Community Analysis

The Rio Vista FFA Chapter means a lot to me. The officers, as well as the members, are like family and the organization is my life. I schedule my everyday activities around my FFA priorities and that does not faze me. I even have attended an FFA meeting over the phone when I was sick because I felt guilty for not being there in person. I love FFA one hundred percent because of how much I love my animals and get to be around them. Not only do I love it because it gives all of the more reason to tell people my animals come first but because of the additional things I get to be involved in. Being in all of the activities I have joined has changed my attitude toward hard work. FFA has showed me what priorities really are, what they mean, why a lot of things have to be put last, and the purpose of leadership, respect, and responsibility. The things I get to do in FFA helps me to realize that hard work will pay off and that it’s not all about livestock, fertile soil, crops, and leadership. The things I have done in FFA have not only made me a better person but also improved my skills and my self-confidence.

My favorite part of being a member was the conventions and leadership conferences. The conferences are upbeat and attention grabbing with great speakers. The first convention I attended I was amazed at the loud music, dancing and the awesome energy I felt. The enviroment gave me the feeling that this is where I belong and this is what I want to do as a career. The FFA motto is "Doing to learn, learning to do. Earning to live, living to serve". That means to learn new things and use them in everyday life. FFA also builds up the confidence in students and in their work through speaking events, making presentations, and helping the community.

In my school I have been very blessed to be able to participate in many different activities that have allowed me many opportunities. FFA is one activity that has brought me many skills and opportunities. I have been able to take a leadership role in our FFA chapter that has taught me alot. I have been able to serve as the chapter Treasurer (Junior year) and the chapter President (Senior year). Also I have been able to compete in FFA that has given me many of possibilities. FFA has taken me many place and taught me so much.

The Future Farms of America or the FFA is the extracurricular activity that has affected me the most in my high school years and my life thus far. Many people may think that the FFA is only an organization of farms that go around judging cows and grow plants but we are much more than that. Through FFA, I have been able to come out of my comfort zone, take a leadership position, and learn to give back to the community. Meeting new people through all the competition the FFA does and working with members in my chapter caused me to make new friends who slowly help me out of my comfort zone. I even gave a speech in front of my whole about how FFA can cause anyone to step out of their comfort zones leaping out of the zone myself in that moment. As

Throughout my life, I have worked hard to do well in school and get good grades. I am proud with what I have achieved, but I am still driven to try and do better. As of right now, I have a cumulative GPA of 3.98. I try to get decent grades not only to please my parents and teachers but to please myself and the colleges I plan on applying to next school year.

My community still faced hard times and this time it was more personal, with a death of a teammate. Still a heartbreaking experience and not easy at all, but my past experiences facing hardships helped me and my team. Now a senior in High School it is my opportunity to be the role model for all the students and families in my community. As I prepare for my last year in my hometown, I will use the experiences to lead me to the next journey and have a community that will take care of me, even when I am miles and miles

The first settlers came to Apex NC in the 1860s. Not too long after settlement, the town was incorporated in 1873. Most of the history of Apex is derived from the railroad system that went through the community. Even the town’s name can be traced by to the system. As the highest point along the railroad between Richmond, Virginia to Jacksonville, Florida, the town was named Apex.

On September 3, 2010, an episode of a show called Community was aired. During the episode one character, Jeff Winger, said, “The most important tool is respect,” and Senor Chang responded “Ha, gay!” After the episode aired, this clip blew up all over social media. The producers of the show probably didn’t consider the scene to be harmful, but it gave people the justification to use gay in a teasing manner. The word gay in this context means dumb or stupid, which implies that homosexually is “stupid,” and there lies the wrongness of the new meaning.

In May of 2010, R-E-A-D (Rejuvenating Excellence & Accomplishing Dreams) was established with the fundamental goals of challenging young women to strive for academic excellence as well as empowering them to assume leadership roles within their community. This journey began with my daughter's desire to leave an indelible imprint spiritually, scholastically and socially in every facet of life. Today after seven years of instilling the Gospel Creed: "Faith Without Works Is Dead", R-E-A-D has grown exponentially into an organization whose reputation precedes itself positively and constructively throughout Hampton Roads.

The community rotation was very challenging. At the beginning I thought I would be educating veterans about overall nutrition and referring them to nutrition programs designed to prevent disease and promote health. Nonetheless, it was a lot more than that. First of all, I had just finished my food service rotation and had no have the chance to interact with any patients. Thus, I had to learn quickly how to work with the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) which is the software used to enter patients’ information and write notes (Department of Veterans Affairs, 2005). After one day in my community rotation I was already seeing patients on my own and writing notes.

Belonging to a community is one of the greatest achievements an individual can look forward to. In a scholar community, there is always a way to contribute and be involved within the community itself.

I have a srong relationship with my community. I am a very ambitious and self motivated to make my community a better place. During my summer is spend a lot of time volunteering and doing community service in my town and reservation. I have spent many horse working with the elderly in my aria. I also amade part of a summer reading program that advocatesounds for children reading during the summer. Being accepted to the American Indian Museum Fellowship would allow me to bring back my gained knowlage back to my community. I have observed how few fluent speakers there are on our reservation and he knowlage of our traditional people is fading. I am devoted to making sure that I am able to learn and pass on as much knowlage to my community as

I believe that community is strong and powerful. “Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”- Howard Zimm. I came to believe in community because of the way the community I live in help me everyday. If anyone in my family is hurt or sick everyone in the community helps pitch in to make them feel better. One experience that proves this is when everyone in my family came down with a virus. The virus had my sister and parents shut down. They could barely move and I don’t want to talk about how much they coughed. But they really knew how to shout my name to go get stuff. “Wulwyn, can you get me water?”, “Wulwyn, get me some orange juice baby”, “If you don’t plug in my phone when I get well you’ll see what I will

I seek to create a reading rainbow classroom community. I believe the three most important characteristics and/or behaviors I strive to help develop are language and literacy development, Phonemic awareness, Reading comprehension, and vocabulary development. These characteristics are important because if a child has difficulty with language and literacy and the way he articulates his words when pronounced he may be lost in translation he may have just read the book but don’t have a clear understanding of what he or she truly may have just read. So, to prevent this helping or working with the child before he reaches elementary school age level will have a
