Looking at the Positive!

We all have heard about the negative things going on in this world over and over. So, I am going to talk about the positive things I see happening this semester! So far, many of my classes have decided to meet in person. This I great for both the students and the professors because most people find it much easier to engage in class when it is in person. I am already enjoying many of my classes this semester because all the concepts connect well. I currently am taking 4 agronomy courses and one entomology course (you can’t get much better schedule than that). I will be able to learn about insect ecology, crop physiology, soil fertility, forages, and world crops at the same time. These classes taken together create a very good picture of what challenges agronomist are facing. Many of my classes are challenging, which will push me to stay on task and develop new knowledge/understanding. I think many of the classes I take will help me in future jobs, especially soil fertility. They will also really allow me to understand the position world agriculture is in and what we need to improve about or crop and soil management. Once again I would like to say that as we start this semester, please keep your focus on the positive. It makes everything seem impossible and upsetting when you only focus on the negative in this world.
