There have been plenty of tired feet over the past 5 months.
Miles in airports. Long drives. Early mornings. Late nights. Countless flights. But every mile has led me to someone worth meeting.
Since the end of February, I’ve had the privilege of traveling across our country and what a journey it has been. I’ve walked through classrooms, convention centers, chapter meetings, camps, and communities. Along the way, I’ve met members with big dreams, teachers who pour their hearts into students, state officers leading with purpose, and supporters who believe deeply in agricultural education.
Looking back through these photos, I’m reminded that this year has never really been about the places I’ve gone, it’s been about the people I’ve met.
Every conversation, every story, every handshake, every laugh, and every lesson has left me better than I was before.
So yes, my feet are tired. But my heart is incredibly full.
Thank you to everyone who has shared a small piece of your story with me. Getting to serve in this role is a privilege I’ll never take for granted. Here’s to the miles behind us and every conversation still to come!
