Meet your National President
Hello there fellow DTA members! I am your
National President Ashley Cranney. I am a senior
Ag Ed student at Sam Houston State University.
Eatem up KATS! I have been honored by serving
this distinguished organization for the past
year. And since I have known that I am to write
a biography of myself I have dreaded it. For
those how know me can vouch that I love to talk
and to have a good time! So just what would I
tell you about this girl from a small town
outside of Houston, Texas I am the oldest of
four children and I will be a first generation
college graduate. Even though I have always sort
of lived in the city (suburbs), my family has
always been involved in Agriculture. My
grandparents have a nursery and have a small
landscaping business and my parents both showed
livestock through FFA. Growing up in Splendora,
Texas was boring!!! I had to find something to
do! So I either spent my time helping my
grandparents by watering plants or riding my
pretty pink bicycle around our neighborhood.
When I was old enough to show I started showing
pigs. I showed under Jr. FFA and FFA until I
graduated.
So many of my lives lessons I learned from an
experience in FFA interacting with agriculture.
As I entered college I knew that I was put on
this earth to enrich the children of tomorrow
with the knowledge about the most important
subject, agriculture. I have been completing my
Student Teaching assignment this Spring semester
and I have learned more in a short time than I
expected. And I cant wait till GRADUATION on May
14, 2005! DTA has been the only organization that
I have actively participated in while at SHSU. I
have learned many things from the people that I
have met because of this organization. I am also
truly grateful for the guidance of my advisor Dr.
Dwayne Pavelock, I hope that some day I will be
able to Pay it forward. Thanks for
everything, everyone! Carpe Diem! Ashley Cranney
