Allison Pare earns FFA scholarship
By BRAD DICKERSON
Glasgow Daily Times
GLASGOW —
Allison Pare continually honors her late grandfather, Larry, by working on the family farm he started for her and her brother.
“He created the farm for his grandkids,” the 18-year-old Monroe County High School senior said.
Pare keeps busy with the beef cattle operation by helping her dad feed the animals and also check on them when they’re calving.
She has expanded her knowledge about the agriculture industry through talks with her other grandfather, Garner Pare, who is also a farmer, and through her four-year involvement with Monroe County’s FFA chapter. Over that period of time, Pare has learned how to raise flowers and goats.
“My knowledge has kind of widened,” she said.
Pare’s involvement has also reaped financial rewards. She is the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the FFA Scholarship Program. She is one of 30 Kentucky students to receive more than $39,000 combined from the national organization.
Her mom, Dorothy Pare, is extremely proud of her daughter’s accomplishments, both on and off the farm.
“My daughter is a very dedicated child and student,” she said. “She’s very devoted to her family and she’s the type of child when she sets her mind to something, she doesn’t back down.”
After high school, Pare plans to attend Western Kentucky University. Right now, she is eying a major in biology and a minor in agricultural business.
Despite heading off to college, home and the family farm will continue to be a part of Pare’s life, something her late grandfather would be proud of.
“I could never leave it,” she said. “The farm’s been in my family ever since my grandpa was old enough to do anything.”
