My name is Justin Nunes and I'm a
student ag ed teacher and I'm a
scholarship recipient.
We always had gardens growing up and
I've always had tons of pets like my
10th birthday my parents turned our
greenhouse into an aviary and I raised
birds and our elementary school actually
took field trips to our backyard so that's
what got me interested in ag.
Agriculture is my passion and once I got
to Davis the opportunity for me to teach
my passion it's perfect for me. In ag you get everything there is in a traditional class
but you're getting time management
skills, public speaking, companionship and
so much leadership opportunities they're all incorporated
I enjoy student teaching, it's one of the
best opportunities I've had in my life
so far ranging from meeting new students
to working with my master teachers
it's an awesome experience and my greatest like aha moment was seeing a student that was
struggling with a concept and then he
kept on pushing pushing pushing until
like the light bulb switched and he knew
what to do and what made it even better
was he was going around to other people
that were struggling and helping them
and just like the chain reaction is
going from me to the student to another
student it's the small picture of like
what the potential I have as a educator
