How has FFA prepared you for the future: FFA has prepared me for my future aspirations because it is teaching me every-day tasks from how to do a research project to all aspects of life, like public speaking and interviewing to budgets and other important tasks. It's also helped me narrow my focus on a career as I hope to attend Penn State University and major in a field of biology.
Special thanks: Special thanks to my cousin, Jaylon Beck, who inspired me to join FFA and my awesome adviser, Mrs. Hoy, who makes every class and meeting fun!
Quote: "FFA is a youth-based organization that helps make leaders and grow our leadership skills, to help us learn all about the agricultural industry and it's not all just farmers and all about farming. FFA also helps students from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands learn more life skills, such as teamwork, dedication, focus and drive."
