Brandi Marché Bishop, an Agricultural Education major from Pike County, chose ABAC in the sixth grade.

   “After visiting the ABAC booth at the FFA convention in the sixth grade, I knew that ABAC was the college for me,” Bishop said. “I went on tours and fell in love with the historical campus in a small town; it has been a home away from home.”

   She enjoys being involved in the ABAC Ambassadors, Agricultural Engineering Technology and collegiate FFA.

   “The best thing about attending ABAC is the small class size and friendly atmosphere,” Bishop said. “You can’t walk around campus without getting a smile and hello from everyone you pass.”

   After finishing her studies at ABAC, Bishop plans to transfer to UGA Tifton campus to obtain her Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Sciences. After that she hopes to earn a master’s and eventually teach Agricultural education.

   Bishop’s favorite quote is by Babe Ruth “Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game”.
