Agriculture education teachers/FFA advisors make a world of difference for the students they teach.  This spring students put into words, as part of an FFA Advisor Tribute Scholarship application, how their ag teachers/FFA advisors have impacted their lives.  Ten outstanding examples of amazing teachers impacting their students have been chosen and submitting students will each receive scholarships to attend a SD FFA Leadership Retreat this summer.

Among the winners of a scholarship to attend a summer retreat is Sydnie Peters of Winner.

The ten students wrote essays about how their FFA advisors have made an impact on their lives. •

Sydnie Peters, Winner FFA senior expresses her gratitude, “Mr. Wyatt DeJong has influenced my life greatly by always being there, opening doors to new experiences, and encouraging me to do and be the best I can be.  He is always there if I need help or advice.  We attended numerous events throughout the year that were all new to me and gave me wonderful lessons and memories … with him as my advisor I have realized just how much I love the agricultural field and want to make a career of it.”

Scholarships are made possible through the SD FFA Foundation by West River Electric Association, Sioux Valley Energy, and the Walt Johnson Memorial Fund; in memory of two past FFA advisors: Leonard DeBoer and Walt Johnson.

She loves her home state of South Dakota, particularly West River and the Black Hills at that.

That makes it extra gratifying to her that she can work in her hometown, says Brooke Schroeder, a college student who is with the 4-H office here in the Tripp County courthouse, Winner, through the summer.

She’s the daughter of former long-time Tripp County sheriff Chip Schroeder. Her mother is Lisa Schroeder.

Dealing with children as opposed to young adult college students is an interesting change for her, Schroeder said.

Exercising patience is something that’s required. “Being a little more observant” is also needed, she added.
