Bula, I come from the burning West specifically, the Jetset Town (Nadi). Farming is old-fashioned and is only meant for the illiterate were the words that still remain strong in my heart and a promise to alter this thought, lured my interest in agriculture. A fruit does not fall from the tree became true when I chose to further my studies in Agriculture just like my parents.

Youths nowadays are so engrossed in attaining a suitable white-collar job without realising the ultimate gains which agriculture can offer. Studying crop science during my Bachelors and being involved in farming on a daily basis has shown me the various aspects of agriculture, in particular, the importance of bees in a farmer's life. Bees have no time for sorrow, if they did, the honey would not be so sweet. Likewise, we have so much information around us, however, we choose to limit ourselves and blame the circumstances.
