Preview of Coming Attractions

My group and I thought of some ideas we thought would be interesting to include in the final presentations to make them a little more entertaining and keep peoples attention. The following list includes some of our ideas:
  • Having bloopers throughout the video to keep peoples attention.
  • Provide a draft listing your preparation of your masterpiece.
  • Name, or include, a few experts from your masterpiece.
  • Explain your progress.
  • Overall, make it unique and have FUN!

THE CROSSROADS BETWEEN SHOULD AND MUST

Where am I in relation to the crossroads? Well that is a tough question. I would have to say that I am still stuck in between listing all the pros and cons of each path. Without hesitation on a regular day I would most likely select the 'should' path just because it is always the safest. It is time I learn to take risks and try and explore the path of 'must'. I do not want to look back in life and reminisce all the times filled with disappointment because I was always afraid to try something new.

I must always do what I know is right and not just let it pass by and wait for a second opportunity to pass by. I want to say I see myself headed down the 'must' path because I am doing  anything possible to fulfill my dreams and pursue my career in agribusiness. It is difficult at times because it is once again the time of year when I become very busy with the animals I raise to take to fair, but I try my hardest to stay on track.
