Hearing the welcome sounds from my animals is the perfect idea of home. Anyone who knows me would describe me as an all-around home- grown cowgirl. My name is Sierra, and I live in an area that is still considered rural. Our home consists of only an acre, but I can have up to five head of cattle, a lamb, two goats, two dogs, and a horse easily at the height of any show year. I have just entered my senior year of high school, and life has certainly been hectic and insane, but I am looking forward to graduation and moving on to college.
Out of the many hobbies I enjoy, some that I love the most are watercolor, pencil art, ceramic decorating, horseback riding, animals, and, most important, agriculture.
The agriculture part of my life consists of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), a national organization that begins for high school students and can quite literally never end. I could never imagine my life without this organization. Any chance I have to interact with animals or anything pertaining to nature is always worth my time. FFA gives me opportunities to meet new people, see new places, and learn new things.
Having a fast-paced life is never a worry for me; however, I always take time to slow down and take a breath. I recommend to anyone that you take the chance to smell the flowers and enjoy spending time outside with family. The world we live in is a beautiful, wondrous place, and every day should be acknowledged.
I have left my profile short and sweet so that you can get to the good stuff! I hope you will follow my blogs and enjoy the information I share with you during my Zoo InternQuest adventure. It’s looking to be a very interesting and exciting one!
