Kansas FFA Reporter: December 2014
http://ksffareporter.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2014. The sun was going down, the wind was coming up. Even so, I pedaled on. It is mid October and earlier on this day I had decided to end a busy week of classes by riding my bike on the Linear trail in Manhattan, KS. As I rode on I checked my phone for the time. It was nearly 9:30 pm, and I had started riding at 9. 8220;Why is this ride taking me so long? 8221; I asked myself. Finally, I decided I had had enough. I stopped at the next sign with a map of Linear Trail. It was defi...

Kansas FFA Vice President: March 2015
http://ksffavice.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Kansas FFA Vice President. Sunday, March 15, 2015. Stop and Smell the (Sage). What the results are showing is that your worst allergies are to hickory trees, cats, and sage. You said you were going to California next week? They have sage everywhere out there". Thank you, Doctor. I really. Appreciate you pointing that out. Long story short, I might as well be surrounded by hundreds of cats. This realization made me start to dread the trip and, once we got here, pretty miserable with anticipation of th...

Kansas FFA Vice President: July 2014
http://ksffavice.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Kansas FFA Vice President. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. After a weekend on the lake, Dad and I decided we should satisfy our need for excitement through a hike in the Ozarks. A quick Google search brought up a nearby trail and we set out with nothing but our favorite ball caps and two bottles of water. Now, neither of us have any real experience hiking, but how hard can it be? I mean, it's just walking around in nature, right? How often do we do have something similar happen in our lives?

Kansas FFA Secretary: The Race
http://ksffasecretary.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-race.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. 8220;The real purpose of running isn't to win the race, it’s to test the human heart”- Bill Bowerman. We ran for what seemed three-quarters of a mile. I could see the end of the road, meaning our destination was in sight. I took off! Finally, this is the second time Kansas FFA has heard or read of my running conquests (I promise my running stories are depleted). I would like to take the opportunity to introduce what my race of life consists of:. What we woke up to every morning.

Kansas FFA President: January 2014
http://ksffapresident.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. The other day it hit me… Right smack dab in the face—my time serving Kansas FFA members is over halfway done. I’m on the downhill slope. My time in the blue jacket is almost over. This thought, in all honesty, scares me a little. Tons of thoughts rush through my head… Have I made a good use of my time? Did I make a difference? How many lives have I touched? These thoughts make me more determined than ever to make the most of my remaining time in the Kansas FFA blue corduroy.

Kansas FFA President: Take the Time to Hit Pause
http://ksffapresident.blogspot.com/2014/03/take-time-to-hit-pause.html
Monday, March 31, 2014. Take the Time to Hit Pause. My parents are, in all honesty, the most kind and selfless people that I know. I’m sure that most people would say that about their parents, but even if my parents weren’t mine, I would still feel the same. They are the type of people who are never too busy to drop everything and take the time to listen to others. Are we spending so much time talking that we can’t listen? If someone has accomplished something really cool, ask them about it. Are we there...

Kansas FFA Secretary: September 2014
http://ksffasecretary.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2014. In high school I focused immensely on sports. After school I would devote two and a half hours of my day to that specific sport that season. However, I underwent a change when I graduated high school, because, despite my five year-old aspirations, I will not be a professional football/basketball/baseball player. Now it seems that every spare moment of my life (outside of FFA) is focused on my academic materials. In Seth Godin’s book The Dip. If not, do not feel reluctant abou...

Thursday, December 25, 2014. Around Christmastime, each family has its own traditions whether it’s decorating the Christmas tree, singing Christmas carols, baking delicious treats, or trading secret Santa gift. In my family, it’s a tradition to watch the Charlie Brown special on each holiday with our favorite being A Charlie Brown Christmas. As Kris Kringle tells us in Miracle on 34. Blessings to you and your family on this special day! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Are we there yet?

Kansas FFA Secretary: May 2014
http://ksffasecretary.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 10, 2014. What do they mean for your future? I can think of a “last” happening very soon for myself. My final exams are next week, marking the last days of my freshman year of college. On the bright side, these final days count down to the time when I get to see some of the best dressed people in the State of Kansas wearing their blue corduroy as we kick off the 86. For your hard work? For putting in extra time to help out those around you? You might not be recognized for every single thing...

Kansas FFA President: February 2014
http://ksffapresident.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. Today is the last day of what, for me at least, has been a jam-packed, fun-filled month full of FFA. I’m sure that a lot of you had a blast celebrating National FFA Week last week. I want to give a warm shout-out and thank you to the chapters that hosted me—I had a blast getting to see the cool things that FFA members across our state are accomplishing. You are all truly inspiring! During FFA Week, we do an awesome job of telling the story of FFA and agricultural education.
