Life handed me lemons, but I could not make lemonade. May of 2016 I decided to go with a Black Angus heifer who was not people friendly. This heifer was beyond ready to kill me or one of my siblings. Once we realized she was too crazy, we took her back and went the complete opposite direction. I was so excited to bring home eight hundred pound Princess Belle the Charolais heifer. Within a few short days Belle was walking on a halter, cleaning up eight pounds twice a day,

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

Case 37.5: Duty of Loyalty. Edward Hellenbrand ran a comedy club known as the Comedy Cottage in Rosemont, Illinois. The business was incorporated, with Hellenbrand and his wife as the corporation’s sole shareholders. The corporation leased the premises in which the club was located. Hellenbrand hired Jay Berk as general manager of the club. Two years later, Berk was made vice present of the corporation and given 10 percent of its stock. Hellenbrand experienced health problems, and moved to Nevada, leaving Berk to manage the daily affaires of the business. Four years later, the ownership of the building where the Comedy Cottage was located changed hands. Shortly thereafter, the club’s lease on the premises expired. Hellenbrand instructed Berk to negotiate a new lease. Berk arranged a month-to-month lease, but had the lease agreement drawn up in his name instead of the corporation. When Hellenbrand learned of Berk’s move, he fired him. Berk continued to lease the building in his own name, and opened his own club, the Comedy Company, Inc., there. Hellenbrand sued Berk for an injunction to prevent Berk from leasing the building. Comedy Cottage, Inc. v. Berk, 145 III.App.3d 355, 495 N.E.2d 1006, Web 1986 III.App.Lexis 2486 (Appellate Court of Illinois).

The interactions I had with the beautiful animals fostered a fascination that would stay with me for years. Despite this passion, I was never able to ride or own a horse because of the expenses and attention they require. But at the age of twelve my dad signed me up to volunteer at HETRA, giving me the incredible opportunity to work closely with the animals I loved so much. Although I was concerned about jumping into something that I had never done before, I soon found my confidence. The volunteers and instructors made me feel welcome and helped me learn the all of the procedures.

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

Encouraging and inspiring young minds have always been one of my favorite activities. In the past 4 years, I have had the opportunity to influence and teach new and upcoming FFA members. Such a contingency has been a responsibility not taken lightly by myself. Not only have I been teaching, I have. been learning alongside them. These young adults have taught me how to be a better leader and educator.

It fills me with great pride to say that I have finished my first semester of college--with a 3.5 GPA nonetheless--due to your continued generosity.

Being able to say that I have completed my first semester of college is not as far-fetched as I once thought. Thank you for making this dream a reality.

I’ve been part of the Fillmore Central FFA Chapter for 6 years. Since then I have participated in many CDEs including Dairy Judging and Dairy Foods. I have also held many officer positions, such as Reporter, Treasurer, Vice President, and President. FFA has taught me leadership and dedication. In order to be successful in life you must give your all toward everything you do. Without dedication today's agriculture and other industries wouldn’t be possible. Leadership propels organizations forward and creates new possibilities

The beginning of my freshman year of high school I realized that unless I got a job right after I turned 16 I wouldn’t be able to pay for college so I needed to start making steps in the right direction now. I started working at McDonald’s my sophomore year of high school four months after I turned 16 and continued to work there until I graduated from Polk Collegiate High School. A friend told me about Polk Collegiate High School the beginning of my sophomore year and I knew that it would be the best financial choice that I could make at the moment. I spent the last two years of my

I grew up in a small farming town and I had no idea about agriculture or leadership. I have been in the FFA since the seventh grade and fell in love with it right away. The FFA helped me get a better view of how important the ag experience is for young students across the United States. Going to local or state contest, helping with the community, and helping out FFA Chapter grow over the past years was something i wanted to do. Waking up in the morning at five a.m for football practice was terrible, but waking up at five to go to an FFA event was a different feeling. I want to continue in some way my FFA experience when I leave for college. I believe I would be a good recipient of this FFA Scholarship because it is a passion I have had

When I walked into my first FFA meeting in 7th grade, I never knew how much of an impact that organization would have on my life. The National Future Farmers of America Organization was the last thing I thought I would be interested in because I had no desire to be a farmer; but, the club meetings got me out of class which was all that mattered to me at the time. I was in FFA every year, yet I never realized the opportunities that came with being involved until the end of my sophomore year when Mr. Johnson, my agrotechnology teacher, talked me into screening for the officer team. Even though I knew only very little about agriculture, and even less about FFA, I somehow made the team and started my journey as an FFA officer and discovered my passion for agriculture.

If given the opportunity to study for my profession without financial concerns, I would not disappoint. I will use the funds for my college expenses towards my future therapeutic ranch. The impact of this scholarship will allow me to begin my ranch not for myself, but the many children in need of a haven to call their

Life handed me lemons, but I could not make lemonade. May of 2016 I decided to go with a Black Angus heifer who was not people friendly. This heifer was beyond ready to kill me or one of my siblings.

Within a few short days Belle was walking on a halter, cleaning up eight pounds twice a day, and got to memorizing her new routine. We had many goals to meet for our first show and we weren’t letting anything stop us. August rolled around and that meant school was starting, cheering on the sidelines, and our first show was only a few weeks away. Pushing harder and

Thank you for choosing me as the recipient of the Smith-Cotton Soccer Booster Club Scholarship. I am honored and grateful to have been chosen and these funds will be very beneficial in assisting me with my financial needs as I begin college. I also want to thank the Soccer Boosters for their continuous support of the soccer team. From managing the concessions to the Black and Gold Scrimmage Game, the End of the Season Banquet, the sack lunches, and the gear that you provide-- these are just a few of the things that make the Soccer Booster Club the best booster club in the school. Playing soccer for Smith-Cotton will always be one of the best memories of my high school years and I am privileged to have been a part
