On October 31, 2015, I officially accepted the American FFA Degree. All the hours of working on my SAE projects, in the community, in the classroom, and practicing for and competing in CDE’s all lead up to an incredibly surreal fifteen seconds on the national convention stage to receive my degree and the acquisition the prestigious American FFA Degree key that I will forever cherish. I am extremely blessed to have had all the opportunities that I had through being involved National FFA Organization to be able to achieve such a high honor. As an Agriscience Education major in the department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership, I hope to be able influence and assist many students in accomplishing their goals as well as also receiving the American FFA Degree just as my teacher, Mr. Joseph Slone did for me.
