Actually saying I was active for 2 \u00bd years is an exaggeration. I was SO excited when I found out I had been selected to join the esteemed group at the end of my freshman year. The application process wasn\u2019t difficult, but it was time taken out of my busy college kid schedule to fill out the application and interview. By this I mean it cut out a little bit of my daily Netflix and napping ritual (wow those were the days). What I\u2019m getting at is the small amount of time I put into applying for the position was completely worth it, so whatever possible future ambassador that\u2019s reading right now should take a few minutes off of their Instagram stalking today and get your application turned in ASAP because Sarah appreciates timeliness.<\/p>\n
Back to my exaggerated time as an active member, my sophomore year didn\u2019t start off too hot, just like I\u2019m sure a lot of students don\u2019t. I did one? Yep one activity on campus as an ambassador, and attended maybe one meeting as well. But then spring semester rolled around, and I decided to give being an active member a real chance, and wow am I thankful I got my head on straight and stepped up to the plate. Between that point and the end of my undergraduate career last fall, I travelled to so many places and met so many new faces all because of opportunities being an Ag Ambassador presented me.<\/p>\n
I went to about every corner of the state of Wyoming, to Montana, Nebraska and the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. I pitched in with many different activities on campus, I served as the group\u2019s secretary, and I had the coolest job in the College of Ag thanks to my work and relationships in Ag Ambassadors. I recruited students to UW, I spoke to current students about their concerns in the college, and I made so many other connections and good friends along the way.<\/p>\n
I reflect on these experiences because I feel like I still could have done so much more, but I\u2019m always going to be grateful for what I did get to do in my favorite organization I was involved in at the University of Wyoming. Whether it\u2019s in Ag Ambassadors, or another group you\u2019re involved in on or off campus, it\u2019s never too late to become an involved member. Even if you\u2019ve skipped an entire semester worth of meetings, be that person that surprises everyone by becoming the most active and inspiring component of your group, and don\u2019t be afraid to apply in the first place!<\/p>\n
Oh, the places you\u2019ll go!<\/p>\n
