Introducing Mikayla Kraft - Our New School Reporter Mikayla Kraft, School Correspondent Hello Townsend! My name is Mikayla Kraft and I am a 16-year-old junior. I write the Broadwater Future Farmers of America (FFA) reports and work as a kennel technician at the Elkhorn Vet Clinic. I love being involved throughout my school and in my extracurricular activities. Community is really important to me and I enjoy being able to talk to people about what is going on. The Townsend Schooling System is a topic that many people discuss, and as a current student of Broadwater High School I feel that I can give the community an opportunity to see what happens in our school, and the efforts our administration and students make to our learning experience better.
FFA is a large part of my life that helps define who I am. I have been an FFA member since I was a high school freshman. I have held the offices of Sentinel 2021-22 and Reporter 2022-23. I have achieved my Greenhand and Chapter Degree and am currently involved in the Agricultural Sales Leadership Development Event (LDE), the Meat Evaluation, Vet Science, and Poultry Evaluation Career Development Event (CDE). I have just recently qualified for the state-level competition in Great Falls for Agricultural Sales, Meat Evaluation, and Vet Science. This last October I even went to Nationals to compete in Parliamentary Procedure. I believe that my role in agriculture holds a high responsibility and has helped me grow as a person to be the best that I can be.
Because FFA has helped me to grow as a leader and agriculturalist, I aim to become a large animal veterinarian. Even though I am only a junior, I have already started the scholarship and school application process. I aim to minor in Animal Science at Montana State University or the Central Christian College of Kansas; my goal is to major in and gain a DVM at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Wisconsin or Washington State University. I plan to come back to my hometown of Townsend, MT to provide large animal veterinary services to help in satisfying the need for large animal vets in our community and county.
I am a Christian and currently attend the Trailhead Christian Church. I occasionally sing on the worship team and regularly attend the teen bible study Sunday mornings at 9 and a young women’s discipleship study every other Saturday. I also have the opportunity to regularly attend a bible study every Tuesday morning before school. I take pride in my belief and love to be involved in the church.
This only defines who I am, but my goal throughout these articles is to give the community a better understanding of what goes on in our school system. I also hope I can give our students and administration more of a voice in the community to increase knowledge of the great opportunities that are provided to us.
