It’s crazy to believe that it has been a year since I first
started college at ISU! Coming to Iowa State University was a pretty big change for this
girl, but one of the best decisions I have ever made. As I look back at my
first year at Iowa State I have had so many unbelievable opportunities but
these are some of my favorites!
1.) Agriculture
There is just something truly special about the people that
work and live for the agricultural industry. Being raised on a diversified row
crop and livestock operation I have been able to experience many sides of the
industry that have shown me that I want to pursue agronomy or nutrition sales after
Iowa State.
Now…as an Agronomy and International Agricultural Relations
major with a minor in animal science I am excited to see what the industry that
I grew up in and still love today has to offer.
2.) Friends
What would I do without my incredibly weird, crazy and
beautiful friends that I have met here at Iowa State.
3.) Sisterhood
Last fall I chose to join Sigma Alpha, a business
professional sorority that has a strong focus on women pursuing degrees in
agriculture. This sorority has helped me develop my professional, communication
and leadership skills and has created so many friendships!
4.) Australia Adventure
Never in a million years did I think that I would have the
opportunity to study abroad in Australia my freshmen year! Over spring break I
was one of the 22 students selected to travel to Australia with the Agronomy
and Agricultural Business departments for 12 days.
We spent our time in Australia comparing and contrasting agricultural systems and technologies to the ones in the United States.
This experience was truly unforgettable, and also developed
my interest in studying International Agriculture Relations at Iowa State
University.
Throughout my first year at Iowa State I have been truly blessed
and thank God everyday for leading me to each and every one of them.
When a person’s steps follow the Lord, God is pleased with his ways. If he stumbles, he will not fall, because the Lord holds his hand.
