I first joined FFA in 6th grade because I wanted to learn more about horses. Little did I know that my Advisor that year had big plans for me. From becoming state champions in Horse Evaluation to chapter meetings, my love for FFA grew. Now I see that FFA is so much more than livestock and plants, it's a place to learn and to grow into the best version of yourself. Above all, FFA is a gigantic family full of the future leaders of agriculture that will give you life long friends. 

My SAE project is one of my favorite things in FFA and agriculture. I love working with my bees and helping such important creatures in our ecosystem. I have been working with bees for over 2 years and have managed to grow my apiary to 10 hives!  

FFA has taught me life lessons I would not have learned outside of this organization. FFA has also guided me and shown me what I want to pursue as an adult and will help me get there through all of the experiences and opportunities that are offered. I love all of the memories that are made and the lifelong friends I have met through FFA.
