What I seek in a cooperating center?

  1. A diverse program with more than one type of Ag class. 
    1. Since I come from a purely Vet Assisting program, I would like to experience a program that offers more than one type of Ag class. 
  2. A program with an active FFA Chapter 
    1. I would like to experience a program that has a very active and successful FFA program. I come from a program that faced a lot of challenges so I would like to see what it takes for an FFA chapter to reach its full potential. 
  3. A program that encourages students to participate in CDE's
    1. This is really important to me as I never participated in CDE's in high school. I would really like to see what it takes to prepare students for these competitions. 
  4. A program that has members who show livestock as their SAE.
    1. One of my favorite things in high school and one of the reasons I decided to become an Ag teacher was showing pigs. However, because I come from a very suburban area I never had any experiences with other species. I would love to be pushed even more out of my comfort zone by seeing what it takes to show other species.

As of today, Polio is so close to being eradicated because of the efforts of rotarians.  Providing clean water: ( Rotary Provides water, sanitation and hygiene video ) Saving mothers and children: ( Rotary Supports Mothers and Babies video ) Supporting Education: ( Rotary Supports Education Video   Easing Poverty: ( Rotary Supports Local Economies Vi...

The End of a Journey (Week 12 of Student teaching)

Image
  I can't believe that student teaching is already over. It feels like my first day was just last week. My student teaching experience was quite the roller coaster ride. From behavior problems, to having almost my whole class quarantined, to having a false positive COVID test it was quite a wild ride.  I think the biggest thing I've learned from this experience is to trust myself. Trust in my abilities and my knowledge but don't be afraid to admit when you are wrong. Oh and always always always keep learning because you will never know everything.  It didn't really hit me until about 2:00 on Friday that this experience was coming to an end. All of us have been preparing for student teaching since Freshman year and now its magically over. In a little over a week I will be graduating with two degrees and I just can't believe I did it. I accomplished both degrees oh and student taught in a pandemic...  Student teaching in a pandemic is a wild experience that comes with...
