Caleb the Farmer

Once upon a time there was a boy who lived on a farm with his family. His name was Caleb. His grandparent's had lived on it. His great grandparent's had lived on it. His great great\grandparent's had lived on it. Caleb knew that it was his responsibility to take care of the cattle after his father was gone. Even though the only education that required was what he learned growing up, he still went to college. He majored in Animal Science with a double major in Horticulture, and a minor in Biochemistry. Often friends would ask, "what do you want to do with that?" He always responded, "I don't know." He had some ideas about the great things he could achieve in life, but at the same time, his heart was drawn to the land he had grown up on. Many people wondered why he wanted to stay in his hometown when he was so brillant and could accomplish so much. He eventually learned that no matter how much money you could make or how famous you could be, what's important is that you do something you love. He returned home to help out his parents and raised his own children on the farm he had grown to love.
