At HCOS, we love celebrating the incredible achievements of our students. Every learner’s journey is unique, and we are proud to support them as they pursue their passions. Today, we’re excited to share the inspiring story of Grade 9 student Jocelynn J. and her success in livestock showing.
A Passion for Livestock
Jocelynn J. has been involved in livestock showing since 2019, participating in 4-H and honing her skills in working with sheep, cattle, and barrel racing horses. This passion has taken her across British Columbia, allowing her to compete, learn, and grow in the agricultural field.
“I love showing animals because it allows me to show how I have worked to improve agriculture while showing off my livestock.” Jocelynn shares.
Through years of dedication, she has not only developed expertise in livestock care but has also gained confidence, leadership skills, and a deep appreciation for agriculture.
The Flexibility of Home Education
Thanks to the flexibility of online learning at HCOS, Jocelynn has been able to dedicate time to her passion while staying on track academically.
“It has given me so much more time to work with my livestock, as well as go places and learn more about agriculture without worrying about missing classes.” she explains.
With the ability to structure her learning around her agricultural pursuits, Jocelynn has made the most of both education and real-world experience.
Looking Ahead
Jocelynn’s journey doesn’t stop here—she is now embarking on an exciting new endeavour: starting her own livestock breeding business. Her goal is to continue learning, helping others, and improving agriculture through hands-on experience and dedication.
At HCOS, we believe that education should empower students to explore their unique gifts and talents. Jocelynn’s story is a testament to the incredible opportunities that come with personalized learning and pursuing one’s passions.
