Kidwai, Sabrina
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J1), v86 n5 p32-34 May 2011
Growing up in Philadelphia, Jenna Moser always wanted to be like her dad, who was a member of FFA and grew up on a farm in western Pennsylvania. She took a big step in emulating her father when she enrolled at the W. B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences, and became a member of FFA herself, going on to serve as president during her senior year. She also participated in 4H, the FFA Chorus, and running programs. This article describes how a trip to India to study agricultural process in local villages helped Moser widen the scope of her knowledge and chart a future that includes changing the way a career in agriculture is perceived by young people oversees.
