FFA Recruitment Analysis

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.

At the end of my Junior year I was elected to be FFA Chapter President my Senior year, immediately we started having officer meetings to decide how we could best serve our members, school, and community. I started new community service projects such as getting a local farm to donate pumpkins to the FFA, the FFA members then helped the special education students paint the pumpkins for Halloween. I also started a project where the FFA chapter painted Christmas ornaments shaped like cows and donated them to the residents of the local nursing home. The chapter now plans to make these events that I implemented annual

That really meant a lot to me, so after I was elected I wanted to make sure I did everything right. One of my first challenges was actually deciding whether or not to go to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. Our FFA goes on that trip every other year. I went to the last National Convention my freshman year just for fun, but this year I felt that I had a duty to go along and be a leader for our chapter by being involved. The problem is, last year I was on the varsity volleyball team. National Convention was at the same time that regional volleyball games were starting. I didn’t know what to choose – the volleyball team that I loved and had been committed to for three months already, or the organization that chose me to be their leader? I really didn’t know what to do. I finally chose to go with the FFA to Indianapolis. It would give me a chance to practice my leadership skills and get to know our FFA chapter better. I still felt like I was letting my team and coach down, but I felt more committed to FFA.

I am a very hard working, and independent women who has had to go through a lot of tough situations to be where I am today and I am very proud of that. From having to go through rough patches in my life, it has turned me into the type of person who likes to help others when they are struggling in their life as well or just to be a kind human being. I am highly involved in clubs in my school, such as FCCLA, FBLA, Interact, Spanish club, Spirit club, and I was a member of FFA for a year and half because I love the community involvement that they all seek out. I am also currently a certified lifeguard at the Butler Aquatic Center and have been going on three years now. Being able to lifeguard lets me have the interaction with people that I enjoy

Fredrickson, stated that leadership is a lifestyle. Initially, I did not think much of this. However, as I continued through my freshman year, I slowly realized the truth in that statement. My classmates looked to me for someone to follow. My teachers held me to a higher standard as a leader, and the administration saw me as an effective student body representative. I began to take a bigger role in school, especially as an interviewer for the superintendent and assistant principal positions. I also pushed to new levels of leadership in student council. As a sophomore, I became the Central Division Delegate-at-Large with the help of my advisor and fellow council members. All of these experiences gave me more lessons in leadership and responsibility and taught me many life skills, including the ability to compromise, speak in public, and make new friends and

Although I am proud of many of my leadership experiences, none surpass the times when my leadership makes a meaningful change in someone’s life. Eight someones, actually, as is the case with the project I lead in a group called “Teens with Wings”. I am not a president or vice president of the club, however, I believe I exhibited the traits needed to reach our goal of providing Christmas gifts to parents who didn’t have the means to buy their children any presents. As someone who grew up in a single-parent household that was financially sufficing, I was especially eager to head this program and alleviate another family’s struggles. My role was to organize a fundraiser to provide money to buy the gifts and then organize the gift purchasing and

Ever since I was little, I knew that I was meant to be a leader. Whether it be for group projects in school or a church camp for little children, I always found comfort in leading a group and being a role model for my peers. In my summer of going into 10th grade, I was offered the opportunity to be a group leader for a Vacation Bible School at the Palm Desert Presbyterian Church. I jumped at the chance to be a leader for youth, because I love being a positive influence and I’m very skilled with working with kids. As a group leader, I was privileged with explaining to the kids what the Christian Faith means, as well as doing fun activities with them such as arts and crafts. Also, as a leader I was responsible for any questions the children might

Senior Ali Cronin took up field hockey in second grade. Next year she’s headed to Division I Georgetown. Despite being a junior, Sammy Steele has already committed to playing ice hockey at Arizona State University. Steele loved hockey the moment he began. HHS Athletic Director Scott Govern’s love of football took him to Lock Haven University. For all of these athletes, the love of the game set them on the path to college athletics.

When I was stationed with the Marine Expeditionary Unit in Japan we had a mission in which we needed to be rapidly deployable within 24 hours. Do to the expedited nature in which we needed to be deployed we spent many days and weeks rehearsing rapid response. We additionally conducted several real world deployments that were conducted successfully due to our drills in rapid response. Within this unit I can attribute our success to the Executive Officer within the organization that was a Lean Six Sigma expert. He used to have the company lay out the individual data as to how fast we moved to deployment ready. At first, it appeared to the casual observer that the slowest unit needed the most help. However, as I now understand due to statistic class, that was not always the case. This is where statistical process control (SPC) has helped me greater understand what he was accomplishing. SPC is the process used to “improve the quality of a process” (text 251). A unit that would appear to be slow, as

Through various officer positions in the FFA, both at the chapter and district level, I have gained leadership experience and developed myself personally. In the fall, due to unfortunate events, our chapter was left without an adviser for a couple months leaving us with no coach for the Apple Judging competitions. I took it upon myself to organize practices with industry professionals to coach our team. Leadership skills gained from FFA have highlighted me as a leader within our community leading to me being chosen to mentor at risk sophomores with their academics and personal

In recruitment advertising is the means by which job opportunities are made known to the public through the use of media, local and national newspapers, notice boards and recruitment fairs. Advertising is a form of communication for marketing and is used to encourage, persuade or manipulate an audience to continue or take some new action.
