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.
Interview skills-FFA has prepared me for so many job interviews. From past FFA officer interviews and SAE interviews, I can now walk into job interviews confident. I also walk in confident that if they ask me which kitchen utensil I would be and why...I could answer it. Only Ainsworth FFA Chapter members would get that, and by the way, I would be a spoon.
People skills- From all of the FFA camps, competitions, and activities I have learned people skills. I have learned how to walk into a room full of complete strangers and make friends. I have met so many great people through FFA and from that I have made so many great memories.
Leadership skills-FFA taught me to be a leader. You quickly learn that when you put on that blue and gold jacket you are held to a higher set of standards. You are representing an organization that people respect and look up to. FFA teaches you how to be a great role model.
This is only the beginning of the list of things I have taken away from FFA. I will forever hold FFA close to my heart and be grateful for those experiences. Happy National FFA Week!
