Cool story of a High School student from Texas.

I really enjoyed seeing this young man and what he did with this John Deere. Thought I would share.

I have no reason to be cynical, but after going through years of Cub Scouts with my boys, I am always a wee bit skeptical about this stuff. I really hope the kid did the work and I am happy for him. Too many times I saw dads do 100% of the work and 'win' derbies for their kids. This is not helped by the high percentage of cheating that happens where I teach. It sounds like this is not one of those kids.

I do not know this young man and have no reason to believe he did not do the work.

I've always wanted to restore an old tractor. Maybe when I'm older and caught up on everything that I want to do with my place first, but somehow I doubt it will ever happen.

Back in High School, I had a few friends that restored their cars from the 60's. We all drove junkers, but they where able to make those cars look better then new. To this day, I still can't find the time, money, or energy to do what they did as teenagers.

Taking on a tractor in such a sorry state and restoring it to its original condition showcases his dedication, perseverance, and incredible work ethic. Winning $10,000 towards his college tuition at Texas A&M University is a well-deserved reward. Stories like Dylan’s highlight how hands-on experiences can serve as a solution for lack of education in practical and technical fields. His passion for tractors and agricultural machinery, which began at the young age of six, continues to drive his ambition to study Agriculture and make a difference in the industry.

Especially with homework help when I used https://ca.edubirdie.com/homework-help for college. I’ll write a story here one day, I just don’t have time right now. It is a pity that much is forgotten; unfortunately, our whole life cannot be written down.

Agree with you
