“This year I graduated from the Agricultural College and I appreciate all, the College gave to me – good education, a mix of knowledge about production, growing processes, and distribution of all beautiful things, which may be created by heart and mind.

"Education at the Higher School “Agricultural College”, Plovdiv gave me the exclusive opportunity to go on educational-practical internship programs abroad. I was in England, Denmark, and the US and worked in different fields of the agri-business. In England – I picked fruits; in Denmark I worked in a cow-farm; in the US – I worked in the horticulture sector – a business not very wide-spread in Bulgaria. I have some ideas for making a professional career; and I hope that the practical experience abroad and the good education at the Agricultural College will help me, because the agricultural business is, and will be a profitable business”
