Rural Wisconsin is an exceptionally beautiful place to grow up in and the community that I grew up in was very supportive. My family has lived and worked on the family dairy farm for three generations in Lone Rock, Wisconsin. The dedication that my parents and older brothers display on a daily basis through their work ethic has taught me many valuable skills. I also gained many inspiring opportunities through agriculture, predominantly through FFA at River Valley High School. But as I continued to grow as an individual I found that my true passion lay in helping others, especially those less fortunate than myself. I have always thought of others before myself simply as a life principle. I became very involved with my community such as volunteering at the nursing home, running clothing drives, and helping food drives all through FFA and 4-H. I learned early on that my education was important to me and I strove to do my absolute best. My education, FFA, and other organizations had allowed me to broaden my horizons in both my professional and personal life. I have found many friends and professional associates through agriculture and while I will not be pursuing an agricultural career I would not change my agricultural background for anything. Agriculture taught me dedication, work ethic, responsibility, compassion, and patience; all things that I will use in my future endeavors. My future plan is to pursue a health career so that I can positively impact the lives of others. I would truly enjoy working in a rural community where I could help those in need.
