Junior Perspective of the process, from semen testing to sale day. To this day, working the pens with that crew is one of my favorite memories from CSC. I knew as my junior college days were coming to an end, that my undergrad college education was going by way too fast and I couldn’t slam on the brakes hard enough. The world kept spinning and the brakes weren’t working. As I finish up my time on campus at Oklahoma State, my mind, like many other peers, keeps going back to one question, “am I ready?” Am I ready to be the leader of an agriculture chapter? Am I ready to teach a full classroom of students? Am I ready to be solely independent? Am I ready to not have a college student schedule? The answer to all of those are eventually going to be yes. Whether we know it or not, we are prepared for most of life’s questions. We may not understand the solution at this stage, but when the time comes, we will. With this in mind, we should never be afraid of what the future holds for us. Looking out that vehicle window should never scare us. The joy of the ride is the goal of the ride. Because the fact of the matter is, no matter how hard we try to slow down, we’re still going to be moving at what seems like 70-mph. With only one certainty, the brakes aren’t going to be working, so we should sit back and enjoy our own 70-mph ride. I 14 TH ANNUAL SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 2019 - 1 P.M.
