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.

FBLA is a very important organization to Otterville High School. We have 67 members out of the 77 kids in the High School. FBLA stands for Future Business Leaders of America. They are divided into schools, districts, states, then countries. We have schools from all of the United State like Puerto Rico, Florida, California, New York, and even some people come from China.

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

As a senior in high school, I have been questioned about where I am going to school and what degree I plan on getting. Up until about November of 2015, I was very indecisive. I was torn between a career in healthcare and what I knew I was passionate about. I wanted to be a teacher. I have taken health care classes since my freshman year of high school.

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.

I am extremely honored to be among the remarkable students who are being considered for National Honor Society.

I haven’t done much in the club so far, but there are multiple opportunities for me to get involved in the future. I already met so many new friends through this club and I can tell these people will be my friends until the day we graduate from college. By going to some of the Collegiate FFA/Ag.

My philosophy in life is I have no special talents but I am only passionately curious quoted by Albert Einstein. I found my purpose in life and what I’m truly passionate in through my experience in college. Through the resources here at Western Illinois University, such as the career development center, I have found an idea of what specific field of social work I would like to go in. I begin interested in Veterans Affairs but, due to some research I might find myself close to working in the field of adolescents with disabilities. With that being said, an agency I would want to work for would be one in Chicago, Ill.

Thanks to The National FFA Organization's Instagram post on “You know you’re an FFA member when...” When I wrote this article there had been 607 comments from members, alumni, and advisors.
