Wyett Hilburn is the son of Brenda and Jason Hilburn. Throughout high school he was involved in FFA and working. His future plans are to eventually run his own mechanic business. His best memory was going to the FFA National Convention. Teachers he’d like to thank is, “Mrs. Long and Mrs. Austin, they have always helped when I needed it and taught me to keep on trying even when I wanna quit.” His biggest achievement from high school was passing all his classes. If he goes to his ten year reunion he hopes to have accomplished having his own place and his dream job. What he’ll miss is FFA and doing all the events with his friends. If he could change something from freshman year he would’ve changed the attitude he had and would’ve gotten involved more. His advice to a younger student is, “Just have to keep on trying even when it gets hard and you want to stop.”
