This young, hardworking woman in her early 20s is breaking stereotypes about the role of youth in rural areas by helping her father with all agricultural work. She drives a tractor, plows fields, and, on top of it all, studies medical biochemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balancing her obligations at the Faculty of Pharmacy in Novi Sad with the demanding work on her family farm, Tamara demonstrates remarkable energy, dedication, and love for her hometown. Her story highlights the importance of family support, traditional values, and finding harmony between modern education and rural life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamara\u2019s father, who is primarily responsible for the farm, points out that farming has become much more challenging over the past 30 years. He emphasizes how valuable Tamara\u2019s help has been in fieldwork and grain transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Tamara, she finds joy in all the farm work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEver since I can remember, my dad has been engaged in farming. Watching how hard he works to improve and how much he loves what he does, despite sometimes being dissatisfied, he has always been my motivation. I wanted to contribute, to help, to make things easier for them. Yes, I\u2019m a girl, but that doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m incapable\u2014I can drive, I can help, and nothing is too difficult for me. I may be small, but I manage,\u201d Tamara says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02RwRucreyJRber4rrLQBnUCnBwKQZxCxifWfzJZzCpxKBKbSkeQtqNmEWGoxuKeHPl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"595\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cI Want to Follow in My Father\u2019s Footsteps\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tamara explains that she enrolled in university at her father\u2019s urging, even though farming remains her primary passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy actual desire was to follow in my father\u2019s footsteps and continue farming. But I didn\u2019t have much support because he\u2019s more experienced, he knows what lies ahead, and he knows it won\u2019t be easy. So, it was his wish for me to go to university, to study, and later have a career. Right now, I\u2019m split between what I want\u2014farming\u2014and university. I can\u2019t say I don\u2019t love biochemistry, but this is my home, my village; I was born and raised here. I was brought up knowing how to work, never feeling ashamed of it. I help my dad, especially during the summer when I have fewer university obligations. While he drives the combine harvester, I handle grain transport to the mill. I also love plowing, but I enjoy harrowing the most\u2014it really clears my mind,\u201d Tamara says with a smile in an interview with the YouTube channel <em>\u201cMa\u010dva Info\u201d<\/em>. She adds that working with new machinery isn\u2019t a problem for her, which is why the whole family strives to equip the farm with the most modern equipment as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T9CHgMty36I?si=iNP1CPzQ2ecIe3zv\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cPeople Shouldn\u2019t Leave Villages\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who studies in Novi Sad, Tamara admits she doesn\u2019t enjoy the daily hustle and bustle of city life, which is why she believes living in the countryside is much better. She firmly believes that people should not abandon rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople really shouldn\u2019t leave villages. Quite the opposite\u2014those from the city should come to the countryside and see what peace and freedom feel like. Here, no one is trapped within four walls. I also hope people will wake up and start supporting us young farmers, as well as experienced ones, because they\u2019ve been doing this for years. I believe the future lies in this,\u201d says Tamara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked if she\u2019s received comments about her unusual lifestyle and work for a young woman, Tamara admits that she has, ranging from positive to not-so-nice remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cMore Capable Than Any Boy in the Village\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere have been various comments, of course, some nice, others not so great, but that\u2019s okay. My job is to work and help. I\u2019m not ashamed of it. I have friends who are involved in similar work and are successful at it,\u201d Tamara concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although she isn\u2019t the only one helping her family with farming in her village\u2014there are three other young women who have taken over the farm work after their father\u2019s heart surgery\u2014Tamara\u2019s neighbor says: \u201cShe\u2019s capable, more capable than any boy in the village and in the whole of Ma\u010dva. I have no words\u2014she\u2019s the best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/epic-scandal-in-romania-ruling-party-paid-for-tiktok-campaign-that-led-to-the-annulment-of-georgescus-victory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EPIC SCANDAL IN ROMANIA: Ruling party paid for TikTok campaign that led to the annulment of Georgescu\u2019s victory!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/chicago-is-cultivating-future-olympic-champions-young-karatekas-promise-to-bring-gold-to-serbia-one-day-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CHICAGO IS CULTIVATING FUTURE OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS: Young Karatekas promise to bring gold to Serbia one day!
