School is Going.... At Full Swing

This semester has definitely been a crazy, hectic, fun one for sure! I have loved every minute of this semester. Sigma Alpha is going great, I get to hang out with all of my sisters and friends, I have a job on campus that is fun and I actually don't mind going to, even if it is early. My classes are going good, some of them are challenging but I am working hard and putting in 110% effort to everything that I am doing. My schedule can be crazy some weeks (actually most weeks) but I manage to survive. My week ends on Thursday, so I get a nice relaxing weekend to hang out with friends, go out, go home or do whatever I feel like doing. I am definitely ready for a break though! I think everyone is... Thanksgiving break is fast approaching which means the semester is coming to an end quickly. I can't wait to see what next semester has in store for me. I will be ready to attack it head on and make the best out of everything that it has in store for me. I Love college!!, to say the least.

Catching Up On Everything!

So, it has definitely been a while since I wrote. I finished my first year of college!!!!!! WOW it went by way too fast. My second semester of college was so much fun. I definitely made friends for life! My big and twin did so much to help me out and one of my best friends, my Sidekick for life, helped too. Although my big and sidekick graduated I will still get to see them and I talk to them regularly! I know that my summer break just started, in May, but I am ready to go back and have a great fun time. My twin in my sorority will make everything so much more interesting, we really have too much fun together sometimes, but it just making memories!
I moved dorms for the fall, I will be living in regents. I will be closer to more of my friends and I will also have my car parked closer even though I could have parked close anyways. For school I am taking 17 hours and really starting to get into the core of my degree. I am starting to learn more and more about actually teaching and what it is going to take and I am thrilled. I applied for admissions to teacher ed services to start taking teaching classes and I am still waiting to hear if I was accepted to the program.
So far this summer I have watched enough netflix to last me the rest of my life but its so boring staying home all the time. I'm looking for a job here and down at school to save up for an apartment, but so far no luck. I'm still trying though, that's all I can do! I did get pigs though, and cows but, I'm more excited about the pigs. They are soo cute and I can't wait to have babies out of them. This is definitely a learning experience for me because I haven't dealt with swine or cattle and my dad is teaching me so much about them that I will be able to use in the future. I am going to take classes but they don't teach real life experience that you can learn hands on in a farm setting.
I hope to have fun this summer and enjoy my friends and family. Summer is for relaxing and I am for sure getting my fill.... I will be plenty ready when I go back! Hope to be back soon and update more about what is going on with my life and more while I am in school.

My Career Path

I have chosen to attend college in pursuance of a degree in Agricultural Education. Going through high school and talking  with my advisors I realized more and more that I wanted to be a part of something so great. I have always wanted to be a teacher, but growing up the subjects have varied from kindergarden to middle school science, and now to Agriculture. I realize how luck I am to have been a part of such a great organization and how much my advisors really, truely helped me. In a way, my pursuing a degree in Agriculture is sort of a thanks, but it is also my true passion, to teach others about where their clothes, food, and many parts of the everyday things in their life come from.
Thank you to My ag teachers and advisors... I would have never chosen this path if you had not shown me how awesome it is!

FFA promotes respect

Today's challenge is respect! Through out high school, while I was a member of the FFA, I learned a lot about respect: for myself, my advisors,my family & parents,  my fellow classmates, fellow FFA members, my competitors, and most importantly farmers and Agriculture. I can't even begin to describe how awesome the FFA is and how much it has changed me, taught me fantastic qualities, and prepared me for so much more than I ever dreamed of. I am so privileged to have been blessed by God and the FFA. :)

Service Through the FFA

The National FFA promotes Service in so many aspects, they hold the National Day of Service and encourage many chapters to hold their own day of service, and suggest volunteer time/ community service be a regular part of the chapters Program of Activities. I know that my chapter and several in my region hold different community service events for the members, and generally they enjoy them. Service is a huge part of FFA.
