That is until his ag teacher Gaston Hornung encouraged him to join FFA. He didn\u2019t know exactly what he was getting into but was willing to give it a try.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was just a new experience and I absolutely fell in love. It taught me so many things,\u201d said Juarez, who, in addition to running his own auto-detailing business, shows steers and pigs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest words I have [to describe FFA] are \u2018life-changing. It\u2019s a motivator to keep going because you see outcomes from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Juarez competed in Agricultural Sales this year, which will be his last state CDE as he graduates from high school this semester. He wants to work in lending or insurance and will be attending CSU in the fall to pursue a degree in Agricultural Business with a minor in Marketing.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the future of ag, community is what comes to mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see a bigger community coming together and making it better than it has ever been. I see all the new technologies coming in. But I still see all the old traditions coming together and still enjoying the farming and ranching \u2013 the overall community.
