“For as long as I can remember, my mom has encouraged me to reach for the sky. She has taught me that anything is possible when you work for it, especially in the livestock ring. It has motivated me to strive for greatness and work hard. I would not be the person I am today without my mom's encouragement. Reach for your dreams, challenge yourself to be the best, and you will succeed. ”
