Ffa Student Organization

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.

The National FFA Organization, formerly known as Future Farmers of America (FFA) is an organization that is allows for all students in high school to be a part of an organization that strives to do better in the agriculture industry. Students of all races and ethnicities are a part of the FFA and that was made possible do to the changes that our country has made in an effort to end segregation and other ethnic issues.

Can you believe that the National FFA Organization (Future Farmers of America) has over 400,000 members and growing in the United States, Guam, Puerto Rico, and The Virgin Islands? The FFA is a National Organization devoted to teaching and introducing students to agricultural education. It has introduced a large impact on students, changed their views on agriculture, and given them the chances to carry them out.

Harrisburg FFA began in 1969 and continues to arise as an opportunity given to students at Harrisburg High School. When people hear someone talking about FFA they assume that it is all about farming hence the original meaning of the acronym, Future Farmers of America. When asked how he has seen FFA change throughout the years, Mr. Marks who is a teacher at HHS and longtime FFA Advisor stated, “It has changed from all boys who lived on farms and we taught mostly production agricultural topics like crops and livestock. Today, our membership is 95% non-farm students and courses have changed to more leadership, food processing, landscaping and companion animal topics.” The Harrisburg FFA program not only allows students new and exciting experiences

These opportunities include her visit to the National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) Conference this fall where she could meet other Agricultural Communication students from other schools. At the conference, she made career connections and could apply for scholarships. She credits AEC for introducing her to the applications to apply for scholarships and to be able to attend the conference.

Despite only being in junior high, Burger did not mind stepping up to help with the leadership of the newly formed Groom FFA chapter. Ag and FFA both had about a 13 year silence at Groom School, with this being the first year for students to be active in this programs since 2002.

It all started when my ag teacher asked me why I wasn’t in any of his ag classes. I couldn’t think of any excuse, so I decided to join Harper FFA. At first I was doing small and simple welds, but soon I was taking over big projects. My ag teacher had me building trailers, bbq pits, feeders, and pretty much everything. I was working

Without the National FFA Organization, I would not be the leader that I have proudly become. I would be an average student, who only sits in class, rather than approaching various opportunities to impact my school and community. Without the FFA, I would not have achieved so much for my humble community. I would not have initiated a soft skills based mentoring program for middle school students. I would not have organized economic development activities in my town like the annual Amazing Race. Most importantly, I would not have discovered my sincere passion in the agriculture industry. Thanks to the National FFA Organization, I have become a leader, an organizer, an achiever, a speaker, and most significantly an advocate for agricultural literacy

I attended the tour of the TCNJ campus on November 5th and spoke with you about the FASFA. My question was, does the FASFA cover the five year plan for the education majors? I remember you saying you received this question multiple times throughout the day and was curious as to if you researched the answer. The campus was beautiful and I truly enjoyed it therefore, I was hoping to obtain this helpful information.

These were just some of the remarks I’ve received throughout the years in regards to my involvement with the organization known as 4-H. And the truth is, if you were to ask me 7 years ago, I would have said the same thing- well, I should rephrase that... If you were to ask me 7 years ago, I probably would have stood there red-faced and said practically nothing at all.

ALPFA is more than just a student organization, it is a community centered around developing individuals of different backgrounds into professionals that will shape the course of business. The people that I have met through ALPFA have become some of the closest friends that I have, to the point that I consider most them as a second family. It provides a network of kind and diverse individuals who are there mentor the new generations to be able to enter the workforce.One such example, is Lori Ruff, an enthusiastic individual and the SVP of Membership for ALPFA, whom I have had the pleasure to work with and learn from, as well as sought advice from once during a difficult situation. Other notable examples include: Alan Colberg the CEO of Assurant,

A club I am interested in joining is Financial aid club. Becoming a member of this club would help me throughout my entire life. This club can even help me pay for college. The club information states, "Financial aid helps students and their families pay for college. This financial assistance helps cover educational expenses and related costs." This club will really help me get a hold of reality and I will never not need the information I would receive from joining this
