Everyone defines themselves differently. FFA allowed me to discover my own definition. I can now be defined by the way I act, talk and think. Leadership training, experiences, discipline, Career Development Events, and Proficiency are areas have all given me knowledge and skills to act professionally. Training seminars and speaking competitions have crafted my speaking skills and confidence. Some of these made me realize what’s important in life, what values to support and what dreams to embrace. My personal definition can also be related to the association that the FFA has created.
I was asked by many people, “What inspired me to be in FFA”, I would say I don’t know it seemed fun. After awhile I thought about it all the events I went to, all of the activities my chapter and I have done, and the good times we all had. Then I realized being in FFA means you have the ability to build character like being on time to meetings, and taking on responsibility on committees, earn respect from your community, gain leadership skills and make new friends. I wouldn’t be this far if it wasn’t for the help of my role model, a senior in my chapter, and my Advisor, with their encouragement and help, this speech wouldn’t have been done. FFA can help you in your career, too. For example I want to join the culinary arts, for what I know, I need to know how healthy my ingredients have been grown and what they should look like before I use them in the meals I cook, but it’s not just cooking it
