>> WELL, THE YOUNGER YOU ARE THE LESS YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT HOW YEARS CAN REALLY PILE UP WITHOUT YOU EVEN NOTICING JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT. THEY LOOK OVER, OFFERS US A PICTURE OF WHAT 48 YEARS OF TEACHING LOOKS LIKE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A VERY SUCCESSFUL AG TEACHER AT CAST OF HIGH SCHOOL. >> IS GETTING LATE FOR THE 24 SCHOOL YEAR. AND AMBER, OKLAHOMA DOES LITTLE LONGER WINTER WHEAT HEADING OUT. IF THEY'RE DOWN THERE. AND AG TEACHER BILLY SCOTT RIDING HERD ON A REGIONAL SPEECH CONTEST LAST FOR HIM, THOUGH HE'S STILL NOT COUNTING. I DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BEING MY THAT. AND THE STUDENTS BEEN THE SAME. WHAT BILLY LANDED THE AG TEACHER JOB HERE STRAIGHT OUT OF COLLEGE IN 1976, I HAD NO GOALS. FACT, I FIRST STARTED. I JUST HOPE LIKE YOU GET THE YEAR 2 OF IT TO HELP ENCOURAGE HIS STUDENTS AND PUT SOMETHING OVER THE CINDER BLOCKS IN HIS OFFICE. MISTER SCOTT STARTED HANGING PICTURES AND PLAQUES OF WINNING ANIMALS ARE WINNING CATEGORIES.
THAT AG CONTESTS OFFICE RIGHT HERE. IT'S A LOT HARDER TO MAKE THAT WILL THESE DAYS. PROBABLY HAVE TO RAISE YOUR CRITERIA IS TIGHT TIME WENT ON. YES, I WELL, I STARTED OUT. I WAS PUTTING UP PLAQUES THAT THEY WOULD MAKE THE WALL NOW FACE THE AWARDS AND THE STUFFED TROPHY CASE ARE ONE MEASURE OF HIS SUCCESS OVER NEARLY 5 DECADES OF TEACHING. ALL THIS IS THE FIRST ROUND OF THE QUALIFIER WALKING THE HIGH SCHOOL HALLS AND SEEING FORMER STUDENTS OR KIDS WHOSE PARENTS WENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM. GOING BACK. 3 GENERATIONS. HAVE YOU EVER HAD EASY FEELING ON THIS NIGHT SPEECH? COMPETITORS LIKE ALAN TURNER GET 6 TO 8 MINUTES TO DELIVER A SPEECH. THEY WROTE TO 3 JUDGES, THEIR LONGTIME TEACHERS STILL LOVE SEEING THEM LEARN AND GROW.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY SEE THE DIFFERENCE OF WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING, WHAT THEY ARE CAN DO AND IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO WATCH THAT TO 8TH GRADERS LIKE MADELEINE NORVELL, A 3RD GENERATION LEGACY AND JUNIOR. ELIZABETH BRADFORD, MISTER SCOTT IS MUCH MORE THAN A TEACHER. HE'S ONE OF FATHERS. BASICALLY LET'S DO THE BEST. YOU COULD HAVE GONE FOR AN EVEN 50 YEARS. BUT HIS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS WERE TOO HIGH, REALIZED. I DIDN'T HAVE QUITE ENERGY I NEED TO KIND OF DO THE THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN FIRST AND SECOND PLACE FINISHERS WILL GO ON TO REGIONALS AND THE STATE FFA CONVENTION. MISTER SCOTT WILL BE THERE FOR BOTH. >> BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR COOLERS COMMUNITY SCHOOL ARE OFTEN LIKE THAT HOLDING THINGS UP WITHOUT A LOT OF FANFARE. THERE'S NO LOOKING IN AMBER GALEN, CULVER, NEWS 4.
IS THIS A GREAT STATE OR AND WHAT A SUCCESS STORY THER.
