Who’s ready for everyone’s favorite week of the year? If you said you can’t WAIT for National FFA Week, you would be correct!
Ever since I joined FFA, you could always find me counting down the days each and every year until National FFA Week came around. From my chapter’s third grade ag day in which my chapter’s officers would go to elementary schools in our county and share the story of agriculture to my chapter’s annual Culver’s share night, you can bet that this week was the best out of the year (and, of course, the free Culver’s custard made it even better). As I pursued district office in high school, I was fortunate enough to visit other chapters from around my district during FFA Week. As a state officer, it has been awesome to continue fulfilling my passion of seeing students in their own schools and how they are able to thrive in their chapters. I can’t wait to visit many more chapters next week as I celebrate alongside them!
However, what I’m most looking forward to is having my birthday during National FFA Week. Since my birthday is on February 18th, it falls during FFA Week each and every year. It has always been a blast to get double the amount of celebration on my birthday. I can’t wait to spend my special day with my 14,497 closest friends as I travel the state to celebrate National FFA Week. Man, it’s going to be a fun week filled with celebrating and advocating for our organization!
What are you most looking forward to this National FFA Week? Are you excited to spend time with your friends and FFAmily, to serve others, or to celebrate your hard work in FFA? No matter what we’re looking forward to, National FFA Week provides each and everyone of us with the opportunity to display our pride in our organization. FFA Week allows each of our over 1,000,000 members from around the nation to celebrate the unity that brings us all together. By sharing our pride with others, we will continue to make the National FFA Organization the premier youth leadership organization. This National FFA Week, I challenge you to take pride in your roots and to celebrate the inspiring future of our organization for years to come!
Counting down the days until next week,
Cale Williams
Indiana FFA State Southern Region Vice President
