Yep, sounds about right... I got my Eagle Scout at 13, and this next year am starting on an AS Degree from a local school, which I will have by the time I am 18...
Mom tells me I could be anything in the world (money money money) and I keep telling her I want to be a farmer, always have... She finally came out and told me the other day that "You couldn't survive in farming, just like everyone else, give up that dream and do something more logical" Well he!!, all of the farmers in the world might has well give up then huh!?!?!

Every kid that had gone up there said that they were going to make video games, be a pop star, scientist, all of these BIG professions, and every time they would say what they wanted to be, they would be done, the crowd would clap and cheer, and they would walk off stage.
Well, the boy before me was 15 at the time and said that he wanted to be a Nuclear Chemist (what???) and the crowd went nuts, the stood up and CHEERED for this kid, so I went up, I was 13, told every one I made a huge bridge for my project, and then the man asked me, "Bryce, what are you going to be when you grow up?"
I looked out over the crowd with a smile and said, I AM GOING to be a farmer. My parents were the only ones that clapped...
Sad world that we live in, but that's just the way it goes... Bryce
