Lauren Vega, a junior at Elwood-John H. Glenn High School and participant in the veterinary science program at Wilson Tech, recently competed in the New York State Veterinary Science Career & Leadership Development Event in Buffalo. The competition, organized by the National Future Farmers of America (FFA), put Vega and her team to the test with critical thinking, knowledge assessment, and presentation of veterinary science concepts to a panel of judges.
During the event, Vega and her team engaged in various challenging activities designed to test their understanding and application of veterinary science knowledge. Their hard work paid off as they emerged victorious, earning first place and the title of New York State FFA champions in veterinary science.
Teacher Ricky Greening expressed his pride in Vega’s accomplishment, stating, “This is such an awesome achievement for an amazing young lady who has undergone a significant transformation from prior years.” Greening believes that Vega’s success is a testament to the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving one’s goals.
