The Beginning of the End


Well tonight marked the beginning of the end.  The College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences held their End of the Year banquet, at which individuals and clubs were honored for their hard work and dedication to the college during the 2011-2012 school year.  As my time at Cal Poly comes to a conclusion in about a month, I seem to be experiencing a number of mixed emotions: being excited, nervous, and anxious all at once.  At tonight’s banquet, many students’ achievements were recognized through both individual and club awards.  It is wonderful to know that as I graduate and enter a career in agriculture, I will be surrounded by my peers who I know will go on and be successful participants in this industry we all love and have a passion for.  A lot of my friends were recognized for their hard work tonight, and I was so honored to stand among them as a finalist for the Beck Outstanding Senior Award.  I was also excited to have been a part of the ACT and CFFA officer teams, which were recognized as the Small Club of the Year and Large Club of the Year, respectively.  This year has been one for the books, and I look forward to reaching the end and graduating this June!

And on a side note, State Finals went extremely well this past weekend!  It was a great experience and I was so honored to work with my good friend, Luke Gocke, as the Awards Ceremony Co-Chairs!
