FBLA Personal Statement

FBLA membership has benefitted me because I can truly say it led me to my career choice. Junior year I had the opportunity to participate in the SBE Program at the Ste. Genevieve Care Center. By being a part of this program, I was required to join FBLA. Although FBLA was an organization I had wanted to join for a while, I needed a push to get involved in the club. Being involved in this club was one of the greatest decisions I have made during my high school career. My first year in the organization, I competed in the straight to state event, Social Media Campaign. Due to this participation, I attended the District Leadership Conference where I was a timekeeper and the State Leadership Conference, where my partner and I presented our project. The State Leadership Conference was a memorable event as it was different than any other conference I had attended before. That year I also served on multiple committees and assisted in the decorating of the Senior Citizen’s Christmas Dinner.

I did learn a lot from the classes. Every week, the person who delivered the speech would give really useful information. The lady Veronica from CCO gave us the tips on how to create our resume and what will be useful when you are having an interview. Although I am not going to get a job after graduation, I still got a lot of useful information.

Into business, Principals of Marketing, Web design, Team Activities I, and Intro. Into Building Techniques. I was so happy to take these classes because I really enjoyed them and they helped me significantly going into college.

Throughout my life, I have been a sedulous and efficient worker. I have earned these qualities with my difficult courses in school and my involvement in FBLA. My difficult course load and involvement in FBLA has given me the qualities sought out by NHS: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

I liked everything about this course. The seminars, study plans, and the weekly discussions help

In this day and age, less than 2% of people in the United States is involved in the production of food for the remaining 98% of citizens in the country. Among discussions occurring in the 2%, one common topic is a lack of education about agriculture in the general public. Prior to high school, I am ashamed to admit, but I was one of the people who would have answered that my milk came from a grocery store. As a project one year, I went to the grocery store and interviewed shoppers as to their knowledge about agriculture. Many of them had a similar belief as I once had, food starts at the grocery store. Upon my entrance into high school, I quickly became involved in the National FFA Organization. Many of my family members gave me crazy looks

2. Explain why you took this course and what you hope to learn from it.

I want to be an FBLA officer because I have an interest in business. I believe FBLA will help me discover my true potentials and preparing me for the real world. After participating in FBLA, I truly feel bussines could possibly be the career path that I’m going to take in my future. I love socializing with people and I would like to take responsibility in making this organization better. I would be a nice option for an officer because I do have leadership experiences in school and out of school.

A leader must be dedicated to serving their community, which is something that FBLA has forever instilled in me. In less than two years, I have completed over 300 hours of diverse community service. I am a competitive swim coach at my local YMCA, where I have the privilege of helping young athletes achieve their goals. I enthusiastically participate in my local chapter’s community service events, such as the law enforcement appreciation dinner, Community Service Day, and Wildcat Christmas.

My life has been a struggle at times, but my thrive to succeed, determination, and enthusiasm for my education and my community has brought me to pursue my dreams.

Out of all of the courses I have taken, Introduction to Business was my favorite. I continued to take business related subjects and get involved in business clubs. I also took advanced placement courses in Calculus and Statistics, which I believe will help me build my career in accountancy. This experience should put me ahead of other incoming freshman at Illinois State University. I have started getting exposure in the business field, by becoming a part of the Future Business Leaders of America club.

Up until recently, I was like many of my peers, uncertain about what the future would hold for me. I did not know where exactly I wanted to attend school, what I wanted to study, or what I wanted to do career-wise. But, after taking high school classes like Business Information Management, Human Resources, Banking and Financial Services, and Accounting I, I found my long awaited answer, a fascination in the business and financial world. I loved attending these classes and learning new and exciting

I am interested in attending FSLA because I want to be able to protect America as my future career. This country, although it is not perfect , has been a safe place for me and my family, and I want to improve upon and continue that path for all of the other citizens of this amazing country. I believe that my purpose in life is to save lives by keeping this country safe.

My interest in the FFA is more meaningful than just raising animals or going to LDE and CDE competitions that teach us life skills we will use in the future like public speaking yes those things are important to me but it is the people and family like atmosphere that make me love the FFA I could not see my life being complete without it.The FFA has shaped me to become the person I am today.A person that is not afraid to to stand up in front of hundreds of unknown people. A person who no matter the circumstances always tries to include everyone. A person who is a leader but also knows how to follow when necessary. Without the FFA or future farmers of america I don't see my life turning out the way it has.I would be incomplete lacking all

They were able to embed liberal arts educational experience into their business curriculum and were successful in doing so. By getting an education in liberal arts and sciences students are then able to make a transition to positions of leadership in American for –profit and non-profit organizations (Paris, 2017, p. 9). Non-profits are very similar to small businesses and having a business background as well would strength a student’s ability to successful fill the position within a nonprofit.
