Personal Narrative: My First Meat Trailer
This past year I saved enough money to purchase my first livestock trailer. It is a bumper hitch trailer that can carry up to four beef animals. It is by no means fancy or new, but it works great when taking animals to county fairs, clinics, vet appointments, and other events. When traveling longer distances I have to support of many other beef producers if I choose not to use my own trailer (Not that my trailer could not transport long distance). This network of generous producers has helped me take calves to the Iowa State Fair, Stock Show University, and field days using their gooseneck trailers. My FFA chapter also owns its own livestock trailer that I have used.

    I remember anxiously waiting for 9:00 o’clock so we could go explore the store. The grocery store could be kind of spooky during the night but this didn’t bother us too much because we would be busy playing tag or hide and seek throughout the store. The grocery store has seven aisles. Aisles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are nothing special but aisle 6 is divided into in half by a variety of items as well as a candy box ( I don’t know what else to call it).…

    I plan to be involved in the industry in numerous ways. Next fall I plan to attend Kansas State University to major in Animal Science. While on campus I plan to be involved in various agricultural clubs and organizations to stay connected in the industry. Through college, I also plan to stay involved in the livestock industry through showing as well as internships. Following graduation, I plan to pursue a career in the animal health industry, but ultimately end up back on my family farm to manage the crop, swine, and beef operations. I hope to expand the beef cattle herd of the farm and maintain my involvement with industry. I hope I can help to make a lasting impact on youth in the livestock industry, just as those who have impacted me…

    As a Chinese-American, my family expected me to help out at the restaurant while maintaining straight A's in school. But, it wasn't easy; every day, I would report to the restaurant after school and immediately start working. Inside the kitchen, I would pack all the orders into aluminum containers, place them into a brown bag, and insert packets of sauces and utensils. Burns and cuts were common due to the terrible and tearable aluminum containers. Outside at the front desk, I would answer the seemingly endless ringing phones. In many instances, customers had to wait either on the phone or at the front desk for me to find their orders on the computer, even after they showed me where it was on the menu. During lunch hours, the pressure was even…

    Last year I was prit near 375 lbs and I knew something had to give. I have tried, low fat, low cal, counting macros and everything. I always still would gain! I would eat veggies and lean meat keeping under 1200 calories sometimes 800 when frustrated, I'd still wake up weighing more. Well to be honest, I believe the food pyramid is very, very inaccurate. I sometimes watch shows like my 600 lb life, for motivation for myself, because I need it still! I was to a point in my life I couldn't walk or stand more than 5 minutes! I'd have to sit on a chair to do dishes, I felt useless anymore honestly. One day something clicked and I seen a friend who posted about her 210 lb weight loss and started to read. I was blown away! I started it and I won't lie, I went out with a bang! Made a huge chocolate cake 13x9 and we ate half of it. I canned the rest. Within the first 3 days I was 5 lbs down! I couldn't believe it, without any exercise! People say oh you can't do that, but you can! You simply have to eat the RIGHT foods! 60% carbs isn't for us! That's what was set up by a group of people who think they know everything! They don't! But anyways if you want to learn how to eat the correct macros and learn to lose weight without worry, then this is for you! Ooh you have to give up some things! But tell yourself YOU'RE WORTH IT! I know what it feels like to hurt everyday and not be able to function and go out to the store cause you just cannot walk.…

    My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, my stuffy nose runs. I grasp the cold metal handle of the school door, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustomed to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated area backstage. We struggle through multiple doors and long curtains until we reach our destination. The first aid kit mends our minor cuts and bruises created in the process. Gathering our senses, we collect the makeup and costumes and begin a brisk walk to the classroom assigned to us. The first performance is in an hour and a half,…

    It was a crisp cold fall day at Lambeau field. I could see everything that was happening the whole entire time. The field was as green as a tree in the middle of Summer. The cold wind was whistling in my ear. The smell the hot dogs, burgers, and turf from the field filled my nose as the game begin. All I could hear were people cheering on the Packers and the jumbotron blaring, “Go pack go!” I could see the running back Eddie Lacy drive the ball into the end zone and everyone went wild. A mix people cheering and screaming filled my ears.

    We pointed the gun, and bam, my first deer was down, this was when I knew that this place was going to be a special place to me. Growing up, going to deer camp with my daddy was always a very exciting thing for me. Hopewell was practically where I grew up; the dusty dirt roads, beautiful and quiet backwoods, deep mud holes, wild animals, friends and family made that place a home for me. Most people wouldn’t really consider their deer camp as their safe place and I guess that’s what makes me different from others.…
