OFI 2020: Flowers Floating Towards Natural Curiosity | FFA SAE Edition | Ava Belanger | Norfolk County Agricultural High School FFA
Ava Belanger is just finishing up her sophomore year of high school, but is well ahead of the pace when it comes to her knowledge of horticulture. She and a partner are currently growing floating flowers in a kiddie pool at her school, and they have already rescued them from deterioration and death once only to see them come back flourish. This all began when Ava decided she wanted to be a neurologist at the end of her 8th Grade year. In Massachusetts some students can attend high schools dedicated to one main area of study. At Norfolk County that is agriculture. Ava saw this and thought that it might help her in the scientific pursuit that she had identified. So, she enrolled at Norfolk. However, she later determined that was not the direction she wanted to pursue and developed an interest in plants. Today, Ava is serving as a Junior Officer in the Secretary position. She hopes to advance to an upper level officer position next year and keep pursuing her interest in plants.
