I had a similar experience to yours nearly thirty years ago as a student in suburban Southern California. I learned lessons about working with others in a youth service organization and had great experiences with many FFA friends which I have drawn on throughout my life.

Sebastopol FFA

The FFA (Future Farmers of America) of Sebastopol, California has changed my life so much since freshman year. During Middle School and even before that, I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere. But through FFA I have met a lot of new friends.

I tried to become a chapter officer as a freshman, and now in my senior year I have finally made it. I am the current Sebastopol FFA treasurer. FFA has really meant a lot to me. It is the only club I have been involved in since I started high school and I love being so involved in it. FFA is the greatest.

I would really like to thank my chapter advisor and current and past officer teams for encouraging me to keep trying no matter what happens. FFA has taught me a lot about animals and what happens to them from birth onward. This is why I wanted to write my story on Sebastopol FFA.
