While growing up in a small rural agricultural based town, I was put in the farming and ranching environment from a small child. This gave me the opportunity to grow crops, show livestock and how a ranch or farm should be operated. With these qualities and opportunities bestowed on me from a young child I grew to love the agricultural and want to stay in touch with agriculture. Not only did I grow up involved in it I placed myself in FFA so I could learn even more about agriculture and the correct ways to run and work your faming/ ranching operation. Along with outstanding leadership skills that have lead me to hold officer positions. Along with FFA I was also a leader on and off the softball field and that is the number one place I learned to be a team player and that the only way to reach your goals was to work together.

Since I was in involved and loved the agricultural feeling of life, I chose to obtain a degree in Agricultural Education. I want to have the opportunity to change the outlook of a student and let them know what it takes to be in this kind of business, that it truly is difficult and we would really be at a loss if there were not as many outstanding farmers that there are today. I want them to have all the chances and opportunities I received while in the FFA organization along with all the life lessons I received threw the organization. The best way to become a leader is to “step up and stand out” and that is one of the most remember able quotes I was ever told in ffa just because it is true, I would not have wanted to do anything related to agriculture let alone even continue my education if it would not have been for my ag teachers pushing me telling me I can and will success. Even though I hated the pushing and persistence of my Ag teachers, I cannot help but think back and thank them for everything they ever put me through. Because they are the reason I was so interested in pursuing agricultural education.

I strongly believe I have all the quality it takes to give today’s children the agricultural information they need to receive in order for are farming and ranching to continue on the same steady path it is on. With the leadership, responsibility, determination and background I can honestly tell you I am great candidate to teach today’s children.

Dear Mrs. ,

I have enclosed my resume as well for you to review.

I am a competent healthcare professional who can develop and maintain a working relationship with physicians, staff, and my patients. With my years of experience, I have also developed leadership skills that are so important in the healthcare team.
