Thank You for REALLY Making a Difference
In a few weeks, my teammates and I will be passing the torch. We feel so privledged to have been given this opportunity to serve the FFA at the national level. October 22-25 we will celebrate those national winners and supporters of our organization. Congratulations to all of those who have made it to such a high level--that is quite an accomplishment.
I also want to congratulate all those who haven't. The highlight of my year will not be National Convention, I can tell you that. It has been the 360 days before convention. The days that I have met thousands of extrodinary FFA members and teachers. The days that I have seen students roll up thier sleves and make a difference in thier communities and states. The highlight of this year is the fact that FFA members don't just work hard to make an impact during five days of national convention, but FFA members do it everyday. It is hard to articulate this to non-FFA members, but those who walk into an Agriculture program, even for a day, can better understand.
Thank you members, thank you teachers, thank you parents, and thank you supporters for serving a greater cause than yourself. You are the reason this world is a better place than it was yesterday.
Continue to serve, your impact is larger than you realize. :-)
