Leadership is an important component in the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent profession. A Student from the University contacted the Montgomery County Extension Office to inquire about shadowing the Agriculture Agent as her major is Agriculture Education. However, she would also like to shadow the 4-H Youth Development Agent and Family and Consumer Sciences Agent to get the full experience of Extension programming. 

The University of Kentucky Student shadowed the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent for the October Laugh and Learn Playdate Program. She helped with all of the preparing for the program, which consisted of planning, preparing a Plate It Up! Kentucky Proud Recipe, room set up, print and label material, etc. She complimented the program and inquired about all other programs that FCS had to offer. After completing her observing time, she the changed her major from Agriculture Education to Family and Consumer Sciences/Health Sciences Education in hopes of becoming a future Family and Consumer Sciences Agent.
