As I walk through the barns at college and finish my fall semester of my junior year, I realize this is truly what I want to do for the rest of my life. Hi, my name is Olivia Joyner, and I am a junior at Wilmington College, dual majoring in Education, as well as Agriculture with a concentration in Animal Science. This past summer, I was even the summer helper for my county's extension office where I helped run day camp, 4-H camp, and other youth events. Since 8th grade, I have known I wanted to become an agriculture educator. This realization came when I became more involved in 4-H, where I discovered two things: first, how much I love agriculture, and second, how much I enjoy talking about it and teaching others about my favorite subject. Since then, I have dreamed of hosting clinics, teaching classes, and, as my friends jokingly call me, even being called "Miss Joyner." When I attended my career center junior year of High School for veterinary assisting, the topics and curriculum resonated with me right away, especially since I already knew much of what we were covering. I would help tutor my friends, and my teacher even let me teach the class on some days and assist with lesson plans, knowing I wanted to educate rather than pursue veterinary work like the rest of the class. Watching my peers understand a medical term or grasp a process that I had taught and demonstrated only reinforced my desire to become an educator. When I first entered college, I was unsure of where I wanted to teach, and what job I truly wanted and could see myself doing in my future. After five semesters, I can say without a doubt, teaching agriscience in a High School environment is my dream. I have expanded on my knowledge of agriculture and education, and I can’t wait for the day where I am able to teach my students about the topics I love, and help them find their spark. Attending Wilmington College has been a great choice for me. Agriculture and education are two of their strongest programs, and the faculty takes excellent care of all their students. While at Wilmington, I am involved in the AG ED Society as the current vice president, CattleWomens as the historian, Collegiate Ohio Farm Bureau, FCNL, and more. I am so close to my student teaching and will be doing my final observations in the classroom next semester. When I graduate and become an educator, I know I will be passionate. And if you ask me, that’s the foundation for a successful teacher. If a teacher doesn’t care about what they’re teaching, why should the students? They might think, "If the teacher doesn’t care about what we’re learning, why should we?" However, when you are enthusiastic and engage with your students, they will respond in kind and become successful and engaged themselves. I will also focus on building relationships with my students and pushing them to strive for their best. Ultimately, I want to help students experience the "aha!" moment I had back in 8th grade when I realized my calling. I want my students to enjoy being in my classroom and know that they can succeed when they walk through my door. I know that if I can help even one student become successful and achieve their goals, I will have fulfilled my life’s calling.

My name is Olivia Joyner, and I am a second-generation college student studying Agricultural Education at Wilmington College. While my mother’s pursuit of higher education paved the way for me to dream bigger, my journey has still come with financial obstacles and the weight of continuing a legacy that was hard-won. Like Mark Green, I believe deeply in the power of education to uplift individuals, families, and entire communities. That belief—along with my passion for agriculture and youth development—drives my determination to serve and inspire others. Raised in a small town in rural Ohio, I was surrounded by values like hard work, resilience, and community from a young age. I showed livestock in the local 4-H, eventually raising my own lambs, and I became actively involved as a 4-H teen leader, camp counselor, and Junior Fairboard member. These roles taught me how to lead with empathy and serve with purpose. They also opened my eyes to the importance of mentorship and the transformative impact of youth programs—especially for kids from working-class or rural backgrounds like mine. While my family has always supported my goals, financial security has not come easily, especially with 3 kids all going to college at the same time. I’ve worked multiple jobs as well as my parents, applied for scholarships, and taken on responsibilities both at school and on the farm to make college possible. I know the weight of balancing passion with practicality, and the strength it takes to keep going when the path isn’t easy. But like Mr. Green, I believe adversity shapes purpose—and I’ve found mine in helping others grow. With my degree, I plan to become a high school agriculture teacher. I want to reach students—especially those from underserved or rural communities—and help them see the opportunities agriculture holds. Whether they plan to return to the family farm or pursue college, I want them to believe they are capable and valued. I hope to be the kind of educator who teaches life skills as much as academic content—someone who challenges students to lead, to ask questions, and to never underestimate their potential. In addition to teaching, I also plan to start a club lamb business, providing affordable animals to 4-H and FFA youth. My goal is to help kids who might not otherwise have access to these experiences, because I know how impactful they can be. Showing livestock shaped who I am—and I want to give others the same chance. Receiving the Mark Green Memorial Scholarship would ease my financial burden and help me continue my education with focus and purpose. More than that, it would allow me to honor a legacy built on service, strength, and belief in education. I am committed to carrying that legacy forward—empowering others the way education has empowered me.

Some kids grew up playing sports and going to the mall. I grew up showing livestock, giving speeches in a blue corduroy jacket, and learning how to lead others—and now I’m preparing to teach the next generation to do the same. It hasn’t been the easiest road to get where I am today. There have been a vast amount of challenges and tough moments along the way and plenty of people that have pushed me down and told me I can’t possibly succeed in a field my family isn't from. But I’ve also been blessed with amazing mentors and wonderful experiences that remind me why I’m on this path. They have helped keep planted a deep desire in me to give back to the people and places that helped shape who I am. One of my greatest inspirations has been my extension agent for 4-H, Teresa Johnson. She didn’t just plan events and tell us what needed to be done, she took the time to guide not only me, but the other members in our county, and ‘To Make The Best Better’. She also supported and empowered youth like me, making sure to help us reach our dreams no matter how high. One moment I can still vividly remember is back in 2021, when I was vice president of the Jr Fairboard with my best friend, Rose as president. It was both our first time in a leadership role and we weren’t sure what we should be doing. Teresa, who was sitting at the front of the meeting, helped us out, but made sure we were learning how to do it ourselves, not overstepping. By the end of the year me and my best friend were running meetings seamlessly, and Teresa probably didn't need to be there. Watching Teresa connect with families, lead programs, and encourage youth to grow both in and out of the show ring opened my eyes to how much impact one person can have. I want to help the future generation be successful, and having a mentor who showed me you can do it, led me down the same path she followed. Her work went far beyond any classroom and farther than just a couple kids. She is a total inspiration and I would give anything to be a fraction of what she is. I know what it feels like to walk into a room and not be sure of your place. It happens all the time, I didn’t grow up in agriculture and fitting in is a challenge with the kids who know the in’s and out’s. But, I also know what it feels like to have someone believe in you no matter what. That’s the kind of educator I want to be. I want to be the teacher who sees the buried potential in every kid, before they even see it in themselves. My time in 4-H, FFA, and showing livestock has taught me that confidence isn’t always something you're born with, it's something that’s built through your experiences, encouragement and people who care. When I’m a teacher I will meet youth where they are, no matter their past, and listen to their goals and help guide them toward their future, in both agriculture and outside of it. I want to be someone they can count on, just like Teresa was for me. My goal while teaching is to make sure every young person I work with knows they have a voice and a place in the world. There was a time I wasn’t sure I belonged in agriculture. But, someone believed in me and showed me I could do anything I put my mind to. As a teacher I will be that person for my students. I want to stand at the front of the classroom, in a barn aisle, or the waiting room at contests and remind my students they matter, and they can do it, and I’m always rooting for them, because I know first hand the difference a good role model can make.

As I walk through the barns at college and begin my observation placements, I realize this is truly what I want to do for the rest of my life. Hi, my name is Olivia Joyner, and I am a freshman at Wilmington College, dual majoring in Education, as well as Agriculture with a concentration in Animal Science. This summer, I will be interning at Legacy Farmers Co-op in Defiance, OH, as a grain and agronomy intern to further expand my knowledge of agriculture. Since 8th grade, I have known I wanted to become an agriculture educator. This realization came when I became more involved in 4-H, where I discovered two things: first, how much I love agriculture, and second, how much I enjoy talking about it and teaching others about my favorite subject. Since then, I have dreamed of hosting clinics, teaching classes, and, as my friends jokingly call me, even being called "Miss Joyner." When I attended my career center junior year for veterinary assisting, the topics and curriculum resonated with me right away, especially since I already knew much of what we were covering. I would help tutor my friends, and my teacher even let me teach the class on some days and assist with lesson plans, knowing I wanted to educate rather than pursue veterinary work like the rest of the class. Watching my peers understand a medical term or grasp a process that I had taught and demonstrated only reinforced my desire to become an educator. As I entered college, I began to feel uncertain about which branch of agriculture I want to teach. Right now, I am exploring two main paths: high school education, teaching shop classes and running FFA, or becoming an extension educator like the one who inspired me to pursue this career and teach others about 4-H and various aspects of agriculture. No matter which path I choose after graduation, I am confident I will be successful. Attending Wilmington College has been a great choice for me. Agriculture and education are two of their strongest programs, and the faculty takes excellent care of all their students. While at Wilmington, I am involved in the AG ED Society, the Education Society, Collegiate Ohio Farm Bureau, FCNL, and Veterinarians of Tomorrow as well as the Wilmington College Equine Team where I ride for the Hunt Seat team. I am have started my in-school observations, where I am learning all about FFA from Matt Griffith at East Clinton High School, and he is a great mentor. When I graduate and become an educator, I know I will be passionate. And if you ask me, that’s the foundation for a successful teacher. If a teacher doesn’t care about what they’re teaching, why should the students? They might think, "If the teacher doesn’t care about what we’re learning, why should we?" However, when you are enthusiastic and engage with your students, they will respond in kind and become successful and engaged themselves. I will also focus on building relationships with my students and pushing them to strive for their best. Ultimately, I want to help students experience the "aha!" moment I had back in 8th grade when I realized my calling. I want my students to enjoy being in my classroom and know that they can succeed when they walk through my door. I know that if I can help even one student become successful and achieve their goals, I will have fulfilled my life’s calling.

Agriculture has been the foundation of my life for as long as I can remember. From my earliest memories I have raised and shown livestock in 4-H and now I’m working at my college’s equine barn. In this time I have found an appreciation for the industry. My passion has now driven me to pursue an entrepreneurial path in agriculture, where my aim is to raise and sell high-quality club lambs while also mentoring the next generation of livestock exhibitors. I am currently pursuing a degree in both agriculture, with a concentration in animal science and education.I am studying to further my understanding of the agriculture industry and learn more skills necessary for success. My passion for raising lambs began when I was ten and I first started showing lambs through 4-H. By fifteen, I realized that I wanted to turn this passion into a business. Raising my own lambs, as well as the daily care and breeding matches, was such an exciting challenge. However, it has not been without obstacles. In 2020, the cancellation of my county fair due to COVID-19 was a devastating announcement. I had spent the entire year preparing for the fair. I considered stepping away from showing altogether, but the resilience of my community inspired me. Local parents got together with the fairboard and organized a socially distanced show and auction, which showed the importance of perseverance and adaptability to me. The following year, I faced yet another hurdle when my lambs went off feed, putting their health at risk. Through research and adjustments to their diet, I was able to nurse them to health, and grew my problem solving skills. My ultimate goal besides my career to teach Agriculture Education, is to establish a reputable club lamb operation. I plan to raise and sell lambs to 4-H and FFA members, as well as other youth and farms. My business will stand out by prioritizing mentorship and accessibility of knowledge for young exhibitors. I intend to offer discounted lambs to first-time showers and provide ongoing guidance throughout their project, ensuring that financial barriers do not limit learning opportunities. As someone who faced challenges in accessing quality mentorship as a young exhibitor, I want to remove these obstacles for others and create an environment where aspiring youth can thrive and get the most out of their experiences. Many businesses will fail due to a lack of industry experience, adaptability, or perseverance. However, my extensive hands-on experience with livestock, coupled with my background in farm work and leadership roles in agricultural organizations, equips me with the resilience and knowledge to succeed. I embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and always remain committed to continuous learning and improvement. My success is defined not just by possible financial achievements but by the impact I have on others. I want to leave a lasting impression on others, by giving others confidence, teaching responsibility, and nurturing a love for agriculture in our youth. If, in ten years, my business is a recognized name in my county and beyond, hosting annual sales and selling competitive lambs at a national level, producing champion-quality lambs and hosting workshops on showmanship and livestock care, I will consider that a milestone of success in my life. Ultimately, my life’s journey is about more than just raising and selling lambs; it is about building a legacy within my community. If I can inspire and equip the next generation of future agriculturists, while also running a business that reflects my passion and values, I will have achieved true success.

Sitting in a classroom teaching the future generation about agriculture and how they can support their community is how I want to spend the rest of my days. Not only is agriculture essential in schools to teach the youth about the importance of our food, but farmers also contribute to food security, economic growth, and community engagement. When the average person goes to the grocery store and looks at vegetables, fruits, and meats, most do not consider where that food came from, and often it’s not locally produced. Farmers and ranchers bring almost every base ingredient needed to the local town. There are now children who do not know where their food comes from, but agriculture educators can teach them and spark their interest in agriculture. While there are many branches of agriculture, I believe that animal sciences and crop science relate to local communities the most. To produce food security, farmers work tirelessly every day throughout the year. Crop farmers tend to their crops daily and ensure their equipment is maintained and ready for harvest. Ranchers feed, water, and care for their animals daily to ensure they are healthy and gaining weight. At the end of the animals or crops life cycle, these men and women harvest and sell these products for the community. This brings me to my next point, economic growth. Farmers produce food grown locally, often using local labor. When I worked on a farm, the beef we sold also supported me, allowing me to contribute to the community as a laborer. This happens on larger farms as well, where summer help is hired to bale hay, or fall help is needed to run wagons and harvest. Many others also take care of animals year-round. When farmers hire local help, they support their community’s economy while producing goods the community will buy. Farmers also support local businesses, such as grain companies, trucking and equipment companies, and feed suppliers. Farmers contribute to community engagement and agricultural education hand in hand. Most communities have a local farmers market where farmers sell their goods for the community to buy. When the community purchases these products, they not only support the economy but also ensure food security, while engaging with others and making new friendships. Another form of community engagement in agriculture comes from 4-H, FFA, and the events they host. When FFA chapters and 4-H clubs organize events, the community is often invited to attend and support them. This allows the public to engage with future farmers and gain a better understanding of agriculture's impact on their lives. I plan on having a future impact on agriculture in my community through the ways agriculture influences the community. I am studying to become an agriculture educator, teaching the community and future generations about agriculture while involving them in the events I host. I also plan to promote food security and economic growth by raising market lambs and selling them locally through my business. Additionally, I aim to advocate for agriculture in both my classroom and daily life, ensuring that the importance of agriculture is recognized. Without agriculture and farmers, life as we know it would be vastly different, as agriculture has played a central role in the development of human life. Agriculture is one of the most important industries on Earth, and we must continue defending it and educating others about it.

My mother is Crystal Joyner and she is the reason I am the person I am today. My mother has always had a profound impact on my life in a positive way by always being there for me and pushing me forward to pursue and achieve my goals and build a better future. As a child, we were not well off, but the one thing my mom could afford for me to do was 4-H. I started off as a clover bud, and we had a variety of projects we completed throughout the year. While we couldn't always get the best materials to make them, my mom never let me go empty-handed. She would always help me make the best we could with what we had. This is part of the reason why I always strive to do my best with whatever resources I'm given. During my middle school years, like many preteens, I often resented my mom and dad's advice because I thought I knew better. Instead of my mom reacting negatively to this, she told me she would support what I chose to do as long as I wasn't harming myself or others. This approach is one of the reasons why I never got into any real trouble as a teenager. Since I always felt supported, there was never any reason to hide things or sneak around. She also instilled in me the confidence to pursue anything I chose with a sense of her security behind me. Going into my high school years, my mom became my safe place. Whether it was drama at school, boy problems, or 4-H challenges with my animals, I turned to her for her guidance. And while she couldn't always 'fix' them, she gave me the best solutions she could and empowered me to become a problem solver and always help others when they were in need. I vividly remember when one of my close friends passed away in September of 2020, the start of my freshman year in high school. I got the phone call from my friend's mom that she was missing, and I went to my mom crying and begging her to drive to their house so I could be there for them. On the way there, we got word from her mom that she had been found but wasn't in good condition and had to be life-flighted to the nearest hospital. Losing a best friend so unexpectedly and tragically was a major turning point in my life. My mom helped me through it, comforting not only me but also my friend’s entire family. In the months that followed, she made sure to check on me regularly to ensure I was mentally okay. I believe that experience is part of the reason why I’m such a good friend now, and why I'm always making sure my friends are in a good mental space. All in all, my mother is one of the best people to happen to me. She supports every endeavor I undertake and is always in my corner, protecting me and making sure that I'm growing up to be the best person I can be. She has single-handedly made sure that I have a solid future ahead of me and that she has prepared me for the world, and for her, I am forever grateful.

As a future Agricultural Educator, I plan to inspire the youth in my career by teaching them a deep understanding of the connection between us as people and agriculture, sciences, and sustainability, and why these key ideas must be promoted in the modern life. I plan to engage students through practical experiences, encourage innovation in my classroom, and instill in my students a sense of responsibility towards the environment and food production. Practical experiences are crucial to starting a passion, especially in agriculture. By establishing experiences such as a school garden, a FFA chapter and other agricultural projects, students can experience the life cycles of crops from planting to harvest, how to complete projects on time for CDE events in FFA and even animal science aspects. Engagement creates a connection between the knowledge a student believes they have and the practical application, makes the topic more exciting and compelling for young minds. Bringing technology into an agricultural education classroom is another source of inspiration for youth. Demonstrating how modern innovations have helped humanity come so far from what we had even 40 years ago is very amazing and is sure to help young students be inspired to continue the search for even better innovations and inventions, to help sustainability. Incorporating mentorship from the local community and exposure to the agricultural industry is another very effective strategy. By organizing interactions with industry professionals, students are able to learn about the multitude of career paths available to them. Seeing how these success stories come from leading professionals in the field, and their impact on their communities, can help inspire students to imagine what their own role in shaping the future of agriculture can be. In the ways mentioned above, I can help develop a generation in the youth that goes through my classroom. A generation that is passionate about agriculture, and has the knowledge and excitement to take on the challenges of the future and present.

This new chapter in my life would be titled "From Graduation to Orientation". This period in my life encapsulates a very transformative period that is surrounded with the closure of high school, graduation, to the beginning of my college years, which is orientation. Graduating from high school serves and symbolizes the end of an academic journey but it also serves as the start of a new chapter and a new academic journey, college life. Graduation, with its caps and gowns, smiles and tassels, and plenty of parties and foods for a month or two, represents the years of dedication and hard work that all high school seniors put in to earn their diploma. Graduation is a celebration of achievements, the lessons learned, both hard and easy, and the friendships that were forged. You will bid farewell to familiar faces of your hometown and the comfort of the academic environment you have grown up in. So my chapter title tries to put the emphasis on the gravity of this very moment, the moment when you are handed that piece of paper. The pride and sentiment associated with crossing the threshold into adulthood and college life. On the other hand, Orientation has the ring of a new uncharted adventure. It signifies the initiation into the dynamic and vibrant world of college, with its new classmates, clubs, classes, dorms, and a new town. This phase of my life is surrounded by excitement, anticipation and a blend of enthusiasm and nerves of what is to come. This part of my chapter title is to encapsulate the start of a new journey. The journey from graduation and your highschool years to orientation and the future adulthood years and college years, is not merely a chronological event but is filled profoundly with personal growth. It is during this period, this summer, that I navigate the dual landscapes of reflecting on my past life and anticipation for what is to come. My past experiences will be what I build my foundation on for a collegiate environment. My title, simply put, encapsulates the bridge between the familiar and the unknown. It represents the crossroads where I bid farewell to the past while eagerly embracing the vast possibilities of the future. This chapter of my life serves as a transformative period in my life. One I wont forget.

My name is Olivia Joyner. A 11 year member of my 4-H club and a 2 year member of my career schools FFA chapter, where I study Veterinary Assisting. From a young age I had always wanted to be a veterinarian, specifically an equine vet, working with the animal that always drew me in with how majestic and beautiful they were. As I grew I soon realized that I couldn’t bear to see animals in pain, which I learned in the 6 years I raised my own herd of sheep for 4-H where I had my share of loss and heartache. It was hard to watch animals in pain and I decided that I couldn’t be a vet. I was inspired by my extension agent for 4-H and it dawned on me that I could teach what I love so much and that I can still do what I love and help future generations. That is how I decided to become an agricultural educator, with my specialty being in animal science. My favorite animal has got to be sheep. This is because I always raised them for 4-H, and they are so loving and docile. I have always been a fan of them and it’s my goal to have my own livestock operation and raise sheep. On the other hand, my interactions with animals have influenced my choice to work with them and have a career with them in the best way. Like I mentioned I wanted to be a vet, and this is due to my love of all animals, and wanting to help them when they were sick, and make them feel better. When I started raising my own animals I was soon to learn that procedures and hurt animals made me sick to my stomach. For example one time my ewe had prolapsed and we had to do a c-section to get the babies out. As soon as my vet cut the first layer of skin I couldn’t watch afraid that it was hurting her. But as soon as I was handed the babies, I got to work on making them live and raised them for the rest of their lives and I ended up taking one to fair even. When somebody has a question for me about animals, I waste no time and tell them all about it, and make sure that I educate them correctly. I love learning from my animals then teaching others. Every day I spend with my sheep, my horse, and my cattle just makes me want to do it every day for the rest of my life even more. Now I might not want to be a vet, but I do want to teach future veterinarians and save animals lives in the field, and that makes it all worth it.

Most people don’t think of being an American. They will think of being their last name, or being a teenager, or being a “football kid”. Most don’t think of what brings us all together until the nation is in danger. The pride for our country brings us together. What makes me proud to be an American is my love for the land. I am from a small rural town that has no FFA chapter or any Agriculture classes but we had a local 4H club. As soon as I was able to join I did. I learned all about the values of a 4H member, and to take care of the land, and our nation and to serve the people, not just yourself. 12 years later and I’m a senior in High School looking forward to going to college. I had to learn all about Agriculture myself. Nobody taught me. I researched on my animals, what they needed to eat, the requirements for keeping them. I learned what they should look like and act like. I didn’t have a teacher to teach me this. So now I want to be the teacher I didn’t have in school. I want to pursue Agricultural Education and help others learn about what makes me so happy, the land, the livestock, and the lifestyle. The change I want to see in our country is a change of academics. The modern education systems sets most kids up for failure. Most kids don’t need to know how to code for a computer when their true passion is welding. The change I want to see is a change for the better. One to where kids can get more into what they truly want to do. This would include more career school options, agriculture and shop classes, FFA in most if not all high schools, and more trade based learning for those who would like to pursue that career path. A kid should not be left in the dark in what they want to pursue. They should have a knowledgeable adult within arms reach to teach them and inspire them to make the best better. I will effect this change by becoming an educator myself, and making sure that I inspire my students to never give up and pursue their dreams, while also guiding them the whole way through. If they don’t know, we can learn together. I want to give kids the chance I never got as a kid. To have an adult there to guide you through the process and teach you. Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
