What advice do you have to a freshman just
beginning their FFA experience? DEVIN One piece of advice I wish I was given as a
freshmen is to be adventurous! Freshman year is the
prime year to step out of your comfort zone in order
to fi nd what you’re truly passionate about.!
MATT Don’t be afraid to jump in with both feet! FFA
has both learning and fun to offer you, so take every
opportunity you have to participate. ORRIN Try something new! Don’t be afraid to step
outside of your comfort zone, believe in yourself and
it might lead you to meet some of your best lifelong
friends!
KYLER Devote yourself to the FFA Creed,
because you only get one shot to compete in
that contest. If you commit yourself to the creed it will
help you believe in yourself and this organization.
AALEXIAS The best advice I could give would be
to be willing enough to put yourself outside of your
comfort zone from the very beginning, whether that
would be trying a contest you aren’t sure about or
even running for an offi cer position. I think it is so very
important to realize that when we do things we are
not necessarily comfortable with that is where we
can truly learn and grow the most.
KYLE The advice I would give to a freshman is don’t
let variables you can’t control get under your skin and
stop you from jumping on opportunities. Life is 20%
what happens, 80% how you react to it!

Favorite quote
MATT “Can’t never could”
KYLER “Only I can change my life, no
one else can do it for me.” ~ Carol
Burnett
AALEXIAS “Be somebody who makes
everybody feel like a somebody.”
~ Kid President
KYLE “We could either be mad
because rose bushes have thorns,
or rejoice because thorn bushes
have roses” ~ Abraham Lincoln
DEVIN “Perhaps this is the moment for
which you were created.”
ORRIN “The power of imagination makes

Favorite “tech-free” way to pass time.
MATT I enjoy visiting and eating with good friends.
KYLER A round of golf with my buddies.
AALEXIAS I usually either spend time with friends,
coloring or even cleaning when trying to pass time.
KYLE My favorite way to pass time is to play the
guitar.
DEVIN Being horseback, writing and drawing are
my favorite ways to pass time.
ORRIN Fly-fi shing for trout! I spend my winters tying
my own fl ies, and every summer I use every free
moment I have on small spring creeks, chasing wild
beautiful trout. There is something about a calm day
of fi shing that relaxes the soul.
