| 2007-2008 NM Mayflower Society Scholarship Winner A'Lora Norris of Hagerman, NM |
Field of Study and Future Aspirations
I have been employed with Norris and Sons as a
farm laborer and ranch hand. I have cut and raked
alfalfa, disked and packed ground, and have
worked as a grounds keeper. As a ranch hand I
herd, halter break, and groom cattle. I am in
charge of feed operation and pen maintenance.
My duties also include raising and selling market
animals. By working on the farm and ranch, I have
gained a better understanding of raising crops
and livestock. I have learned how to efficiently
market livestock and have a greater knowledge of
money and time management.
My life's experience on the farm and ranch has
better prepared me for the future. By entering into
the field of Agricultural Biology, I will be able to
gain more knowledge about a healthier, more
efficient way to grow crops and feed my livestock.
I will be attending New Mexico State University
and majoring in Agricultural Biology. I hope to
pursue a career in Entomology and Animal
Sciences.
I come from a hard working agricultural family in
small town America. I appreciate opportunities
given to me and I am dedicated to achieving my
goals. I couple high academic standards with an
extremely strong work ethic and with high
outstanding character traits. I am self-motivated,
highly dependable, well organized, and career
oriented. I posses strong leadership, speaking,
and motivational skills in organizations such as
the FF A, 4-H, National Honor Society, track and
field, journalism, and radio broadcasting.
I enjoy working and educating others, and I am not
afraid of extra duties and hard work. I believe that
academics, hard work, leadership, sportsmanship,
and citizenship are the solid bases for a
successful individual. I am a high achiever in all
my endeavors. My success in college will
definitely make a positive impact on our society.
