It's been over two months. I'm now a first year in university, and it's going quite well.
I have been trying to find opportunities on local farms, in the Berkshires.
Last week, I learned how to milk a goat. This was quite a rewarding experience.
Learning how to milk a goat, and then doing academic work made me ponder education.
There are two parts of education.
There is the theoretical part, which consists of reading classic books.
This is in addition to the practical component of education, which teaches students how to fulfill necessary practical tasks.
If all the students with the highest SAT scores were put on a dairy farm, they would, most likely, not know how to be useful.
I'll continue finding work on local farms.
Eventually, I hope to be at a school where agriculture is a component of the curriculum.
