SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING ASHLYN QUINN! What if your student has a passion that is not related to agriculture, they want to be part of the FFA and they want to combine the two?  Is there a way to get it done? Our guest today, Ashlyn Quinn, did exactly this in a rural part of Illinois.    In the Illinois FFA there is a proficiency category of safety.  Through Ashlyn's work as a lifeguard, she was able to incorporate her job working as a lifeguard at the local YMCA with her time in the FFA.  This led her to win an Illinois State Proficiency Award in this very category. Ashlyn is done with high school now, and she is on to studying statistics and natural resources at Carl Sandburg Community College in Galesburg, Illinois.
