Entry No. 12 Dude that was an awesome CDOW

During Thursday the 17 our freshman class went on the career day on wheels were we were given the opportunity to experience different job opportunities in the world. I went to the ag one. I was pretty happy with their decision because I want to be a farmer. I have lived on a farm my entire life. Anyways we went to a lot of cool places. Our first stop was the Tremont Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Walsh showed us the whole place and what they do there for their job. They showed us the animals there and they showed us a surgery room where they perform their surgeries. Next we went to the Syngenta seed research plant in Pekin. They showed us how they package and process their seed and genetics and how the plant works. They also had a big robot arm that stacked the bags, that was pretty cool in my point of view. I also thought the big elevators were pretty cool to go up. At the end they gave us Syngenta seed hats at the end. We next ate lunch at Steak and Shake, We all had big shakes for lunch I had a bacon cheeseburger. Then we all went back to Minier and toured the John Deere store at Cross Implement. Rick Cross showed us the store and how they do their business. We then went around and looked at farm machinery for the rest of the day. The only disappointing thing was that the career day only lasted until two o’clock that day. I wanted to miss 5th block and keep on looking at careers!

Weihmeir,
I really liek the CDOW also. I think the ag one was the greatest. It was a lot of fun. Since i am going to probably be a farmer i thought that it was a great trip.
