How has FFA prepared you for your future aspirations: FFA has prepared me for my future aspirations by preparing me to become a leader, a good public speaker, how to make good use of my time, and how to work with a team. I plan to become a pharmacist and this organization has given me the life skills I need to do so.

Special thanks: I would like to thank my Ag teacher and FFA advisor Mrs. (Tiffany) Hoy, as she has given me countless opportunities that have changed my life. She has allowed me to find my path and encourage me to do my best at everything I try.

Quote: "FFA is more than agriculture education, it is an organization that prepares students for life scenarios. Being in FFA I have learned so much on how to be ready for my life after high school and it has given me life long memories and friends that I am truly grateful for."
