Why did you become an Ag Teacher?
I initially graduated from college and worked in industry for a few years before deciding to go back to ISU to get my teaching license. I discovered when working with youth at my job that I really enjoyed teaching students within the context of agriculture. I also love all things FFA!

I've learned responsibility and respect as well as how to talk to new people as well as listen to them.

It puts you out in some real world situations you might not get to experience.REED AUSDEMORE
