This is Ashley Willits's 2017 retiring address as 2016-17 National FFA Eastern Region Vice President. Through stories about her softball career, her stepfather, her brothers, and strangers profiled in Humans of New York, she explores the concept of giving "our best love"—actively choosing to find the great in others, seek understanding of why people act as they do, and love everyone without conditions. She challenges the audience to stop jumping to conclusions and instead commit to this intentional, grace-filled love for every person in their lives.
