Another update

Over the past month, I've been busy at school, working hard in all subjects. In addition, I've done some work on an organic farm in Connecticut. There, I've learned goat milking, and done other tasks, such as planting garlic, spreading mulch, and weeding. The work I've done there has already been a valuable experience, and I hope to continue doing work there. I am still aiming and aspiring to go into agriculture as a career, and I hope to gain more skills and knowledge. Next summer, I'll most likely be doing an agricultural apprenticeship. In the meantime, I'm looking for more experience that I can gain. I have a long vacation in December-January, five weeks, and I think it would be helpful for me to gain some farming experience during that period. Working during that time would be a valuable and productive use of my time. It will most likely be challenging to find work on a farm, at least in the US, over break, because it will be the winter, which is usually the time when there is the least amount of activity, and thus the least amount of need for apprentices.
