 Well, good evening, everyone. There's only two more left, so we're all sadly almost over. I just want to say thank you. I'm so delighted to be here tonight in the presence of such amazing people. I'm a second-year marketing student and plan to graduate next fall in December 2012. I grew up on my family's organic dairy farm in a little town called Cachedon way back by the Mississippi River with four brothers and sisters and always dreamed on going going on to college after graduation. But as a senior you go through the trials of where do I want to go and what do I want to do and that was completely where I was at. But after I graduated I was fortunate to be elected to serve on the state of Wisconsin FFA officer team as a state FFA vice president. This was an amazing experience, but after my term I was ready to start college and I am more than happy with my decision on attending Western. I chose to attend Western for three main reasons. My first reason was because of location. Being close to home was very important to me because I wanted to keep my current job I was working at and also see my family frequently. Western has let me achieve both of these goals very successfully. My second reason was because of financial. Western along with many technical colleges provide a quality education for a reasonable and manageable price. I was going to be able to complete my degree achieving getting the same quality education I would have anywhere else. The third reason I chose Western was it because it originally offered the program I went into which was radiography. Even though I have now switched my degree into marketing I am still really happy with my choice. Attending Western has given me many opportunities from traveling with our Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society to helping new freshmen make the transition into college a little bit easier. Attending Western has given me the opportunity to meet amazing instructors and classmates in a really family like at home atmosphere. It has allowed me to go into the person that I am today giving me the tools I need to reach my goals and the competitive edge to be successful in the workforce. I want to say thank you to the Robert W. Baird and company for sponsoring this event and for your gift and to all of those at the college and my family for supporting me. I have forever great move for my technical education and for this opportunity. Thank you.
