The Rest is Still Unwritten


Indiana FFA, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for letting me be part of your story. Each member I crossed paths with has had unique passions, strengths, and a story that I have felt privileged to learn about. It is difficult to sum up in words the impact this year, and all of you, have left of me. Thank you for welcoming me into your chapters, schools, and communities with open arms. I will cherish these memories and connections forever! I can’t wait for the day our paths will cross again. Keep dreaming, keep growing, and I can’t wait to see where the blue jacket takes each of you next! 


Always in your corner, 

Kaitlyn Maruszewski

Indiana FFA, thank you for the best year of my life. This year, you have filled my heart with joy, love, and countless memories. Through chapter visits, banquets, conversations, and every moment shared along the way, I have seen firsthand how each of you is multiplying love and sharing it with your chapters, your communities, and the world around you. I am beyond blessed to have traveled across Indiana and witnessed the incredible ways you are making a difference every single day. I cannot wait to continue cheering you on for years to come. You will always have a seat at my table, and I will always be your biggest cheerleader! 


Always in your corner,

Lauren Argotte

2025-2026 Indiana FFA State Secretary



When I reflect on this year, one word comes to mind: “blessed”. Blessed to meet thousands of passionate FFA members. Blessed to serve to serve the organization that has shaped so much of my life the last five years. Blessed to have had a platform to learn, grow, and advocate for what matters most. But to say I am blessed to know each of you would be an understatement. You have impacted me in ways I can’t even begin to explain. Indiana FFA, thank you for giving me a place to be wholeheartedly myself, a purpose to pursue, and memories I will cherish forever. 


This is just the beginning,

Indiana FFA, there are truly no words to describe the love I felt from all of the chapters across the state. From every chapter visit, classroom, handshake, conversation, and every moment shared, you reminded me what it looks like to show up for people. You welcomed me into your communities and allowed me to lead even when I wasn’t perfect. You reminded me that growth rarely happens in comfort; it happens in moments that ask something of us. So when life feels heavy, keep going. If you're tired, keep showing up. And if you’re carrying something no one else can see, keep moving forward. I will forever cherish my 365 days spent with you. Keep showing up, letting others show up for you, and being thankful. 


See you soon,

Calvin Myers

2025-2026 Indiana FFA State Southern Region Vice President



Thank you Indiana FFA. This year has been amazing beyond words! Thank you for welcoming me into your chapters, homes, and chapter events! I truly enjoyed every conversation and interaction I had this year! As each one of you goes on with your life and grows out of the blue jacket, I encourage you to remember all the memories made and lessons learned. I encourage you to keep writing your story and to grow from past chapters, let future chapters guide you and live in the present chapter! Life is meant to be lived moment by moment! Can’t wait to see all that you do!


See ya around,

Lily Sloan

2025-2026 Indiana FFA State Treasurer



Thank you for allowing me to have a year that I’ll never forget. I am so grateful I got to spend 365 days creating new friendships and memories that will last me a lifetime. The impact each one of you has had on me is incomprehensible. You all have changed my life. Thank you for welcoming me into your story and allowing me to live out a dream for one extraordinary year. Remember the impact you can have- even if it’s just one person. Invite them in. Be the kind of people who make sure everyone has a place in the story.


Love you bunches,

Indiana FFA, It has been a true honor being able to serve all you during my years as your state sentinel. Thanks for welcoming into your chapters, getting to know every person I have cross paths with and just being able to share laughs, memories and awkward moments along the way. Of course, if you see me around, don't be afraid to say hi. I will miss the memories and all of the amazing people in this organization. Thank you for always being there, and continue to lead our organization with service and humbleness. 


I leave with this quote from the book of an ancient book that reads - 


“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭


Be Wismatic,
