“We’ve got the beach, we’ve got the sun,
South Coast Region is number one!” The
South Coast Region has had an amazing
past few months ‘Diving In!’ This year
we want to challenge you to ‘Dive In’ to
each and every challenge and experience
you meet with passion, dedication, and
leadership. By ‘Diving In’ you can reach
your full potential. At ROLC in July the
regional leaders learned many new skills
and team building activities that they put
into action at our SOLC in September and
our COLC in October. Over the past few
months we have grown close to so many
of our members and we cannot wait to
see how each of you will ‘Dive In’ to help
better your chapter and communities. Let us
know how you are ‘Diving In’ by tagging
us on Instagram @southcoastregionffa and
using the hashtag #SCRFFADiveIn.

laughter ensures the worries fade and
the good times keep rolling. Perhaps
the hardest I’ve ever laughed in my
life was with my Ag Issues team at
National Convention last year the night
before we competed. How can any of
us ask for more than to have our career
filled with gut-busting laughter?
Finally, the qualities of agricultural
education ensure you have a purposerich existence. Research consistently
indicates that the single key to life
fulfillment is to serve something greater
than yourself; I can think of few other
career choices that embody that idea
more than an agricultural educator.
I know how dramatically Sandy
Lovfald, my Ag teacher, changed my
life. You may be saying the same
thing about your Ag teacher. Imagine
your name being remembered as the
“life-changer”, the “difference-maker”,
because it will likely happen should you
choose to join our ranks. Perhaps now
more than ever students need positive
role models, disciplined mentors and
compassionate leaders in their lives.
You could do that; you could use what
you ha
