Another BLOCK Trip

Hello all!

This week the BLOCK took us to Central State University. One of the oldest HBCU's (Historically Black College or University) in the country. I had never been to a school like this before. The students we were engaged with were striving to become the same thing we are; teachers. It was great to be able to interact with them and exchange ideas about how to make changes in order to incorporate agriculture into their plans and also to get the agricultural schools some experience in an urban school. It was an extremely beneficial trip for me and it seemed to be the same for everyone there.

After we left Central State, we went to host a District Officer Training in St. Mary's, Ohio. it went smooth as usual. On the way back we all started playing Mafia. A mystery card game. As we kept playing we all laughed and screamed. The game was not only a great time killer, but it also made me realize how close we had all come to each other in such a short period of time. This time last year I was a history major and had no idea who any of these people were, and there I was laughing harder than I had in a long time with all of them. I am very grateful to be a part of the BLOCK and the AG Ed program here at Ohio State.

Hope everyone made it through the monsoon last night.
