College Take 2

When I was a senior in high school, I wasn’t quite sure if I made the right decision when I accepted my acceptance to the Purdue Agronomy Department. I thought what if college isn’t for me, what if another university out of state would be better, and how am I going to survive at a school as big as Purdue. 

Looking back, I can not believe I thought these thoughts. As a freshman on Purdue’s campus, I found my new home. I got involved in the agronomy department early on and I found friends that will last a lifetime, professors that care about you success, and peers that are willing to learn with you. 

I have never been so excited to come back to school in my life. This summer I was counting down the days until I moved back to West Lafayette this August. After a long, hot summer full of hard work, I was ready to take on my sophomore year at Purdue University.

My name is Jessica Peterson. I was born and raised on my family’s corn and soybean farm in South Bend, Indiana. I am currently double majoring in Agronomy (Crop and Soil Management) and Farm Management. I am involved in several organizations on campus like Agronomy Club, crops judging, Collegiate Farm Bureau, and Cru.

If you are a prospective student to Purdue University, I know making the decision on what college you want to attend for 4 years isn’t easy. However, I hope you make the right decision for you and find a place where you feel best fit like I did.
