About me…

I have lived in Animas my entire life so far, and plan on living here after I graduate, and maintain all of my businesses.  (I received the Chapter Agribusiness Award for the 2001-2002 year, and received the State Agribusiness Award in June of 2003.)  I enjoy doing community service, and feel that it only takes one, and sooner or later, there will be more helping out.  I like to write grants, which is how I plan on starting some of my many business I plan to have.  I enjoy spending time with my family, and love to spoil my three nephews:  Chris, 13, Ryan, 6, and Bryce, 3. I also like to design houses for fun, and have thought about being an architect.  Well, I will stop here before I bore you on my life, and achievements.

The following is a questionnaire that the chapter officers were asked to complete.  This is how Jared responded.

 

Q.  Why did you decide to become a member of FFA?

 

A.  I wanted to expand my leadership skills, while competing in events.  I also felt FFA would give me a new and exciting challenge.

 

 

Q.  What is your favorite part of FFA, & why?

 

A.  My favorite part of FFA is the trips, because there is always something new, and you get to meet lots of new people.

 

 

Q.  What do you think a leader is?  What makes a good leader?

 

A.  I think a leader is someone who is always ready to accept a new challenge and responsibility.  A leader is not necessary someone that people look up to, but someone who leaves a lasting impression, even if it the smallest.  To be a good leader, you need to be honest, friendly, and always ready for change.

A.  FFA means a lot to me.  Without FFA I would not be the successful businesses man I am to day.

 

 

Q.  What are your future plans?

 

A.  When I graduate from high school, I plan on attending college, and obtaining my degree in Business Administration and Business Law.  I also plan on owning several businesses, which I am already creating business plans, and writing grants for.
