lots of good learning expe-

Great Job, JCC FFA!
Your signature of success is promoting
premier leadership, personal growth and
career success.
our senior parli team, which
will compete at state, and
Im training on the farm
management team. Ive
also been to FFA camps the
summers after my freshman
and sophomore years.
Why did you join FFA?
I was hesitant to join FFA,
but my parents convinced
me because they knew that
I would enjoy it and that be-
ing in FFA is a good experi-
ence to have.
What do you like most
about FFA? What I like
about FFA is that it opens
your eyes to the whole
world, through agriculture.
Not only that, but I have
learned a lot of useful skills
and had many opportunities
that I would have never ex-
perienced if I never joined
FFA.
How has FFA helped you
grow as a person? FFA
helped me unlock my lead-
ership and communication
abilities. I have also grown
through the many interest-
ing things I have learned
from the teams I have been
on.
What advice would you
give to younger students? I
would encourage others to
get involved in something
that interests you because
FFA can open a ton of doors
for you in the future. FFA
is one of the best things to
get involved in because it
has ample opportunities to
learn and grow.
What are your plans for
the future? In the future I
plan on going either to the
University of Wisconsin or
to SDSU to study engineer-
ing or science.
team (4 years); parliamen-
tary procedure team (1
year); novice parliamentary
procedure team (1 year)
Why did you join FFA?
The frst time I was intro-
duced to FFA was ninth
grade. I remember all of the
upper classmen saying how
much fun it was so I decided
to try it. I ended up enjoying
it a lot and getting involved
in a variety of activities.
What do you like most
about FFA? I love all of the
different opportunities I get
to have in the FFA organi-
zation. It allows me to learn
and experience things I
would have never been able
to in the classroom.
How has FFA helped you
grow as a person? FFA has
allowed me to become more
outgoing, utilize my leader-
ship skills as an offcer, and
let me explore many differ-
ent opportunities that I may
not have had anywhere else.
What advice would you
give to younger students? I
would tell them to give FFA
a try. It has a lot of oppor-
tunities for you to grow and
develop as a person. You
will also have a lot of fun
along the way.
What are your plans for
the future? I plan to attend
Buena Vista University in
Storm Lake, Iowa, and ma-
jor in human performance.
What are your plans for
the future? I plan on at-
tending the University of
Minnesota Twin Cities next
fall and majoring in applied
plant science.
vice is to be confdent and
always work hard in every-
thing you do.
What are your plans for
the future? My plans for the
future are to go to college
after high school with some
sort of science major.

with an education major. I
would also like to receive a
minor in music.

In the United States, a land of plenty, one in six Americans will experience food insecurity some time during the coming year. Today, millions of Americans
struggle with hunger. These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several
meals, or even days. Around the world, more than 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes every day. That is one child every fve seconds. An estimated 1
billion people did not have enough to eat during 2011.
National FFAs Feeding the WorldStarting at Home initiative is a compelling educational movement
to help students understand the issues and effects of hunger. Students then take action to support the human
right to safe, affordable, abundant and nutritious food as a means of reducing hunger at home and abroad,
starting with a look at the U.S. The frst step is to educate teachers and students about domestic and global
food insecurity. The second is to organize hunger relief efforts that give FFA members opportunities to apply
what they have learned to fght hunger and promote food security for all.

CONGRATULATIONS, FFA!
know what else I could
pursue.
What do you like most
about FFA? The way the
organization is set up. Its
fun and everyone strongly
believes in the organization,
which is centered on agri-
culture. I also like all the
competitions whether
its region, state or even
national. It really is fun to
meet new people who have
the same beliefs as I do.
How has FFA helped you
grow as a person? My fear
of speaking in front of an
audience overcoming
that really is setting me up
for a great future.
What advice would you
give to younger students?
Just join it nothing to
lose by doing so. Plus, once
you join, your own destiny
will truly show its colors.
What are your plans for
the future? College to pur-
sue business and interna-
tional business.
experience and you learn a
lot of new things.
What are your plans for
the future? To take farm
management classes at
Minnesota West, and build
a 2,400-head swine barn.
What are your plans for
the future? To go to col-
lege and take on business
of some sort.
cause I get to see how much
I know compared to other
members from different
chapters around the state.
How has FFA helped you
grow as a person? I have
learned not to take anything
for granted. I am working
harder toward my goals.
The leadership skills I have
gained are helping me be-
come a better role model at
my school. I make sure no
one is left out of activities.
What advice would you
give to younger students?
FFA will change your life.
You will meet new people
and gain skills you dont
have. Being part of the
FFA is a great experience
to have. Be yourself.
What are your plans for
the future? I plan on attend-
ing the University of Min-
nesota to study to become
an ag teacher.
