The FFA is like my second family the people In the FFA helped me through some rough times in my life but also helped me with my shyness. I have made a lot of friends and learned a lot of things I never would’ve been able to learn if I wasn’t in the FFA, how to weld, put up a fence, or take care of farm animals. Being in the FFA has helped me figure out what I want to do and what I want to be when I grow up.
