So here goes nothing...
The title. The title explains where I am at right now in my crazy life as an ag....uh former ag teacher. That is probably one of the hardest phrases I have ever had to mutter. This is what I was put on this Earth to do. Teaching others - impressionable minds - about agriculture is what I am good at. It is my thing! I miss my students past and present. I miss the teachers that made my job fun. And most of all, I miss the opportunity I had every single day to teach others about what I am passionate about!
Let's get one thing straight right off the start - this blog is not about ME and my sob story of why after 8 years of teaching, I chose to resign. This blog IS about my journey of educating others, young and old about the one and only industry that makes this world turn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year and 365 days a year - AGRICULTURE! And an added bonus is that I am a part of several social media pages (Ask the Farmers being the main one) that are for agriculturists educating other social media lovers about where their food & fiber comes from. For now, the most important thing is taking care of my family (husband of 7 years that works 50+ hours/week OFF the farm, 5 year old daughter and 1-1/2 year old son) and doing what is best for the four of us and our operation!
I enjoy social media and LOVE to tell my story, so if you wish to follow me on any of these avenues, I'd love to have you :)
