Riley Hildebrand was a district FFA officer candidate. While she did not make the final ballot, she said she learned a lot from participating in the interview process.  Hildebrand said, “This experience has taught me a lot, not only about FFA, but about myself and how I can overcome challenges.  Next year I plan to go through the process again.”
