Sarah Draper – All That, For This
This is Sarah Draper's 2016 retiring address as 2015-16 National FFA Western Region Vice President. Through stories about failing level 3 swim class, her grandmother's fading memory, and a member named Erica who regained the ability to ride horses despite being in a wheelchair, Draper explores the phrase "I did all that for this" and how perspective transforms it from regret into gratitude. She encourages members to identify what is important to them, actively look for the good, and persist through hardship, assuring them that the effort is worth it.
