FAITH born of DEEDS

Body
The FFA Creed I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds — achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. Ever since the third grade, Sealy High School senior Avery Dittert has had one constant in her life: her love for showing animals at county fairs.
