“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”
Dr. Seuss
Greetings Oregon FFA,
I grew up asking the same question over and over again. “Hey Mom, where’s
dad? He’s at Parliamentary Procedure practice.”…..a few months later….
“Mom, where’s dad at? He went to Oregon FFA State Convention.” Being the daughter of a former
agriculture instructor and FFA advisor meant that my Dad wasn’t just mine, but a father to many others.
When fair time rolled around I was his tag along. Not being old enough to show at the fair yet, I could be
found in any one of his FFA student’s animal pens. These are the experiences that I shared and will continue
to share through life with my dad. He has taught me the true meaning of dedication and family.
Being my dad’s tag along and little helper, I always knew there was a place for me in the FFA. The past few
years have really showed me what FFA has to offer. From the people you meet at conventions, to the
lessons I learned and the memories I will never forget. The Hermiston Ag room has been a place where
people came and went through a revolving door, and left not just as teammates but also lifelong friends.
FFA and agriculture have always been a part of my life, and knowing that I will have something that I can
always count on as well as having a place and friends you can count, makes every day a little brighter.
Sharing FFA with my dad has left me with a lifelong goal, which is to make a positive difference in the lives
of others by teaching them what agriculture and the FFA has to offer and the impact it can have.
Being able to have a positive role model taught me what being a part of something bigger is truly about and
gave me the opportunity to do things with my future. It is my honor to announce my candidacy for the
2012-2013 state officer team. I can’t wait to see you, Alive in Action, in Hermiston at the 84th Oregon FFA
State Convention, the place that gave me courage and another family.
Sincerely,

Greetings Oregon FFA,

I grew up asking the same question over and over again. “Hey Mom, where’s

dad? He’s at Parliamentary Procedure practice.”…..a few months later….

“Mom, where’s dad at? He went to Oregon FFA State Convention.” Being the daughter of a former

agriculture instructor and FFA advisor meant that my Dad wasn’t just mine, but a father to many others.

When fair time rolled around I was his tag along. Not being old enough to show at the fair yet, I could be

found in any one of his FFA student’s animal pens. These are the experiences that I shared and will continue

to share through life with my dad. He has taught me the true meaning of dedication and family.

Being my dad’s tag along and little helper, I always knew there was a place for me in the FFA. The past few

years have really showed me what FFA has to offer. From the people you meet at conventions, to the

lessons I learned and the memories I will never forget. The Hermiston Ag room has been a place where

people came and went through a revolving door, and left not just as teammates but also lifelong friends.

FFA and agriculture have always been a part of my life, and knowing that I will have something that I can

always count on as well as having a place and friends you can count, makes every day a little brighter.

Sharing FFA with my dad has left me with a lifelong goal, which is to make a positive difference in the lives

of others by teaching them what agriculture and the FFA has to offer and the impact it can have.

Being able to have a positive role model taught me what being a part of something bigger is truly about and

gave me the opportunity to do things with my future. It is my honor to announce my candidacy for the

2012-2013 state officer team. I can’t wait to see you, Alive in Action, in Hermiston at the 84th^ Oregon FFA

State Convention, the place that gave me courage and another family.
