These last few weeks at Cal Poly have, and will, consist of
banquets and get togethers with friends and club officer teams from this past
year. Just last night, the
Agricultural Education and Communication Department held their end of the year
banquet. This is a fun event
because it brings all our department together for an evening of awards and
fun. I really enjoy it because
it’s an opportunity to see a lot of my close friends from my department. I was of course excited to attend the
banquet, but was running late because I was babysitting beforehand. After getting home about 30 minutes
later than I had planned, I rushed to my room to get ready. As I was in the middle of touching up
my makeup and about to start curling my hair, I hear the door bell to my
apartment ring. I found this
really weird because hardly ever do people ring our doorbell, but being late as
I was, I didn’t really think much into it, just got up and ran to the door. I looked out the peep hole just to see
who it was before I opened it, and to my great surprise and shock, it was my
mom and sister! I threw open the
door, yelled what are you guys doing here, and then went into a minor panic
because I was running so late. So
I ran back into my bathroom to finish getting ready and they followed, and I
hadn’t even realized by good friend who has been going to school in Vermont for
the past year was with them too!
Needless to say, my mom had come down for the banquet and my sister and
friend decided to come along for the ride. Long story short, I finished getting ready, my mom and I went
to the banquet, and my sister and friend went our to dinner and to the beach.

At the banquet, I was honored to receive several awards. In addition to receiving recognition for being an officer in two of our department clubs and being on the Dean’s List, I also received the President’s Award for Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow, an award given by the club president to an officer who helped out a lot throughout the year. I also was honored to receive the Outstanding Scholarship Award, recognizing the graduating senior from our department with the highest GPA. With a 3.936 GPA, I was excited and honored to receive such an award, recognizing my hard work. All in all, the banquet was a great success, with my mom right there with me!
