Importance Of FFA

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 has six areas of focus related to premier leadership. The six areas are action, relationships, vison, character, awareness and continuous improvement. My goal as a teacher is to hit all of these areas throughout a student’s agriculture education experience. I hope to help students become the leaders they are capable of becoming. I will also will be working a lot with my officer team. They are the students leading the FFA and I believe they are also the students, in many cases, leading the school.

The FFA is definetly one of the younger organizations in the U.S. But, throughout the last ten years, it has delivered a tremendous impact to students, teachers, and the nation along with it’s future.

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

FFA. Future Farmers of America. These four words mean more than cows and plows. It's leadership skills. It's growing as an individual. It's becoming the person you thought wouldn't come of yourself. When you see the national blue and corn gold, (the official colors of FFA) you feel a sense of being welcomed. This organization is not just a group of farm kids that wear jeans and boots

The California Future Farmers of America (FFA) is an organization “committed to the individual student, [by] providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education (“National FFA Organization, 2016). These goals are the driving force behind the California FFA as they reveal their most important assets: people and relationships. The structure of the California FFA is extremely organized, operating like an efficient machine, the key components of this student-run organization are their complex combination of vertical and lateral structuring, as well as their philosophy to create a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their leadership skills.

Every part of FFA has a fundamental exercise. The association can show youthful individuals assorted variety, advertising, and essential relational abilities. Although there are numerous misguided judgments about FFA, it is essential to recognize the valuable components of the affiliation.

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

The motto of the federal agency, Department of Health and Human Services, elaborates its core responsibilities in a nutshell.

According to the National FFA organization the mission is “FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.” I believe the FFA has achieved their goal, FFA has made a positive difference in my life. To me FFA is like a family, that is always there for me and pushes me to do better. I have made friendships that are going to last forever.

Being involved in an agricultural background has given me an edge in school because it has taught me how to study intensely and never give up. As I helped with raising livestock and growing vegetables, my interest in FFA grew. Involvement in FFA helped develop my communication and problem solving skills. Farming traditions, such as living skills, has provided me with individual commitment and diversity.

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.

Why FFA? Why Ag? Everyone has their own opinions on FFA or taking a Ag class. I feel my opinion matters, so why not share it with you! I began taking Ag in my 10th grade year of High School. I never thought i would enjoy or want to be known as an FFA member but that all changed soon i stepped foot into the Ag room. I honestly had always thought being an FFA member was stupid and pointless, but Mrs.Morgan (my Ag teacher) changed my mind.

TFA aims at bringing equality in the American education system. I want to join TFA because I have the passion for kids. I personally believe that I share a common ambition with TFA, and being a part of TFA family is a major opportunity for career development . This is because I am a person who advocates for equality among kids irrespective of their race, tribe, sex and their religious background. Therefore, joining TFA will create a major opportunity for me to meet my dream of helping kids achieve their goals in life.

In the years of 2016-2017 my first last semester of junior year with my WBL supervisor Bryant Oliver, Advisor of the FFA I learn many things I enjoy learning to prepare myself for real life. Things I learn are: typing up top sheets, requisition forms, FFA roster and typing purchase orders on the type writer to be sent to the Board of Education. Then the papers I type I print, then
