Renewing the agricultural landscape

The perspective of a young leader

 

Jasson is an agricultural high school student in Sonsonate who is passionate about renewing the agricultural landscape. He is not only learning about agriculture, but also about how to lead and have a positive impact on his community, thanks to his participation in the Leadership course offered by the Colibrí Program.

Understanding leadership beyond command

"While it is true that we now live normally, it is also true that in the future all environmental problems will affect us, so my mission is to continue working to renew the agricultural landscape," says Jasson.

Every Friday, Jasson joins his classmates in workshops designed to enhance their skills and self-awareness. These sessions help them understand their personalities, improve teamwork, and learn the importance of listening and contributing to society. For Jasson, these workshops are more than educational: they are empowering. He feels supported and enjoys the camaraderie, finding the environment comfortable and pressure-free.

"I've learned that a good leader doesn't have to be someone who commands all the time, but someone who supports others, recognizes their efforts, and is willing to admit their own mistakes," he reflects.

Personal growth and responsibility

 

The leadership course has been pivotal for Jasson's personal development. It has taught him the importance of managing his emotions and acting responsibly. He believes this will not only help him become a better person, but will also empower him to create better opportunities for his colleagues.

Passion for agriculture and the environment

Jasson's love for agriculture stems from his deep appreciation for plants, animals, and the environment. His interest in climate, soil, and the social impacts of agriculture fuels his desire to find solutions that can improve soil conditions and protect the environment. He plans to complete his studies and use his knowledge to contribute to nature conservation efforts.

With a clear vision for the future, Jasson is determined to continue his path in agriculture and leadership, aiming to have a lasting positive impact on his community and the environment.
