The FFA Family: "It’s more than just a club; it’s like a family," Andrew says. "It’s a place where everyone supports each other and wants to see each other succeed."

Morgan’s Advice: "Try everything—a CDE, an LDE, or an event you’ve never been to. If you try it and don’t like it, you don’t have to do it again, but if you never try, how will you know?"
