AP Prompts Essay #3

Q: Pretend to contribute to a magazine or newspaper; write an article describing a place you know well that might be of interest to readers. Define the significance, use descriptive detail to make attitude clear.

          In the Santa Barbara County Fair many students from various high schools and organizations are presented with the opportunity of exhibiting their SAE projects at the fair. Students are able to embark on a hands on experience by raising live stock animals such as lambs, goats, pigs, steers, chickens, turkeys, and more. They are presented with their animals months before the fair where they are responsible for their health and growth. Throughout these months they preform various tasks to maintain these animals like walking them, cleaning their pens, giving them water, feeding them everyday, and weighing them to keep up with their growth progress. Once the fair gets closer students begin practicing for showmanship where they are presented with the opportunity of exhibiting their animal to a professional judge. Throughout this journey students learn to manage their time, be responsible for their animal, and they are able to make a profit out of it once they're done.During fair week showmanship begins where they have to present and exhibit their animals to the judge, but before they do that they must make they're animals presentable. For example a kid who has a lamb must wash their animal and sheer their wool making sure that they are clean when it's their time to present. Finally it's auction day and students sell their animals to different organizations that pay them a certain amount of money per pound. This then concludes the amazing experience that students are presented with at school that provides them with new hands on opportunities that eventually also helps with the growth of the student. Making it a experience of a life time.
