Advice to HS students wanting to attend college:

Don’t be afraid to get involved and meet new people. Western offers many opportunities, so take advantage of the clubs, organizations, scholarships, and activities available. Get to know your professors and don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. College can seem intimidating at first, but Western is a great place to start because you can build relationships and figure out what direction you want to take with your future.

Why did you choose the agriculture field to study?

I chose Agricultural Science with an Ag Education, Communication, and Leadership option, along with Applied Animal Science, because it combines the areas of agriculture I enjoy most. I have always enjoyed working with animals and being involved in agriculture, but I also discovered that I really enjoy teaching, communicating with others, and being a leader. This major allows me to continue learning about animal science while also preparing me to teach and share my knowledge of agriculture with others. My long-term goal is to become an agriculture instructor at the college level.
