Doster Harper – Keep Running

This is Doster Harper's 2021 retiring address as 2020-21 National FFA President. Through stories from his high school track career, an all-night 20-mile ROTC ruck march, and virtual chapter visits during the pandemic, Harper explores the theme of perseverance through life's "unforgiving minutes." He urges FFA members to recognize they cannot persevere alone, to find a support system, and to make hard moments worth it for others by committing to run hard through every struggle.
