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
What did you learn from the project that you did not already know? From this project, I leaned a variety of different things
I strive to be a leader in and out of the classroom. In general, I try to encourage others and provide my help when needed, every day at school. Whether it is helping a friend out in math at lunch or being a leader by example through doing my homework or volunteering in class, I try to lead each day. As well as in the classroom, I strive to be a leader when I play sports. As a three sport varsity athlete, I spend lots of my time on the court and on the field working to better my game and myself.
I also spent a lot of time at my grandparent’s farm in Dubuque, Iowa. I was also involved in 4-h which I consider as one of the most memorable things I have done in my life because of meeting new people and showing livestock as a hobby. Not only does personal experience impact me, but also the fact that agriculture is so important today with feeding people and preventing world hunger. One of the most important things that I have gained from agriculture is my work ethic. You truly do gain a well-respected work ethic when you are involved in farming growing up.
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.

Furthermore, the MBA program would promote my knowledge of specific business topics including human resources, finance, and management; given that the program incorporates intense business studies.
Learning to adapt in a new experience can be very scary. When I was in Nepal I never have to worry about any family matters, because I was little and I didn’t know anything about being a responsible member of the family. All the family matters are handled by my Dad and my older brother. I never get to choose what I wanted, I always have to follow what my brother and dad told me to do. And I used to get angry with them because I never get to make my own decision.
I got my first sketchbook in my seventh grade art class. That was the one class that I always enjoyed when I was in school. In my sketchbook, I had a lot of drawings to do like an apple, a pumpkin, a penguin and many other drawings. After I have done all of these drawing I realized that this was what I really enjoyed doing No matter what we were asked to draw, I enjoyed The fact that I was able to challenge myself to draw and it showed me a lot about shading and being very detailed-oriented. This helped me in realizing what I really loved about art: I am able expresses myself by not really saying any words and how I wanted to continue doing it in high school, and maybe minor in college.
Being a researcher in theoretical physics for quantum computing is a job that has called out to me all of my life. The current research being done in quantum computing needs to find a useful implementation. This job appeals to me because I thoroughly enjoy learning about new things and being caught up with all the current technology. Growing up I could see the technology of today grow and shape. Relative to about thirty years ago technology has seemed to evolve at an exponential rate.
In ten years I aspire to accomplish many of the dreams that I have set for myself. One of those dreams ties in with why I want to go to PSU. I hope to learn the skills necessary to be successful as a software developer for a company. Being a software developer means that I will be working long hours, and dedicating a lot of time to work projects. However, I see myself enjoying my job, as well as continue to learn as I go.
This semester has been an eye-opening experience into the world of agriculture. It has been a fun learning adventure from working in a lab to wrestling sheep. I learned that agriculture is in many aspects of daily life, even in something as simple as grocery shopping. So much goes into the ground beef or the corn that you buy. Someone raised a calf to sale or planted the seed with their own hands.
Being created as a result of IVF and seeing the appreciation that my family have for the doctors who helped them along the way, has shown me the remarkable difference that doctors can make to a family’s life. This is what first inspired to study medicine; I got the chance to see how rewarding a career as a doctor would be. To get a better understanding of the variety of roles that doctors have, I undertook a week-long placement shadowing different respiratory consultants around a hospital. The experience showed me just some of the many responsibilities that doctors have, from doing the ward rounds to being in clinic.
As an International studies major, one of the first things we learn in our intro classes is about the up-and-coming superpower of China. We discuss the importance of China and its rising economy. The industry in China has boomed in the recent years, and they are now a country to truly focus on. Learning this knowledge moved my interest towards China. Throughout my education, I have come to understand that China has a drastically different culture from the United States.

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
