<\/a><\/div>\n

So far in my year of service, my schedule is full of long days, late nights, and miles upon miles of travel. I love the work I get to do and the impact I get to make, but being more than 200 miles away from home can make some days feel a little longer than usual. Luckily, I have a support system back home that never lets me forget where I come from\u2014especially my little brother, Sawyer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sawyer is in the fifth grade, but he already carries himself with the enthusiasm of someone ready to make a difference. He\u2019s incredibly smart, thoughtful, passionate about everything he does, and quite possibly one of the funniest people I know. He wants to follow in my footsteps by being in FFA someday, so he tags along to as many events as he can, always ready to learn, make new friends, and be my biggest cheerleader (even asking countless times if he can live with me and my teammates). While the miles Sawyer has traveled to see me mean the world, one of my favorite ways Sawyer supports me is with his jokes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some days, right when my teammates and I need a little boost in morale, my phone lights up with a call from Sawyer. And without fail, he always has a joke ready to go. Some recent highlights include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    \u201cHow much did Santa\u2019s sleigh cost? Nothing\u2014it was on the house.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    \u201cWhat do you call a cop in bed? Undercover.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    And the one he said I would like best: \u201cWhat car did Jesus drive? A Christ-ler.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    But it\u2019s more than just jokes. When Sawyer came as a guest to my banquet, he surprised both my teammate Calvin and me with two of his own Tech Decks that he was willing to give away to make us happy. For those of us who don\u2019t know what a Tech Deck is, it is a miniature and functional skateboard you can play with. He also writes me letters, sends me little gifts, and leaves sweet messages reminding me how much he misses me back home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Each one of these small acts means a world more than he knows. They bring a bit of home to me, making the busy days and long drives feel lighter. Sawyer doesn\u2019t know this, but his acts of kindness remind me why I do what I do, and who I do it for.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I hope that someday, when he puts on the blue corduroy jacket himself, he knows that he has already embodied everything FFA stands for: leadership, service, and heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I couldn\u2019t be prouder to call him my little brother.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Love you Soy Boy,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Erianna Vela\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
