Comments from Advisor

NAME:  Dr. Amy Johnson

Zach,
Congratulations on this momentous achievement. I bet you didn’t think it would ever come, especially this last semester. But you should be proud of yourself for reaching this milestone…I certainly am. There were some ups and downs but you persevered. That shows something about your character.
I know for a fact that you won’t regret having this degree as it will only open doors for you. I hope you look back on your time in the AGI with fondness and that you learned a little something about agriculture. More importantly, I hope you learned about yourself and what you do and don’t want in your life. Remember what I always say, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Learning what doesn’t work for you is just as important as learning what does.
I hate that your last semester was interrupted by all this, but at least there weren’t zombies, right?? I wish you all the best with everything and if there’s anything I can ever help you, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
