Senior Year holds several
"last time" events, such as: my first last day of school on
campus, my last time as a student at UKAg Round Up, my last semester as a CAFE
Ambassador, my last semester to pull all- nighters with friends in the Ag North
Lobby studying, and my last time going to CSF to get pancakes at midnight to
take a break from studying for finals. Thinking about all of these things that
I will do for the last time this semester makes me a little emotional. It is so
hard to believe that my time here at UK as a student and ambassador in the
College of Agriculture, Food and the Environment is coming to a close in a few short months.
The thought
of senior year brings up all these "last time" events, but because of
a bold step that myself and 26 other girls took last year I also had a
"first time" experience this semester which I will always be grateful
for. The Beta Omicron chapter of Sigma Alpha Professional Sorority for Women in
Agriculture was activated March 23rd, 2013. I was blessed enough to be a
charter member with 26 other brave and wonderful girls.
Last week we
held our "first" rush to find the alpha class membership candidates
to help grow our organization. The numerous bonds that were created and
strengthened last week is a true testament to what this organization has done
for me in the few months that I have been a member. I'm blessed that I had an
amazing leader ask me to be a part of this group and I will continue to talk to
girls about the wonderful things personally and professionally that this
organization will do for women in agriculture.
My first and
last time events will continue throughout these next few months and they will
be nothing short of amazing, just like my career here in the College of
Agriculture, Food, and the Environment. I am thankful for all of the
"first" and "last time" events that this College and
University have been a part of because it has played a huge role in the forming
of the woman I have become.
I'm so proud of you Gabrielle! You have been a wonderful person to work with and I have enjoyed working as an ambassador with you! Thank you for your infectious smile and positive outlook that you always bring to events!
