Rio Grande City High School senior named South Texas Ag Student of the Week -Week 4
I have actively immersed myself in various agricultural programs, showcasing my dedication to the field. My involvement in 4-H at the club, county and district level, Rio Grande City FFA, Norman Borlaug Youth in Agriculture Program, and my volunteer work with the Livestock Validation Committee underscores my commitment to agricultural practices, education, and community service.
In 4-H and FFA, I have honed my leadership skills, developed a deep appreciation for livestock management, and participated in community-building initiatives. The Norman Borlaug Youth in Agriculture Program has provided me with valuable insights into the global challenges and innovations in agriculture, inspiring a broader perspective on sustainable practices. My main focus is water insecurities solutions for both rural and urban agriculture settings in Texas.
My volunteer role with the Livestock Validation Committee has allowed me to contribute directly to the quality assurance and validation processes within the livestock industry. This experience has not only broadened my understanding of industry standards but has also reinforced the importance of attention to detail and precision in agricultural practices.
In addition to my hands-on involvement, my academic coursework has been carefully selected to deepen my understanding of agricultural sciences. Courses such as Intro to Agriculture, Small Animal Management, Equine Science, Veterinary Medical Applications, and Advanced Animal Science have provided me with a strong foundation in animal husbandry and veterinary practices. My endorsement area is the Business and Industry path in agriculture.
To complement my practical knowledge, I have pursued a rigorous science curriculum, including Pre-AP Biology, Chemistry, Pre-AP Physics, and AP Environmental Science. These courses have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the biological and chemical principles that underpin agricultural systems and environmental sustainability.
My academic and extracurricular pursuits collectively reflect my passion for agriculture and my commitment to gaining a well-rounded education in this field. I am excited about
the prospect of applying these skills and experiences to future endeavors in the agricultural sector.
