Christin Morris
Southwestern- High Individual
Texas A&M University-Commerce
My name is Christine Morris and I’m from Stephens City, Virginia. I am currently a sophomore Agriculture Education major at Texas A&M University Commerce, where I am a member of the meat judging team. My participation in meat judging has opened so many doors for me to make friends, professional connections, and to travel places I’ve never been. I also discovered something new that I love doing that was different than what I ever did in high school. With the help of the Gary C. Smith scholarship, I will be able to put funds towards completing my education, begin my career in agriculture, and start reaching my goals.
