 Pation Ann Smith lives on her poultry farm with her mom, Masie; her dad, Chad; and her little sister, Kennedy. Pation’s favorite colors are blue and white and  her favorite food is chicken. Paiton has lived in Madison her whole life. She recommends traveling as it helps you learn and have fun.  Her favorite animal is the red panda.

Something that comes easy to her is conversations, and Pation says that her favorite subject is, “history, because my dad got me into history.” If she had a Youtube channel it would be about different travel destinations. She says if she could live anywhere for a year she would live "somewhere in the United States that’s warmer than South Dakota but not as hot as Arizona.”

Pation’s favorite movies and television shows are The Proposals, Chicago P.D., and Yellowstone. If she could have any super-power she would want to be able to speak to animals, so she can understand her own animals. If she could be any character she would be Belle from Beauty and the Beast because she doesn't judge people by their appearance.

Pation plans to go to Northern State or DSU for college and graduate with a Bachelor's in history education. She'd like to teach high school history then eventually teach at the college level. She sees herself as a history teacher with a family and a pet in 10 years.
