The most important aspect being a well known, reputable, and outstanding organization known as FFA. This program has inspired me to achieve things I once never thought could be achieved.

    When I first joined FFA, I had no idea of the impact it would have on me. Funnily enough, I originally thought of it just as a stepping stool into become a veterinarian- obviously plans have changed. And although my original goal and reason for joining has changed, I’m grateful that I did join, because FFA has impacted me in more ways than one. It goes beyond other experiences because as far as an educational experience goes, it has taught me a great deal than I ever expected. FFA has gone beyond just teaching me about cows, plants, and farming, it’s taught me business, life and leadership skills.…

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…

    The situation that brought about the need for the FLSA was the Great Depression, and previously weak employment and business laws. In 1938, the Great Depression still lingered, even after the initial downfall of the market nine years earlier. American workers were susceptible to low wages and poor working conditions. To this day, businesses still seek ways to create profit at the expense of workers. According to the Federation of American Scientists, in 1938 one-third of the United States population was malnourished and did not have proper conditions for living (FAS, 2013, pg. 1).…
