Growing up with a single mother who is a farmer inspired me to study agriculture and improve yields for families like mine.
Growing up with a single mother who is a farmer inspired me to study agriculture and improve yields for families like mine.
BACKGROUND
I was raised by my single mother, a hardworking farmer who dedicated herself to ensuring we had everything we needed.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I chose to study agriculture so I can gain the skills and knowledge to help people in my village improve their crop yields. I also hope to develop fertilizers to further enhance production in our gardens. Ultimately, I want to use my agricultural knowledge to support my younger siblings' education, as it's our family's primary source of income. I wish to be an Agricultural Researcher and work in research institutions focusing on sustainable agriculture,crop improvement,and soil science.
I wish to do further studies,pursue a master's degree in areas like agricultural economics, environmental management and sustainable development.
INTERESTS
I likes to read written literature especially novels in my free time. I also like listening to music, and singing gospel music when am free. I also enjoy sports especially jogging in mornings and evenings when am not at campus.
