Growing into life

Growing into life

I like to think that we’re always growing. Maybe we are old enough to be done growing physically, but not mentally and emotionally. Every single day is a chance to grow and to change for the better. Nothing shows me my own growth more than Facebook memories. My Facebook account began in 2008. I was 14 years old at the time, and to be honest, I had no business on social media. My account saw the days of all black clothing and heavy eyeliner, the breakups, the makeups, the oversharing... Facebook saw it all. As I grew, I forgot all about the things I had said and posted before. I moved on with my life and matured, and eventually, I couldn’t tell you if I had ever held hands with a certain boy or if I made the team I tried out for. Facebook remembers. Not only does Facebook remember, every single day it shows me the excruciatingly awkward former me.

In addition to planning and implementing agriculture programs for the county and answering questions for clients, my duties also cover the 4-H youth program. Duties include planning and implementing youth programs and advising and traveling with youth to contests and competitions. I also spend a small portion of time on professional development, keeping up with current trends, new technologies and hot agricultural topics.
