Paul Moya
Meet the National FFA President
January 2009
Meet your new national FFA president, Paul Moya! Paul was raised on a small family farm in central New Mexico, where they raise alfalfa. He comes from an FFA family; his older brother and sister were both members, his dad is an FFA advisor, and his mom attends most FFA events as a supporter. Learn more from our interview with Paul.
QHow did it feel to hear your name called out as the 2008-09 national FFA president?
AIt felt like forever before they announced president, but it was absolutely a dream come true! I had chills down my arms, and my stomach felt like I was on a roller coaster as I stood there waiting. It was one of the most exciting moments of my life, and I couldn’t wait to get on stage and hug my new teammates! I am so honored to serve this year as the national FFA president.
QBesides being elected to national office, what was a highlight of the 2008 National FFA Convention for you?
AI simply love the start of each convention session – the lights, music, energy and of course the laser show! The career show has also always been one of my favorite parts, and I enjoy meeting new friends from all over the country.
QWhat have you learned about your teammates so far?
AThey are an amazing group of FFA members. They truly live to serve, and I know that this organization is much better because of my five teammates. They are simply amazing, and I can’t wait to see the incredible impact they will have on our organization this next year.
QWhat first inspired you to join FFA?
AMy father was an FFA advisor, and I went to my first New Mexico FFA State Convention at 8 months old. So I guess you could say FFA is in my blood. As a little boy, I couldn’t wait to start high school, join FFA and get my very own flashy blue corduroy jacket!
