FFA Career Essay

Decent Essays
Just like a box of chocolates, life is full of surprises. Becoming a member of the Oklahoma FFA Organization has been one of the biggest and best boxes of chocolate I have opened in my entire life. As an 8th Grader, when I opened my first box of FFA chocolates, I had basic expectations for becoming an FFA member. I knew I would be getting a sweet surprise by joining the FFA but I had no idea I would be supplied with all the “fixin’s”. Throughout my FFA career I have encountered these additional ingredients, such as the nuts, who are the fun and crazy FFA members we meet and the memories we make. The fruit filling is putting effort into a CDE team and then doing well at a contest. The caramel is the total experience which binds all FFA

    Essay - To be honest, when I was in Middle School, I never knew much about the idea of FCCLA. I knew it was a part of the High School, if you wished to join; however, I did not know what being an FCCLA member meant. I was oblivious to the toilsome work and determination needed to acquire success and fulfillment within the organization, although I now see why it is held up to such a high standard, as it should be. Those who find themselves with enough dedication to push through the local events and into being a Region and State Competitor or officer, until they reach National qualification, are right to be held at a great regard. I may not remember many specifics of my life in the early days of being in FCCLA, but one thing I do remember…

    FFA is such an amazing organization and we feel that one of the things that makes it so great, is the diversity shown among members. While Artemy is certainly a unique individual, he is also similar to others in this organization in a sense that he is a devoted member, yet he invests himself in many activities outside of FFA. Whether you’re an aspiring farmer, biologist, writer, or veterinarian, FFA offers events that will allow you to not only showcase your skills, but improve them. By conducting this campaign, it would help the community view FFA as a diverse organization full of different individuals, all of whom offer the world different talents and…

During my high school years, I recall working in the fields during vacation breaks with my mother harvesting tomatoes, picking up cherries, and pruning grape vines. Fascinating as it sounds, I was always intrigued to understand why fruits and vegetables spoil or often cause food poising in humans. Although, when I questioned my mother why these fruits spoil, she responded it was due to "little bugs," which was not a sufficient response.…
