Moving forward.

So, I haven't been writing as much as I'd like to, but now I am back, after a hiatus.
I am back to being motivated, and wanting to be a farmer. I had a momentary slump in motivation, but my passion and energy has returned.
I decided not to intern this summer on a farm, because I want to be with friends at a camp. I will find an internship opportunity for next summer.
I will probably be at school in Great Barrington MA next year, and while there isn't a farming program at the college, I will find programs to get involved in. I will find small, local farms to work on. I will find opportunities to learn more about farming, and to gain experience.
It's good to be back, and motivated.

Motivation

I went through a few day slump, when I didn't get into one college to which I applied. I am back with motivation, because I just got accepted to a college in Massachusetts.
They don't have a sustainable agriculture program, so I will have to find ways to incorporate this extracurricular interest into my program of study.
I'll be in New England, which has a lot of small farms, so I'll probably be able to work with one of the farms in the surrounding area.
I just wrote to a farm in Maine about the possibility of working there over spring break, so we will see.

It will be my responsibility to set my own path, if I want to continue my focus on agriculture.

Continuing

I was feeling a bit sad about not getting to one of the colleges. Now, I've decided to stop feeling sad, and get back to writing for the cause that I care about.
What I need to do is find opportunities to work in agriculture, while I am in high school. I should just find a place, and get started on working.

Rejected.

I didn't get into the college in Vermont that I applied to.
I guess I will have to find some farming opportunities here in LA.
Some of my friends have sent me info about possibilities in this area. I am now looking into them, and familiarizing myself with LA public transportation.
Rejection letters can be crushing.
