My experience in FFA has shaped part of my high school career through competitions, events, and awards. I have received many awards through FFA that would be important to include on an application. Starting as a freshman I received multiple awards in FFA. I first received my greenhand degree, and most recently I have received my chapter FFA degree.

Creed speaking taught me how to recite the FFA creed in front of a panel of judges, expressing it clearly and with motion. Parliamentary procedure taught me how to conduct a business meeting and properly discuss items of business. Poultry and foods both taught me new informations about the food system and poultry in the United States. Prepared public speaking has given me public speaking and interview skills. These events have played part in preparing me for college. I have included each event on my college application because they show more about my personal

According to George Washington, “The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitutions of government.” Replace ‘people’ with ‘students’ and this becomes a powerful declaration about the politics within the organization of the California Future Farmers of America (FFA). As with any political arena the FFA is an organization where power bases and allies are developed; however, it is the students who define those relationships.

When I first did the vet science CDE, I was pretty set that I wanted to be a veterinarian, but by doing the contest I was able to learn more about the job, and that it just wasn't the career for me.
