The Real Life Story of a Teen Mom/Kylie&Mason

This week is National FFA Week so I thought it would be the perfect time to write about FFA and everything it has done for me.  What I have taken away from FFA isn't all of my medals, plaques, and certificates but the life skills that I have gained from being in such a rewarding organization.  From FFA I have learned.... Speaking skills- From FFA Leadership Skills Events (LSE's) I have learned how to speak in front of a crowd.  If it wasn't for FFA I wouldn't have the courage or knowledge to pursue my dream of talking to kids.  This is not just a skill that can win me a medal but a skill that will benefit me for the rest of my life.
