"If you could become a character from any book you have read, who would it be and why?

If I could become a character from the books that I have read, Ronald Reagan would be my favorite character.  Reagan is my favorite president because everything that he stands for, I view them as effective; thus strive in order to achieve the same aspects. The former President Regan of America is a leader whose life was the spirit of the American dream. Therefore, I admire his character because he had unique leadership qualities, which I also desired in my life. Despite the challenges Regan faced in life, he never gave up to pursue his dream. For instance, when reading the book of Reagan’s Journey: Lessons from a remarkable career by Margot Morrell, one can notice varied ways behind Regan’ achievements. Morrell (45) introduces Regan as a great leader born with effective leadership skills, which enabled him to become successful in his lifetime. Regan was born a great leader because of his effective communication skills that I desire to possess. However, even though, Regan possessed great leadership skills, he persistently worked hard in order to achieve success.

I admire Regan’s leadership methods because he did not micromanage the followers but rather left them to do what was best for them. He was such a great leader because he listened to people and comprehended their contributions and acknowledged people’s efforts. Therefore, as a leader, one needs to focus on his or her strengths by taking adequate time to recognize one’s talents and the area of expertise in leadership roles. Finding something that one can enjoy doing in life and search for significant ways of becoming supportive in the working environment is significant. Carrying out self examination that can lead to refining of personal qualities and strengthening personal character can also contribute to a successful leader in the future.

Moreover, Regan is my role model because he had a great vision and he communicated about his vision effectively in order to gain followers. Regan had a vision of achieving the greatest dream for the American people, and he also communicated clearly about his vision of what should be done as a leader. Therefore, everything that I have done in my lifetime in places that I have worked, I have always developed a great vision, dedicated myself , worked as a team and developed great personality as leader. Regan’s leadership skills have enabled me to strive hard through emulating his leadership qualities, which will make me successful in the current working places such as National FFA Organization and others. 

"Describe yourself; who are you?"
    I am a fifth generation farmer, born and raised on a farm in Oklahoma State. I have learned varied things including work ethic, self reliant, responsible and other life lessons. I currently hold varied positions in varied organizations that have enabled me to achieve varied leadership skills. I am a student body president where I actively participate in varied school activities. I also work as FFA president, local Red Cross President and an ambassador for a program known as Rachael’s challenge, which aims to curb anti bullying behaviors in varied schools across the nation. Despite these organizations that have changed my life, FFA Organization has significantly improved my life. It has taught and encouraged me to be a dedicated, responsible and good leader. I volunteer frequently in community services and those people who I have worked with always describes me as a self reliant, friendly, leader and someone who stands up for what’s right.

My career objective is to attend the Oklahoma State University and major in Agribusiness and Agriculture communications. I will further my studies after my undergraduate degree and process with my studies at OSU in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I hope to obtain my American FFA Degree and graduate as the top student in the Agribusiness and Agriculture communications classes. My intention of studying hard is to be elected as the Oklahoma State Legislature in order to help Oklahoma producers and the entire population to achieve their demanding needs.  These objectives will not hinder my farming activities but help me to improve, triple my herd size and my goat clipping business activities. The lessons learnt throughout my life experience especially my college career and working experiences will mold me into a successful working member, in the Oklahoma Society. I have leant and achieved a lot of experience since the age of 17, when the Oklahoma agriculture organization gave me an opportunity to start my own farming activities. I have developed critical working skills such as work ethic and taken responsibilities, as well as, learnt on the need to regulate less tax on farm operations.

Moreover, I look forward to promoting a business, which holds the biggest effect on every citizen in the Oklahoma state. The Oklahoma state is a rich agricultural economy with more than 35 million acres of farm land. These have contributed to significant results in the economy, but the economy is widely impacted by factors that do not favor agricultural activities. Therefore, with my career part being an agriculture advocate, I will ensure that the Oklahoma state offer students the opportunities to be part of farm generation where promoting agricultural industry will be the major concerning area. I will also strive to ensure that the Oklahoma producers are in the forefront, and I hope to achieve my future dreams of upholding a position to lead successfully the Oklahoma Agriculture into the next generation.
