Student Presentation Comments:

“Andrea’s message of courage, hope, and determination was an incredible way to kick-off our state convention. Her commitment to living out her faith no matter what is a lesson all Americans need to learn. Andrea’s energy and genuine interest in students is amazing! Our students walked away challenged to make a difference, show appreciation to others, and live life to the fullest.”
	Mr. Steven Rogers, Executive Secretary Missouri FFA Association

"Thank you so much for your presentation. The students truly enjoyed the program and got a good recharge from it. I could tell there was something different in the air today after your speech—just a greater sense of empathy and understanding for each other.
