury his or her own child and no thirteen year old should have to face such a loss at a young age, however, on April 21, 2011, my whole life changed.
In a society where more than one-third of the population is victimized by surveillance, people are forced to choose: to betray or to silence. A secret police Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe) and a successful playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch) in The Lives of Others are no exception. At first, they appear to be securing a firm stand. Upon Jerska (Volkmar Kleinert)’s death, however, they start questioning their stances. The movie unfolds as the two main characters become alike. Hneckel von Donnersmarck’s use of outstanding mise-en-scene and sound—especially the musical leitmotifs—powerfully persuades the viewers that the pursuit of goodness alone can bind two seemingly different human beings.
Have you ever thought about what you are going to be when you grow up? This is a question that I am sure most of us don’t enjoy being asked. With this question there are many things to consider. How much will it cost to get the education that will be required? Will I really like the career that I have chosen? Will I even be able to get a job? Whatever the question may be, have you ever considered a job in agriculture? When I had first heard about “jobs in agriculture” I thought mainly about farming, and didn’t want to be a part of that. I wanted to be a rich and successful business owner. However, as I have learned, an agricultural job isn’t just farming but there is an entire range of jobs and opportunities in the agricultural field. In
“It is important to convey to people that everything we do in the agriculture industry is done in a responsible manner.” (Christie Gabel). Christie Gabel is Senior Territory Manager for cattle and equine in northern Colorado for Zoetis, one of the largest animal health companies in the United States. The agriculture industry has many different pathways within it; after all it is how we feed the world. Like many people, Christie did not know what pathway or career she wanted to take, she just knew she wanted to be involved in the industry and be successful within it. Many people find their passion later in life, but like many other people who grow up in the livestock and agriculture industries, they find their passion for it at a very young age.
The purpose of this exercise is not to view this process as if you are fixing things for your future self. It is more about being able to feel that the future self is real and it is going to be you.
Privacy, “the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people.” A concept which once had meaning and validity, however that concept is challenged today in modern day times as a result of technological advances. One may not feel observed or disturbed by other people, although with the introduction on interconnected devices, global position services, cellular towers, as well as with the internet that concept of being private slowly disappears. All the data transmitted through these devices are stored in databases, digested by algorithms, and served up for various purposes. The more we as a society move towards technology and easy-to-access information the less sensitive private data individuals retain. Previously as we seen in the 1984 German film “The Lives of Others,” in-order to spy on someone it required a fleet of tools, tails, bugged locations, and a
When I was young, I of ten told to myself that when I grew up I could be anything I wanted to be and I always took for granted that this was true. I knew exactly what I was going to be, and I would spend hours dreaming about how wonderful my life would be when I grew up. One day, though, when did I grew up I realized that things had not turned out the way I had always expected they would.
“I always felt I had a chameleon soul-- no compass pointing due north, no fixed personality, just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean” (2). In a sense I believed it was true. I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life, but that didn’t stop me from being excited for what was to come. When I imagined my life in the future, I dreamt about the intriguing adventures, unforgettable memories and life-long friendships I would experience. While I understood that life would sometimes be challenging and hard, I was more enthusiastic about its positive moments. Although still uncertain about many things in life, I have come to realize
