Jessica Walker Boehm T Check out these tips, inspired by the FFA motto, and make the most of your time before heading back to the classroom. What do the letters FFA stand for? The more and more I learn and become involved, the more I want to do. I have taken on the role of Historian for my home chapter, Mapleton FFA, joined the junior fair board, became the treasurer for my 4-h club, Savannah Hardworkers, and a part of the band officer team.
Going to state convention, hearing the state officers speak. Everything they said I took to heart. From what they said, I wanted to be like them. I wanted to be a better person.
Ever since 7th grade my mind was set on what I wanted to be when I grew up. FFA members rise to the challenge of service embracing members of all walks of life united through FFA. We Are FFA. FFA chapter may be chartered in any public school with an agricultural education program. FFA is an organization made up of state associations; those state associations are made up of local chapters. State FFA Associations function within the constitution of the National FFA Organization but may also create individual leadership structures, awards, programs and competitions.
At the national level, FFA is led by a board of directors and six student national officers. The National FFA Organization is a resource and support organization that does not select, control or supervise state association, local chapter or individual member activities. During my time in FFA, I have participated in many events from soil judging, to volunteering at many community service events. Through these activities, I have found a love for doing CDE competitions like soil judging because this is something I never thought I would do.
Other activities I have liked doing are community service activities like Bags of Hope, Pork Festival, and unloading the food truck at the Food Pantry. I have enjoyed these because I love giving back to the community that supports us. In FFA, I have been an officer for two years. One of the best things about being an officer is I get to motivate underclassmen in our chapter and help them see all of the great things I see in FFA.
FFA to young people today is the opportunity to find new things about yourself. Every year in February, we hold an 8th grade recruitment for all eighth graders that will be entering high school the next year to encourage them to take agriculture classes in high school.
During our recruitment day, our officers and committee members come down to our shops and explain each class you can take, as well as teach about everything you can do in FFA. It is working my hardest every day to be sure that I am bettering myself, my community, and those around me. The FFA organization means pursuing all of your goals and working with persistence to achieve your goals.
The organization as a whole promotes so many amazing things. It encourages all members to go out and try something new, it works to push you outside of your comfort zone and allows you to gain new experiences that further develop you as a young adult. The FFA organization is developing some of the greatest young minds in our nation and will continue to do so throughout many years.
We are the largest youth organization in the United States, which just shows how impactful the FFA is on a global scale. We are the future. We are the FFA. It means that I will do my best to be a productive citizen and to use all of my power to improve our world and make it the best it can be.
