“Agriculture has built the foundation of who I am today, and reflects an industry that
I hope to impact in the future. By far the biggest problem impacting my own family
has been California’s drought. I believe farming is not as simple as just growing food;
we need to find methods that provide sustainability and safety for our communities
in order to prevent problems like this in the future.”

“I have always been interested in helping my community. Becoming a pediatrician
will allow me to pursue this dream. I want to be able to open my clinic and aid
the community who cannot afford health care. I also want to travel to countries
in poverty and work with children who are in need with medical assistance. This
will benefit society because I am able to lend a hand to families who cannot afford
health care.”

“I plan on being part of a company that has a role in bettering society and the
environment. I have great interest in ways for discovering new cleaner energy
sources that are more efficient than the energy options we have now. Also, I want
to be able to give back to the community I was brought up in.”

“Agriculture is a very important part of everybody’s life. One of the major
concerns that I see within our community, especially where I live, is the drought.
Our state needs to work together to ensure that all areas of our land have the
water needed. I am very grateful for the rain we have been receiving lately and I
can only pray it continues.”
