I am a future agricultural educator by choice and not by chance.
I believe in the future of agriculture and know it is in the hands of the next generation.
I will use my passion to inspire and change the lives of young agriculturalists, just as my
agricultural education teacher before me.
I realize I am a unique individual as it takes a special person to teach agriculture.
I know my path will be full of challenges. Even though there will be many long, dark nights of
studying, I will remember the light at the end of the tunnel and survive the struggles to one day
impact the world.
Some people dream of success, I will work hard to achieve it.
I will join the ranks of agricultural education teachers that served as role models for me and one
day become that role model for my students.
I will build relationships and gain experiences that will prepare me to wear the many hats of an
agricultural education teacher and be ready to grow my own FFA family and community of
fellow agriculturalists to feed the future.
I believe in my ability to persevere so that one day, I can do what I love and love what I do!
