In junior high I was a shy kid, I didn't go out of my way to talk to people, I didn't hang out with friends, and I would have rather had to write a 3 page essay than give a presentation in front of my class of only 15 people. Doing Sports and FFA in high school changed all of that for me. First it was Volleyball, because in Volleyball if you don't have communication you have nothing. It forced me to talk to my teammates.. Not only was I forced to communicate by the nature of the game but by my will to get better. I was constantly asking my teammates and my coach how I could improve and it caused me to have more confidence talking to them outside of Volleyball. Throughout the years it has continuously helped me be able to communicate and achieve …show more content…
I learned how to teach people things. If you've never done that before, let me tell you it's an empowering feeling. I learned about hard work. Through FFA i’ve learned how hard you have to work to do the things you want to do. I've helped fund raise the money to go on all of the FFA trips we have went on, as well as mentally challenged myself by individually planning, organizing and overseeing fund raisers. After joining FFA I joined track. Track has taught me so much about hard work as well, because for me track is something I’ve had to work at. I'm a six boot tall clumsy girl so in order to go fast I first had to figure out how to get all of my body parts headed in the same direction. My favorite race is the 400 meter dash, which most people don't enjoy because it's a super long sprint. I've worked really hard at it the past three years and i just keep improving at it. My sophomore year at one of my meets I improved my 400 time by 5 seconds! and if you have ever ran track you would know that's actually quite a bit. after that it changed my whole perspective of life. It taught me that I can do anything that I set my mind
Participating in sports has taught me to be responsible for my own actions. Whenever I fail I move on and keep on trying. I’ve struggled but in the end I overcame most of the obstacles I faced.( I learn from my my mistakes )Flag football has taught me to become a leader, however, track and field taught me
My involvement in the FFA has given me many opportunities for service including being involved in the Farm Bureau's Farm Field Days in Utah County at Harward Farms where the local FFA chapters help teach second graders about agriculture. At Snow College with the Agriculture Club that hosts the FFA Field, club members help FFA Advisors with directing a mock Career Development Events contest for students. For my Human Development and Into to Education classes I helped students in a Sixth Grade class at Mt. Pleasant Elementary with Math and Science questions they had during class time.
FFA is a program that I can express who I really am and not be ashamed or embarrassed or before even judged. FFA made me begin to realize that I can help my community and make it great. I would always get all these ideas to do servicing learning. I have this awesome idea of doing Earth Week. It is the week of 18th to 22nd and all week is activities related to earth. I plan to be fundraising all week so we may have a great start to paying for Africa. My goal is to get $12,500 and I believe I will reach my goal and nothing may get in the way. The trip cost five thousand dollars and once we are done fundraising for the week, I plan to split it with everyone who is going to Africa. Now you may be asking what as this improved me as a person? Well, I have so many ideas for people to get involved with the community even if they are not in FFA and make a team and make the goal happen. All because of FFA, I stopped having a fear of public speaking. I would just avoid going up in front of the group of people. FFA gave me the skill to teach kids
Jesus raised the standard of the Mosaic Laws in the Sermon of the Mount by supporting it with further guidelines to help guide the community. While Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 28 warned the followers of God to not do certain things or else you get certain punishments, Matthew 5-7 gives out a more peaceful set of codes to follow. Codes such as to from Matthew 5. spread your teachings to others, to not commit murder, an d to reconcile with your brothers and sisters quickly. Love your enemies and to not seek revenge or commit adultery. Matthew 6 tells Gods follows to not do big actions and to be praise. Lastly, Matthew 7 explains that one should respect others and to not be judgmental. To give good gifts and follow Gods teachings. To treat others the way you want to be treated.
When I was in 3rd grade I begged my mom to sign me up for cheerleading. I had always pictured myself on the sideline of a football game. Except, that wasn't exactly what I signed up for. Actually, it wasn't even close My mom signed me up for a team named Rocket Cheer. A team that did not cheer on the sidelines at football games but instead competed in competitions nationwide throughout the whole year.This has been more than just a sport to me. Rocket Cheer has taught me commitment as well as time management, the true meaning of family, how to not give up on any goal, and taught me to be me.
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
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.
Coming into high school, I was very involved in an organization called FFA(Future Farmers of America). Freshman year I was a “Greenhand” officer and competed in many different events. That same year I attended a speech contest and qualified for finals. I was also involved in choir for the first three years of my high school career and was able to have the opportunity to go to contest four times, in which each time I was able to pull off a high score. In my near future, I hope to attend Southwestern college and earn my teaching degree in early childhood education.
The first thing I did this summer was go on a trip to Washington D.C. with the FFA. It was an awesome experience. I was able to see most of the monuments and some museums. You could live in Washington D.C. your whole life and still not see everything there. While I was there I was able to meet so many awesome people from all over the U.S. I made so many friends that I still keep in touch with today. I’ve been able to do so many things within the FFA
In my first year as a Freshman FFA member I had no idea what to expect in the FFA, yet I was challenged and excited to participate because I saw how much the organization had changed my brother. I was driven to be the first one to say the FFA creed to my advisor on the first day of school, and who knew this personal drive was just the beginning of my FFA career and the endless opportunities provided to me in the past three years. As a freshman I was elected a Greenhand officer and was able to attend my first National FFA Convention. I was taken under my brother’s wing, and he was able to show me the pathways and his passion for the FFA, thus I began to love the organization more and more as the year progressed. My Freshman year I tried out
Considering I don’t have many chances outside of school to do service, FBLA has given me the opportunity to give back to my community. I have helped FBLA with mum orders and Krispy Kreme orders. In helping with these order I helped unload, count, and distribute orders. Helping with these orders I learned to work well with other people. Helping to unload the mums is the best example of this. As other students and I unloaded the mums we came up with a system similar to how a conveyer belt would work. One person would take the mum off the cart, hand it to the next student in line, so on and so worth until it got to the last student who would put the mum on the table. This system was efficient because we got done unloading the orders faster than previous years. Along with FBLA giving me the opportunity to give back to the community, it has helped me become a better leader. FBLA gave me the chance to attend the Region Leadership Workshop. The Region Leadership Workshop taught be how to be a superior leader in the business world which could translate to school. FBLA has played an enormous role in developing my character.
The book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a fictional novel set in the mid 1930’s of Alabama. Social inequality and various forms of discrimination is widespread through Maycomb County affecting the black population and women. This society is segregated, racist, biased, and dominated by the white male.
Computerized physician order entry (CPOE) has been indicated to lower needless, possible adverse occurrences. Even with this substantiation, less than 5 percent of U.S. hospitals engage in completely put into practice this systems (Cutler, Naomi E. Feldman and Jill R. Horwitz, Feldman and Jill R. Horwitz, & Horwitz, 2017). Over the years, there are studies which demonstrates that processing prescriptions through computerized provider order entry can cut drug mistakes in half and also avoid more than 17 million adverse incidents annually (Miliard, 2013). The researchers then combined this information with data on CPOE adoption and the volume of annual medication orders. The results estimated the reduction in drug errors for one year – and
The most significant challenge I have faced was balancing my academics and sports. I have been involved in the boy's soccer program at Palm Desert High School since my freshman year and each season has proven to be a test for me academically. I must say that attempting to balance my school work and soccer during my freshman and sophomore year has taken a toll on my academic achievement. It is unfortunate, however, I learned many things that will benefit me in the future. It was difficult because stress and anxiety amounted on top of all the school work and assignments that needed to be completed with the little time I had in my hands. Each season lasted around four months and during those four months, I accumulated bad habits. I procrastinated
The experiences of failing and trying again provide a learning process that can translate to greater achievement in school. “A controlled longitudinal study found that adolescents who participated in sports showed improved grade point averages, had increased attachment to school, and were more likely to attend college” (Larson, Reed, and Sean Seepersad). The persistence children learn while playing sports will carry on in other parts of life, such as learning in school, leading to continual success. While playing basketball, I began to grow more mentally and socially. I stayed more active in the games and reacted faster; I would be ready to block a sudden dash to our hoop. In other activities, such as math, I began solving equations quicker and was more focused. Also, as a child I was a quiet and shy. When playing the game, I could not just stand back; I had to get into the action by challenging the ball or trying to get a pass. As my confidence developed, I became more bold and outgoing in other parts of my life.
