Kayla Robinson had her heart set on working for AgTexas since she was in junior high.

The Stephenville, Texas, native had a family friend whose dad worked for the farm credit service and suggested she should work there one day. Having grown up with a heart for agriculture, Kayla never strayed from the idea of someday working for AgTexas Farm Credit Services.

I grew through this experience. I grew in how I approach communicating the efforts of agriculture to others. I grew in my own confidence and trusting my instinct. I grew in my faith and dependence on Christ when I feel somewhat alone or afraid. It was revealed to me who I am and what I am passionate about, and I owe it all to you, Australia.

But as she climbed into the 8-foot tall Tex P. Nut mascot uniform, she started to wonder what she had gotten herself into.
