President
Sophia Young
Hello Everyone! My name is Sophia Young and I am honored to serve our county as your 2024 - 2025 President!
I am currently a Senior at Horizon High School. As well as, a proud member and Vice President of the Horizon High FFA Chapter! In my free time, you can find me volunteering at a local dog rescue, working as a vet assistant, helping our schools Athletic Training team & SGA, or serving as the 2024 Florida Miss Agriculture USA! I joined FFA my seventh grade year and since then have flourished into who I am today. My SAE's are in Agriculture Education, Agriculture Communications, & Vet Assisting! My SAE's have allowed me to be able to make a difference within my community and preserve the love for agriculture for years to come! My favorite CDE’S include Ornamental Horticulture Demonstration in the Marketing Division, Agriculture Education, and Veterinary Science. I am so incredibly excited and blessed to serve you and the rest of Orange County as your President!
Advocating for Agriculture
One of the main things I am passionate for is Advocating for Agriculture! I advocate for agriculture through Agriculture Education & Agriculture Communications! I love being able to share all things fun about agriculture with kids and adults! It is very rewarding knowing you can make an impact just by teaching a lesson, attending a community event, or even having a podcast!
Veterinary Assisting
When you can't find me in the Ag room, then I am most definitely at work. During my days at work I spend time helping the Vet Techs take care of animals from dogs to prairie dogs, making surgery packs, and even giving patients some good TLC. This job allows me to explore a career in Veterinary Medicine and helps to prepare for future challenges.
FFA
One of the things I always talk about is how FFA has changed my life. When I started I used to be so shy and very Anti-Social. FFA has brought me out of my shell and taught me things that you can't learn by reading a book. I have been able to make so many friendships and memories over the years that I am unbelievably grateful for!
