What is your favorite FFA
activity? Why?

through your FFA experience?
"Throughout my FFA experience, I have learned to be kind, helpful, and especially thoughtful to our community."

What is your supervised
agricultural experience?

What has been the highlight
of your FFA career?
"The highlight of my FFA career would definitely be the top fruit seller for the past seven years. On average each year I sell about 50 to 75 bushels. This is a great amount for a member of our chapter to sell. Another highlight would be receiving my FFA state degree last summer."
What are your plans after
high school?
"After graduating high school this year, I plan to go straight to work. "
