After being the subject of a newspaper profile, FFA State President Dipak Kumar, who graduated from Tulare Western High School earlier this week, sent this thank you email. Kumar was also the Senior class president, played in the school's varsity basketball team and maintained a 4.40 GPA. He also won the Advance-Register award given annually to the top FFA student.

Here's his message:

Dear Mr. Hernandez,

Thank you for that wonderful article you wrote about my upcoming experience serving as the California State FFA President. You captured my experience and sentiments strongly, and I appreciate your words! I hope I can do your work justice through my year of service.

Sincerely,

Dipak Kumar
