While I was at Memphis for the 2012 Women in Agriculture Educators National Conference, I got inspired to pursue my career further. I learned from great farmers, educators and many more people about great resources for farmers. Many of them asked me if I have my own farm and I told them "I will in a couple of years!" I felt young a little bit intimidated in an experienced crowd, but at the same time I was very excited and expressed my ideas, feelings and experiences.
After the first day of the conference, I was very excited and my mind was flowing with many great ideas. One of them is to have my own farm. My dream is to have a farm and have a restaurant in the farm. The reason for the restaurant is not only to sell and serve food, but also use it as a teaching tool. Teach people about growing food, agricultural practices and using those crops to cook! I want to educate others about food and how fun it is to grow food, know the parts of the plant that can be used for different recipes and make them into delicious foods!
What I find interesting that there might be someone or some organization out there in the world with the same ideas and thoughts as mine, but what makes it different is that it comes from me. I am very unique and have the heart for this. It might sound, redundant, selfish or that I am praising myself too much but it is the opposite. I know my capability, experiences, goals and drive to get things done. I know that in a couple of years, this will be happening!!
