<blockquote>
<p>Between serving as FFA chapter president, Associated Student Body  president, taking honors classes, playing varsity sports and raising  pigs, the 18-year-old lifelong Whatcom County resident didn't have much  down time.</p>
<p>And Strachila, who graduated from Mount Baker on  Wednesday, June 8, likely won't be sleeping much the next year, either.  Starting this summer, he will spend a year working as the state vice  president of FFA, a national organization that promotes students  following their agricultural dreams, whether it's through business,  science, art or the actual acts of growing plants and raising produce.</p>
<p>As vice president, Strachila will work on state and national FFA issues,  as well as travel to FFA chapters around the state, helping to teach  lessons and promote the organization.</p>
