It helps to build a positive relationship with those that are within your team, as well as showing that there is support for one another within the structure.

This led to a homegrown farmer becoming the supervisor of Agriculture Education and set out to fix this problem, Walter Newman. With the help of Edmund C, Magill, Harry W.

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization is one of the best ways that I believe I have taken advantage of education. Because of my involvement in the FFA I have traveled to a lot of different universities and have competed in competitions. The type of competitions I would never involved in are cooperative marketing and tree pruning. By being apart of these teams I have learned more about farming and marketing then I ever thought I would. The biggest learning experience I have had with this organization was when I attended the state conference in Fresno, which is where I learn about the entire agricultural community in California, leadership, and it is also where I had met the national president and secretary of the FFA organization.

Starting at the end of the school day, the student would either walk, bike, or drive to the Future Foundation club building. There, they would spend an hour receiving assistance on homework or studying topics learned at school. After that period is over, the next is spent learning English. Finally, students have half an hour of free time to socialize before their day at the club is over. This final thirty minutes is occasionally occupied with a game or group activity. In this social period, students are able to find peers they can truly relate to, as well as the possibility of learning more about other cultures or having the chance to share their own.
One of the biggest movements that is beginning to be implemented in many college campuses is that of the First Year Experience (FYE) program. Orientation can go only so far in making these first year students feel connected. Many institutions now build into the curriculum first-year seminars or other programs that bring small groups of students together with faculty or staff on a regular basis. These programs bring together aspects of both the academic and student affairs worlds. First Year Experience programs vary from campus to campus, but many of the characteristics that each share are tied to the common goal of helping those new freshmen feel at home and better adjusted to the expectations that are associated with being a college student.
