I like this class... Ag Girls

I had the opportunity to learn about & enjoy the environment.  I am an FFA member and chapter reporter.  I get to participate in state and national conventions held by the national FFA.  My teacher is very professional and keeps us working productively… I love my class!

I like this class...

I find sincere enjoyment in this class due to the wonderful opportunities to explore the agricultural realm with a specific focus upon animals.  The class often visits places like Michigan State University so that the students can see the various career pathways available for them.  As an individual too, I have been given the privilege of a leadership role in the planning of the class... this class is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
