1000 Words, 

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. However, these are worth so much more. Countless tears (happy and sad), memories, laughter, and conversations. Small town South Carolina Jabe never thought he’d see D.C., Let alone step foot on capitol ground, but this week was a blessing. 

It was life changing to hear hundreds of perspectives from not just all over the country but the world as well. How much of a blessing is it that we have a voice, one to be shared and recognized.

This week taught me countless things, but here’s 3 big ones.
1. All it takes is one word to make an impact
2. Life is too beautiful to be wasted on only seeing the pain.
3. No matter how hard of a time we’re going through, God can still use us to change someone’s life.

South Carolina FFA, I challenge you to have a Thousand words, be the impact, make the change!

Live Más

What does it really mean to Live More?

This week, I had the opportunity to attend the 2026 State Officer Summit. Throughout the week, Jael was my small group leader, and she challenged me to think differently about what it means to truly Live Más.

I learned that it isn’t about where you’re from, how you were raised, or even who you are. It’s about saying yes to opportunities, stepping outside your comfort zone, embracing every moment, and making the most of every opportunity you’re given.

A huge thank you to Jael for your leadership and encouragement, and to every state officer I had the chance to meet this week. Thank you for the conversations, laughs, and memories. I already can’t wait to see y’all again! @nffa_wvp

1,434 days ago I walked into my first agriculture class terrified of standing out. 
1,165 days ago I put on my first blue jacket thinking it was stiff and refusing to wear a skirt. 
17 days ago I took off my blue jacket for the last time, wishing I had just one more day.

South Carolina FFA, I will never take for granted the impact you’ve had on my life. You changed me in ways I never could have imagined and gave me experiences, friendships, and opportunities that shaped the person I am today.

To our 14,000 incredible members, thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, welcoming me, and teaching me lessons I will carry with me forever. Take every opportunity FFA gives you because you truly never know who you’ll meet, whose life you’ll impact, or where those opportunities might lead.

To my team, Thomas (Tina), Brooklyn, Anabelle, Kaitlyn, and Kayci, thank you for always being there. Whether I needed someone to cry with, laugh with, distract me, teach me a line dance, help me learn a speech, go on a random drive, or simply listen, you never hesitated. I will forever cherish the memories we made this year and I am so thankful for each of you. I can’t wait to see where life takes us next.

To the new team, Jabe, Savannah, Lily, Thomas, Brooklyn, and Cale, this year is going to fly by, so be present for every moment. Say yes to the adventures, embrace every challenge, and never underestimate the impact you can have.

As I close this chapter, I leave with more than memories. I leave with lifelong friendships, countless lessons, and a heart that is forever changed because of this organization.

Thank you, South Carolina FFA, for giving me a place to grow, to serve, and to give back to the organization who shaped me into the person I am today. The jacket may come off, but everything it gave me will stay with me forever.
