So God Made An Ag Student

To the student in all of us.

So God Made An Ag Student

And on the ninth day, God looked down on his fields and pastures and said, “I need someone to trust with the future." So God made an AG student.

God said, “I need someone to wake up before the dawn to do chores and only stop for breakfast when they have time, then spend all day in class then go to work, come home just to work more and study until after dark." So God made an AG student.

“I need someone with quick enough steps to make it across campus and back on time for class yet patient enough to stop and hold the door for the person behind them because that's just what you do. Somebody to plug in numbers, take measurements, study weather patterns, sell a product and still have time to make it to church on Sunday — willingly and happily." So God made an AG student.

God said, “I need somebody to stay up late until well after the sun sets studying the same material over and over again until they simply can't any longer and if they aren't happy with the grade they get back they'll say 'I'll try harder next time.' I need someone to take notes, listen to their teachers, ask questions and go the extra mile just for knowledge." So God made an AG student.

God needed someone who would pass up on going out on Friday night because there were chores that needed to be done early tomorrow and a paper due Monday, but someone who would drop everything the moment someone was in trouble. So God made an AG student.

God said, "I need someone brave enough to stand their ground against those who slander the industry that they love but kind enough to make room for their niece or nephew in the big tractor that they love riding in so much." So God made an AG student.

It had to be someone passionate and dedicated who'd never take the easy way out or sell Grandpa's farm. Somebody to educate the public and combat the disconnection from those who simply don't know. Someone who genuinely wants to spend their life "doing what Dad does." So God made an AG student.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
