Throughout my whole life I have always passionate about agriculture. I joined 4-H late in elementary school and was exposed to a side of a side of agriculture I was unfamiliar with at the time. Because of the positive role models in 4-H and FFA, I was introduced to raising and showing livestock. Through these projects I gained valuable life skills such as time-management, responsibility, and the value of a hard work ethic. While raising livestock is no easy feat, the process gave me the confidence to tackle any issue. It taught me to take strategic risks while still being mindful of the end goal. The struggles within these projects have taught me that the best feeling is not winning a prize, but rather succeeding after a battle is fought with strength, resolve, and purpose. These projects also taught me the importance of a community. I live in an agriculture …show more content…

I have been both humbled and inspired by the generosity of my local community. For without the help of the community, I would not be the success I am today. I have discovered the warmth and generosity of my neighbors; I also found the leadership skills I had within myself, and learned how to use them for the good of others. Mr. Mason Smoak was such a positive role model in the community. While he was successful in his business, he was always concerned about others. He was a selfless man that aimed to build up others. I strive to be like him as he has had an immense impact on my life and within the community. This scholarship is based upon on his legacy and character. By receiving this scholarship, it would enable me to continue my education at the University of Florida in the field of animal science with a track to veterinary medicine. Not only would it allow me to continue my education, but it would enable me to give back to my community through the agriculture community in the way that Mr. Mason Smoak

I perceive a godparent as a person in one’s life who is either chosen by the catechumen or by the parents of the catechumen. This person will, upon acceptance, have to fulfill the responsibility of being an active, practicing Catholic who ensures the fulfillment of the Baptismal vows, to assist their godchild in living a Christian life, and, if needed, to carry out the role of a parent when either the parents neglect to do their job or die. In order to become a sponsor, there are mandatory prerequisites to be accomplished which include age, participation, reception of the Sacraments of Initiation, and overall lifestyle. Sponsors shall be chosen if they fit the roles of a trustworthy witness who can help guide one to eternal salvation.

And I used to get angry with them because I never get to make my own decision.

An opportunity to expand my understanding of the world is an opportunity that I am quick to embrace, and cherish as potential for growth and exploration. I had never discovered such opportunities in the small town community where my sister and I grew up, and where my parents were born, raised, and wed. This small town sentiment had always provoked my curiosity in exploring the multifarious cultures and traditions of the world. However, leaving the close comforts of our all too familiar town was a rare endeavor for my family. Notwithstanding, I had always known there were bigger ideas, beliefs and educations to be sought, but they always appeared intangible. The first opportunity I had to experience diversity of more than the five thousand people
