Jesse Faber & Parker Bane – Pontiac FFA Advisors<\/p><\/div>\n

Don’t believe me, read what what their students have to say:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We got involved to learn a little bit about agriculture and leadership, and we did; but more importantly, we were taught to set goals with a defy the odds mindset, take advantage of opportunities to build relationships, and give of ourselves until we can\u2019t give anymore. – Jordan<\/p>\n

They helped find the career I am pursuing and then prepared me for it by encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself constantly with leadership roles, public speaking, event planning and so much more. – Rachel<\/p>\n

Encouraged me to pick a career that was the best fit for me and left me with skills such as leading a group, planning for large events, and how network\/interact with a variety of people to get the job done well and efficiently. – Abby<\/p>\n

Jesse and Parker taught me the importance of loving what you do, the value of staying true to your beliefs, and never forgetting where you came from. – Clay<\/p>\n

Bane and Faber taught all of us a lot of things that will help us throughout life. They taught us people skills, time management,I know this will be surprising to people who have asked them where something is but organization, and most importantly to me the willingness to do things for other people and help other people with smiles on our faces and truely being able to enjoy it. These are things that I will be able to use for my entire life and I am thankful I was able to learn them from such incredible people. – Grace<\/p>\n

It is because of their dedication to see a student become successful is why I want to become an agriculture educator myself. There are simply not enough caring people in the world today that have the willingness to mold young minds as Parker Bane and Jesse Faber do. – Mitch<\/p>\n

They have shown me through there own passion with there career, family, friends & students to go after my dreams and that no dream is every to big to accomplish if you are passionate about it. – Courtney<\/p>\n

Mr. Bane and Mr. Faber saw not only who I was, but more importantly, they saw the potential I had and together they worked with me and pushed me to achieve that potential and so much more. The most incredible part of all of it is that I was not even a student at PTHS and they still took the time out of their busy lives to invest in me and my future. These two men are prime examples of what agriculture educators do: invest in the lives of future leaders and agriculturists. – Sam<\/p>\n

Bane and Faber have helped me greatly become the successful young adult that I am today.  They pushed me to work my hardest in FFA, in work and whatever else I was doing.  Always had my back and supported me.  Still continue to help me even as I have move on into my college career and I am very great full for all the times they pushed me to better when they knew I could. – Zac<\/p>\n
