Andy Paul – Hold On
This is Andy Paul's 2015 retiring address as 2014-15 National FFA President. Through personal stories—a childhood grocery cart mishap, a canoeing adventure in New York, and the loss of his grandfather—Paul explores the difference between happiness and lasting joy, and urges FFA members to hold on to joy and to something greater in their lives, such as faith, family, service, or self-worth. He closes by thanking members for allowing him to hold on to them during his year of service.
