**Impact of Miss Nice on Rural Youth**

Question: QUESTION 2 Read the given passage below and identify the seven (7) different roles that Miss Nice displayed. Give an example of how Miss Nice displayed each of the roles. (28) Secondary school teacher Miss Nice sees her career as an investment in a more equal future for rural area kids who might be interested in pursuing careers in agriculture and STEM. “Kids can sell themselves short out here,” Miss Nice says. “I try to empower them and make sure they don’t feel limited by anything.” Miss Nice, who teaches grades 7 to 9 in a rural school, is passionate about introducing her learners to new technologies and encouraging them to pursue their interests. She recently applied for and brought an iFarm, a fully computerised and interactive farm science research station, to her school. “Opening their eyes is so special,” Miss Nice enthuses. “When you show them something new and you see them light up with excitement, it is so worth it.” For Miss Nice, it is important for young learners to see women succeeding in agriculture. “There are a lot of young female learners I teach that are so passionate and clever when it comes to agriculture,” she says. This year, Miss Nice’s learners were gifted with two beautiful ribbons after participating in the School Merino Wether Challenge, an annual event which educates learners and teachers about the merino industry. These ribbons serve as a daily reminder for Ms. Nice of how she is inspiring her learners to follow their passions and making an impact on her learners’ lives. One of Miss Nice’s learners, who wants to work in agriculture, told her that the challenge was a great learning experience. “It is such a privilege to witness your learners growing in their confidence, engaging with current industry leaders and being inspired to make a difference,” Miss Nice says. Recently, Ms Nice asked her learners what they wanted to be when they grew up. She was moved when one of her learners piped up, “I think I’d like to be a Miss Nice.” “It meant so much to me to hear that," she explains. “I had many wonderful teachers throughout my school years, and it has always been my mission to make sure my learners felt they could look up to me the way I looked up to my teachers in the past.” She adds, “Being involved in young learners’ education is a privilege, and one that constantly challenges me to never stop learning and be better than I was yesterday.” For Miss Nice, the two ribbons remind her of this privilege every day.
