Although Wade Financial Services focuses more on the farm and ranch production side, these services are a huge need in agriculture. With growing population in the world developing strong farming operations is a must. The difficulty of economic growth in the agricultural industry is devastating to farmers and ranchers. The public think that these problems only occur to young farmers and ranchers. That is far from the truth because of the economic lows in the prices of raw commodities. Without the dedication of people like Penny and her crew the agricultural community would be in a worse economic

For one, I am proud to have consistently achieved not only the Dean’s List, but the President’s Honour Roll every year of my undergraduate career. These awards are presented to those who maintain a cumulative average above 80% and 90%, respectively. I strive to work to the best of my ability in my education, particularly in subjects that I truly find fascinating. Satisfying the requirements for these awards each year is indicative of my perseverance throughout my education, despite the many obstacles and stressors that are accompanied with life. Another accomplishment I take pride in is my increasing contributions to the community. Over the past three years, I have been pushing myself to associate with clubs and organizations revolving around the community. I was previously an executive member of Mission: Possible, a University organization devoted to raising funds and resources for the local Downtown Mission, as well as my program’s student association, which fundraises for a selected charity each year. I am currently the vice president of the Mental Health Awareness Association at my university, a group dedicated to raising funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association as well as raising awareness regarding the stigma surrounding mental health. One final accomplishment that I am proud of is consistently volunteering as an emergency responder for the University of Windsor Student Medical

What kind of paper should an eventual participant expect to prove? What will be the schedule of the program?
