Ten to fifteen different words that describe your ag teacher:
"Visionary yet practical, compassionate yet challenging, highly organized yet not reticent to get 'out of the box', one of my top three teachers"
Your home chapter(s) name i.e. What is on the back of a freshman jacket where you went to school:
Haxtun
List three to five awards or accomplishments you achieved as an FFA member that you are most proud of:
"National FFA President, State FFA President, State Star Farmer, National Livestock Proficiency Award 1st Place, State Public Speaking 2nd place"
Fondest Memory of being in FFA or a connection that you have to FFA if you were not a member:
"Spending 320 days on the road 120,000 miles in one year working with my 5 fellow National Officers encouraging younger FFA members to make the most of their opportunities. The friendships made through FFA have been the foundation of my life work and experiences."
If your ag teacher were with you today, what would you want to tell them regarding the impact that FFA and your instructor had on your life?
"Fortunately, I had a very close relationship with my ag teacher throughout his life --- especially in the later years, so I was able to tell him in person how great his impact was on my life. What I learned and observed in him went far beyond the subject of agriculture and helped form the values and judgments that govern my life today."
What advice would you give FFA members today?
"Focus closely on every individual aspect of your FFA experience as you go along. It is the compilation of these judging, speaking, showing, leadership training, classroom knowledge, shop skills, practical project experiences, etc., etc. which will prepare you for your future!"
