OFI 1663: An FFA Advisor In Training | FFA SAE Edition | Makenzie McDaniel | Flowing Wells High School FFA
Makenzie McDaniel is a senior at Flowing Wells High School in Tucson, Arizona, and she is the "student advisor" member of her FFA Chapter's Officer Team. Makenzie has her sights set on becoming an ag teacher and FFA Advisor herself, and this role on the officer team suits that pursuit perfectly. In this role, Makenzie watches how her fellow chapter members are progressing, sees what they need help with and is there to answer questions. When one of them is stumbling or has questions, she is there to assist, but without taking over, just by advising. It takes a lot of maturity to know how to advise without completely taking over the show, an Makenzie is already there. In addition to her role on the officer team, Makenzie raises a market steer and market goat for the county fair, and she keeps them at the school's facility. This allows her and students who don't have land to raise animals and get that real world experience. Makenzie has applied to attend the Univeristy of Arizona, right there in Tucson, to study ag education. And, in about 5 years, I am hoping to be interviewing one of Makenzie's FFA students!
