Meet an Agriculture Education Student
Tiffany Clegg, a graduate from North Summit High School, states, "I was not a typical student in high school because I didn't fit into the typical high school activities. Agricultural Education and the FFA gave me a place to belong. As a freshman, my teacher encouraged me to set goals which helped me establish a direction for my life."
Tiffany's family owns Clegg Championship Rodeo, which provides rodeo livestock for many of the amateur rodeos in Utah. Tiffany has always been a part of the family business. Her duties include serving as secretary for each rodeo they contract and helping local communities with public relations efforts, as well as taking care of the livestock.
Many of the skills Tiffany learned in her agriculture classes are used right on the job. Her work has created numerous opportunities to be recognized on the national level. At the 2003 National FFA Convention she received her American FFA Degree, the highest honor the FFA can give one of its members.
Tiffany received a scholarship from the Summit County Farm Bureau, which will help with her plans to continue her education at Utah State University, where she will major in either agricultural education or agricultural communications. Her dream is to work as a commentator at televised rodeo events, carrying on the family tradition in a big way. Eventually, Tiffany would like to be a high school agriculture teacher and FFA advisor, giving back to a new group of kids some of the great benefit that she received from her participation in the CTE agricultural program.
