I have an Agricultural Processing SAE called Cracked Candies. I produce and sell freeze dried candy to our local community.
As I have participated in FFA the past few years, I have found the state officers are the ones who have made sure I felt welcome. I wanted to be able to do the same for those around me. To help them grow and learn about FFA and to help those around me know they are welcome and safe.
The main legacy I want to leave behind is being positive and ready for anything. In this year of service, I want to be uplifting and positive to all those around me. I also want to encourage members to go for it, even when they are scared.
In the future, I plan to attend college and obtain a degree in nursing. At some point during college, I will take a 18 month break to serve a church mission.
Something unique about me is I am in show choir, which is singing and dancing at the same time. The only other thing interesting about me is that I lived in Utah until halfway through the 3rd grade.
Do it scared. I know I have turned down several opportunities because I was scared. That is my main regret. You will have many more opportunities and chances to improve if you do it scared. You also don’t have to be scared to do it, the jist is to do it no matter what.
