What advice would you give a freshman
entering FFA?
CARLYN It’s important to realize that this organization
has something for everyone. All you have to do ask
for the chance! KAYLA My advice would be to cherish every single
moment, and take advantage of every opportunity
you can, because four years really do fly by.
REAGAN Get involved in any way you can; if you
have a passion, pursue it. When it’s all over, rather
than looking back and asking, “What if?” look back
and say, “Remember that.” MIRIAM Whether you see yourself as the sports
kid, shy kid or extroverted kid, there is a place for
you in this organization. Your unique qualities and
experiences are valuable, and this organization will
only broaden your horizons.
LINDSEY The FFA Organization is full of opportunity
for those who are interested in becoming the next
generation of agricultural leaders. In all you do,
reach out of your comfort zone with an open mind,
and be present.
DAVID Take advantage of this experience. The best
things happen when we step out of our comfort zone.
