Tennessee FFA Association - State Officers - President

President


Name:		Heather McLean
Home Chapter:		Dyer County FFA Chapter in Newbern, TN
SAE:
	I raise and show registered Charolais and Holstein cattle.
Favorite CDE:
	Definitely the Prepared Public Speaking CDE is my favorite. My sophomore year I competed in it and was awful, so for me this CDE became a challenge. Each year I worked harder and harder to become successful. I finally reached success this year at Convention.
How You Got Involved In The FFA:
	My father and grandfather were both in FFA, and I have always grown up on the farm so joining FFA was just the natural thing to do. Although, I never thought that I would get so involved in FFA and this organization would lead me to find my passion for agriculture.
Most Influential Role Model:
	My mother is my most influential role model. She is so determined and strong and would do anything for me, my brother, and my dad.
Future Plans:
	I am very excited to attend The University of Tennessee at Martin this fall. I will be majoring in Agricultural Communications.
Message To The Greenhand Members:
	To get involved in everything as soon as you possibly can. I promise you, you won’t regret it!.
If You Could Travel Anywhere In The World:
	Australia. It has such a wide variety of wildlife and the land is gorgeous. I would love to go on an exchange program and stay in Australia for at least a month, and who doesn’t want to see Kangaroos and Koalas.
