The Importance Of The FFA
Learning to do, Doing to learn, Living to serve. This is the FFA motto which
I have lived my life by for the last four years. FFA has taught me that winning is not the most important thing in life. The FFA has taught me life lessons on communication, teamwork, and citizenship.
Developing communication skills is a key part in the road to success. When I was freshman, our FFA attended a leadership camp which all the district Officers conduct. At these camps I sat in a room while they explain what life is all about. They explained the good things and the way you can make your life better. FFA has brought on a whole new chapter in my life of healthy choices. I participated in teamwork events where I depended on total strangers to pull together
to win. I now understand communication is a key point in the road to success. Throughout life, we make choices, choices that define who we are as individuals. One choice that has defined me as an individual is the choice to join the FFA. Throughout the past six years, the FFA has effectively made me the individual that I am today. The FFA’s focuses of premier leadership, personal growth and career success, prepared me for the future. To me, the FFA is more than just an organization – it is a part of me that continually affects my future. The FFA has defined me, networked me and prepared me for the future of my choice.
Everyone defines themselves differently. The FFA allowed me to discover my own definition. I can now be defined by the way I act, talk and think. Leadership training, experiences, positions, Career Development Events and Proficiency areas have all given me knowledge and skills to act professionally. Training seminars and speaking obligations crafted my speaking skills and confidence. Time away from home, which effectively took me out of my comfort zone, enabled me to realize what’s important in life, what values to uphold and what dreams to embrace. My personal definition can also be linked to the network that the FFA has created.
