Archrival is a prominent ad agency in Nebraska. Today in class we had co-founder of the agency (a former Husker) come and speak. He mentioned the elephant in the ad world, creativity. He said although creativity usually is a talent, it also can be learned. It takes commitment and passion! With those words I had a flashback to a recent conversation I had with a pair of friends of friends.
We had a great long conversation about how much I value my agriculture background, and then it took a different turn. We began to discuss our careers and futures. I'm in agriculture communications because that's where passion and commitment lie. Now I'm not sure what exactly I'll be doing when I graduate, there are no guarantees, but I'm sure I'll be using my voice in and for agriculture.
In a world where young people are stereotyped as uncaring, lazy, and unispired, I see commitment and passion all around me. Whether it's for solving the problems and equations of engineering, or designing and creating advertising, or mixing rations and moving cattle. That's the future, and it's looking so bright I gotta put on my shades!
'till the cows come home,
Ellie
