Every since I was a little girl my parents always told me to take advantage of every opportunity. When I came to Purdue I decided to join the soil judging team. It was hard at first (well it still is), but I wanted to get involved with something that would take me all over the US. Competing in a collegiate contest means that you are competing against other universities which means that you have to travel to different universities\/states sometimes. I enjoyed learning about the soil in different states and spending a week in a different place to prepare for the contest. I have been to Wisconsin, Illinois, and Ohio while judging soil at Purdue. I would have been to other contests but several of them were canceled due to COVID-19. I am grateful for taking the opportunity and stepping outside of my comfort zone to learn about new things. I encourage everyone to take the step and experience something while you are young.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
