Share your most memorable FFA experience .
Andrew My ag mechanics team had just had a hard loss at a field day and my teammates piled their hats in the center console of our suburban . It was an unspoken moment of reconciliation , and knowing that everything is going to be okay because of the people that surrounded me .
Lauren Attending the Washington Leadership Conference in Washington , D . C . is one of many highlights ! I learned about the ultimate sacrifice that American men and women have made , and continue to make , for our freedom .
Amanda Tons of experiences flood my mind when it comes to the FFA , but my favorite would have to be when my FFA chapter taped their name tags from a field day to my back ( without me noticing ) and as I went up to receive my award the entire auditorium busted out laughing . It made for an entertaining and quite embarrassing day .
Samuel My most memorable FFA experience would be going to Sacramento

What is your favorite app and why ?
Andrew BBC News - I love learning about everything in the world as soon as it happens and BBC has a generally accurate , unbiased account of the globe in a concise manner .
Lauren Pinterest - I just can ’ t avoid the inspirational quotes and DIY crafts that never turn out exactly like the pictures ...
Amanda I ’ m not one to use a bunch of apps , I actually don ’ t even have Snapchat , but my favorite app would have to be Pandora because I love listening to music and belting out the lyrics when I ’ m alone .
Samuel I really have two , Instagram and Snapchat . Instagram because of the great captions and amazing pictures you can find . Snapchat because of the funny filters and the funny stories from people .
Conner Snapchat , because I look forward to using the new filters daily .
Jace According to my phone , my favorite app is Snapchat , but I disagree because I enjoy clicking on my picture ’ s app and reminiscing on all of the memories I ’ ve made in my life so far . •
