Personal Statement
My ultimate goals in life are to live a life with purpose and make this place better for future generations. I grew up on a farm and started helping with chores at a young age. I gained more responsibilities with each year. From these experiences, I have learned the value of hard work and anything worth doing should be done to the best of my ability. I felt like the biggest impact I could make would be to continue in the field of agriculture and pursue the education side using mass communication. From this, I can help people understand this vitally important field that everyone needs. Farmers and ranchers now make up less than 2% of the population, so although agriculture affects everyone, most people don't know anything about it. We are blessed to live in a rural area where most people have had hand-on agricultural experiences, but most of the population has not. I have already started in this endeavor through our local radio station. I host a weekday farm report called Farm Girl. Hopefully, I can make a difference and help to reverse this problem.
