Yomar Roman – It Is Not the End
This FFA lesson plan, “It Is Not the End,” is built around the 2019-20 National FFA Southern Region Vice President Yomar Roman’s retiring address video, in which he discusses hearing more, speaking less, and understanding the purpose of one’s tasks. Students watch the video, complete an accompanying worksheet, and create a plan with steps for who they want to become in the future. The resource includes the lesson plan, student activity sheets, and an answer key.
