Published?!?!

As a high school student, and a writer I have been published in local papers and at my school, but never to my memory have I been published in a well-known magazine! Recently my roommate made it known to me that my picture was in the Green is Beautiful magazine! I didn’t believe him, and it was not until he promised to bring the magazine home with him next week that it was a reality.

Marie Thorne from Syngenta came to speak to Turf Club, a group of Turfgrass students that get together to learn about topics pertaining to our industry about a month ago. While she was there, she took a picture of us, and apparently that is how we ended up in this magazine! I have yet to read the article, but I can’t wait to see what we are doing in there. Never the less I thought it was awesome that she put our picture in the magazine, that it got printed, and now our faces are out there for people to see. This goes to show that we really are serious about what we are doing. We put in the extra time and effort, outside of our classes and home work and jobs and whatever else there is to do to learn.

I am honoured that I was able to be at that presentation, and I know that I took so much away from what she had to say. And now, I also need to thank her for getting my picture out there! Faces are easier to recognize than faces, and I can now say, I’m one of the only girls that was at Turf Club at the University of Guelph.
