My name is Ashley Buessing and I grew up on a farm in Axtell, Kansas. I graduated from Axtell High School in 2015. I was very active in school and I participated in volleyball, basketball, track, and cheerleading as well as National Honor's Society and FCCLA. I have two sisters and one brother. Anna is a senior in high school, Derek is a freshman, and Alison is in 6th grade. I love going back home to watch my siblings play sports and to hang out with my family.
Currently, I am a Junior at Kansas State University. I am majoring in Elementary Education with an emphasis in English. I work part time at St. Luke's Early Learning Center here in Manhattan in my free time between classes. I will graduate in December of 2018. I hope to teach in Axtell or in that area after graduation. Teaching has always been a passion of mine. I even used to force my younger siblings to play school with me when we were growing up! I want to challenge my future students to always try their best and I want to make a difference in the life of a child.
