Ag Academy Advantages

Since fourth grade, I’ve been recognized as a GT student, which stands for gifted and talented. I’ve been selected to participate in the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders summer program and the National Youth Leadership Forum for National Security, Diplomacy, Intelligence, and Defense. My school district has selected me to attended SA-PREP (Prefreshman Engineering Program) for the past four summers. Each of those summers have been spent at San Antonio local colleges such as Northwest Vista College, Texas A&M San Antonio, St. Mary’s University, and University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA). PREP is a two-month summer seminar and is a STEM

And my introduction I chose Ag class because I think it has many different clubs inside of Ag class, They have many activities to build in Ag class and last there is many responsibilities you as a student have to handle in Ag class. I think Ag is a great choice for anyone because you get to do Hands-On stuff and you get to take home what you build when you are finished with the class.

Future Farmers of America (FFA) is the nation’s largest youth organization that steers students in a direction of career success and premier leadership. Like most organizations FFA is very conscious of making career success and leadership their goals for students, so why might FFA be the best option for the students? This organization highly impacts students because it is an inter-curricular activity instead of an extracurricular activity. FFA is an organization well known across the country. This organization is perceived to just be available for farm and ranch kids, but this is open to help all students. It is a long-standing tradition of honesty, strong worth ethic and fairness. It provides numerous

High school is an important time for developing a sense of who you are as a person. Each kid who starts out high school will usually asks themselves what they are there to accomplish. For the most part, many set personal goals for themselves and strive to achieve above and beyond. However, some are just there for the experience and to see where it takes them. It’s apparent that some kids have an easier time and don’t have to struggle with their high school career. For example, some of the students have followed strong academic paths that have prepared them for this time in their lives, where as others have struggled with educational influences and feel unprepared or lost. Swerdlow mentions that the students, who attend J.E.B. Stuart, are given many chances to improve their educational foundation in order to

In Order to achieve my goals, I need to get accepted into High Tech High School. There are many goals that I want to achieve when I am accepted into this high school. First, I want to join this high school because I want to get the best quality of learning. Secondly, I want to join because of the variety of courses, and the extracurricular activities. Finally, and most importantly I want to achieve my most important goal of becoming my dream career.

High school is one of the most important things to a student's life. It is the foundation

Even though I am only a sophomore in High School, and people's minds change all the time, I’ve been in love with animals since starting elementary school and I’ve also taken French since Kindergarten because I was enrolled in a French Immersion school. Over the years I have volunteered for many organizations that help, and support animals. Some include my local humane society and the K-9 lifesavers organization. I know that Veterinary Schools are extremely selective, however by taking my school work seriously and attending programs like Ag-discovery, I have a greater chance at getting accepted. I have several schools that are in mind such as UC Davis and Colorado State University. After getting accepted into college, to become more social and comfortable, I want to invest my free time in Pre-Vet clubs at my school to get myself acquainted with other students who share my interest. For Grad school, I want to study abroad in Africa and Europe, where I can be apart of the International Vet Medicine programs and aid countries with little resources. Ag-Discovery will definitely be step in that direction and provide me with a window onto those opportunities. When I finish school, I hope to own my own Veterinary Practice by the age of 36. By then I will have all necessary resources and experiences to help and medicate

Being admitted into college is a difficult process, one that requires students to be diligent in their studies, engage in a number of extracurricular activities, and overcome the everyday pressures and challenges that high-schoolers face across the country. Admittedly, not everyone in the United States is born with the same opportunities as socioeconomic factors as well as historic injustices have contributed to a society in which some people are far more likely to achieve upward mobility – of which, obtaining a college degree is a necessary part – than others. While there is need to rectify this reality,

In the classroom: Intro to agriculture was introduced to all things FFA and has been in the shop the entire month of October learning to oxy-fuel and ARC weld. They have also learned basic CNC design skills that will be strengthened during their time at SVHS. They were put into groups and created CNC designs that were then cut-out and put into the silent auction at the Pig, Swig and Jig. Ag Earth science is beginning their unit on soil and from there, will learn about Earth’s atmosphere. Ag leadership has been working their way through different “habitudes.” These are leadership practices that everyone should practice and apply in their daily lives. Ag Bio has been trucking through the new sustainable agriculture biology curriculum. They have studied sustainability and how it can be applied in agriculture and tested using the scientific method. We will soon be diving into photosynthesis and composting.

To help further myself I made the decision to attend the Animal and Botanical Sciences Academy at Freehold Township High School. This required me to leave the friends that I had made in my hometown in order to take specialty classes that I was interested in. When I entered Freehold Township High School I only knew one other student and was very intimidated in the new environment. It was in the agriculture class that I was able to find my place and make friends because of my agriculture teachers and FFA advisors. By entering the academy I joined the National FFA Organization, a youth run organization that promotes premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. The National FFA Organization has provided me with a multitude of opportunities. I have had the chance to compete on the state and national level in various areas of agriculture, participated in an array of leadership conferences, and served as a state officer for the New Jersey FFA

Idaho will consider having ag classes as a requirement for graduating. Which means u will have to take two classes of ag to graduate and get your high school diploma. Everyone should take ag class it would help with the real world problems.

For the past four years, I have been heavily involved with agriculture. I have been an officer in the Burley FFA Chapter, managed my own farming operation, worked for different farmers, and learned many new skills that will help me in college and beyond.

For many people in eighth grade, their college and career paths are uncertain. As for me, my college and career is already mapped out. I already know that I want to have in computer sciences, and I already know that I will be successful if I were in one of Kingsway’s academies. The field that I want to get into, computer sciences, could fall into both, the STEM and BLA, academies. Computer sciences could fall under the “Technology” or “Engineering” part of the STEM program. It could also fall under BLA because of its focus on technology and problem solving. In addition to my educational field, the academies will help me achieve my goal of becoming something similar to a computer systems analyst. Both of the academies could help me work on

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word Ag teacher? Is it parliamentary procedure? Or how about the public speaking competitions? It could even be soil judging. I think of all the time that you spend at the school or at FFA functions. FFA is a great way for students to get involved with their community and events around the United States. But what is the main thing needed for all of this? That’s right you got it, a teacher. Ag teachers are the best teachers out there, all the activities you do, the building, conventions, and many more things, but with the shortage of Ag teachers this could end soon.

First of all, the program ACE signifies the opportunity to go after my dreams.The education received in this program, grants a person knowledge and understanding to a superior life and brings them one leap closer to their career. When thinking of how life would be in a few years from now it’s important to know that education brings a distinct perspective. Such as, a pediatrician requires a four year undergraduate course at a college or university. After those four years there will still be seven years
