After registering, I found a student who was from my area back in Missouri, and sat down at his table. Little did I know, that at that moment in time, I would embark on the week of a lifetime.  Over the course of those short-but long- five days I learned a lot about myself and how I want to lead my life. The FFA motto: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve "Living to Serve," that is the line that we focused on during our ti...
