Gearing up for My Big Adventure!!!

Hello!! Much like the rest of my classmates, I am counting down the days until we leave for our adventure to Seoul, South Korea!! This is something I never imagined myself doing.  The thought of studying abroad even for a short period of time never crossed my mind as something that I would do.  However, when this opportunity presented itself, I soon realized that this was an experience I could not pass up!  Not only am I going to experience another culture,  I am also going to see first hand South Korea's way of teaching Agriculture in their schools, something that I will be able to apply directly to my future carreer goals! 

Before we embark on this amazing adventure, I want to tell you all a little bit about myself!  I just finished my sophomore year as a Penn State student!  I am majoring in Agriculture and Extension Education, and minoring in Animal Science.  I have lived on a farm all of my life, and have been showing dairy cows since I was old enough to do so.  I quickly developed a love and passion for my animals and agriculture as a whole.  It is my dream to make the public more aware of agriculture and its presense in everyday life.  I am currently working towards my dream while working as the summer 4-H assistant at the Franklin County Extension Office.  It is my hope that my passion will shine through to the kids I will be in contact with this summer, and in my future carreer. 

In just a few days I will be packing up and leaving the comforts of my home here in Pennsylvania.  I know that this experience is going to change my life in some way, and I hope that by following along with us you, too, will learn a new thing or two!

Until next time!
