FFA mission states FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their ______ for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

• A. Potential
• B. Motivation
• C. Capacity
• D. Talent

Answer: (A)

The statement focuses on developing what students can become with the right experiences. “Potential” fits because it means the latent abilities that can be cultivated into premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. It emphasizes growth and development, aligning with the idea that these outcomes come from the education and experiences provided by the program. Motivation is about desire, not capability; capacity can imply existing limits or resources; talent suggests innate ability, whereas the mission stresses developing what students can achieve, not just what they already have. So potential is the best fit.
