Extracurricular activities like the FFA and 4-H Organizations, help students, like me, gain experience in a variety of areas that will enhance our future. Through participation in these organizations, I have learned cooperation, teamwork and time management. By serving as an officer, I have also gained responsibility, as well as problem solving and communication skills.
FFA has opened doors to new leadership roles at both a local and multi-county level. I have been given the opportunity to serve as Teutopolis Chapter and Section 20 Reporter and Vice President. The FFA Organization provides opportunities in leadership as well as activities, contests, and conferences. I enjoy competing in career development events because of the knowledge I gain about the diverse areas in the agriculture industry such as agronomy and agri-business. Currently, I have a supervised agriculture experience in beef production and most recently recieved my State FFA Degree from my record keeping in this area. Throughout FFA, I have also had the opportunity to play in the State FFA Band for the last three years as well as attend

My fellow officers and myself worked together to plan an exciting night to educate members of Section 20 about opportunities as well as teach leadership skills. I had the privilege to be the leader in my workshop where members participated in an activity which taught the participants the importance of communication and how to cope with obstacles that can arrive in FFA, school, and life. From holding these positions, I have also assisted at the State Fair by walking in the parade with other members as well as assist in running the FFA barnyard. These allowed me to discuss and inform children and adults about the agriculture industry and FFA. I have gained amazing experiences throughout the FFA

    I am interesting in applying to PLFSOM because I have a desire to ultimately become a primary care physician that works in underserved communities. Coming from a rural area, I know what a lack of providers in a region can do to a community. I have spent a lot of time in border towns since my dads family is originally from Mexico and I have been able to see first hand that even the biggest of border towns still has a very big proportion of their population that is underserved. Right now, I already use my Spanish to help the Spanish speaking patients that we see at our clinic but my Spanish medical terminology is not as strong as I would like. Being able to get my medical education from a school so close to the border would help me become the…

    One of my most recent challenges that occurred this past year was taking on a regional level role as South Central Region Z-HOPE Coordinator. Before this appointment I have only served on a local level, only serving as Tamias for Psi Alpha Zeta Chapter since graduation in 2011. This experience has helped me grow as a leader in multiple ways. Since taking this role I am more aware of what I do well and what I do not too well. I am investing more time in my strengths and seeking guidance, from past Z-HOPE Coordinators, in my weak areas.…

    “Proud traditions, sparking ambitions.” That was the saying for FFA this past year. While that 4-word phrase may seem just like a catchy phrase or a good theme to have, when we take a step back and examine those 4 words, we realize that it has been vivid throughout our history, in FFA, 4-H, agriculture, and throughout the world. People throughout our history, even though they may not realize it, have been running with this idea. This phrase has been summing up the actions of some of our greatest leaders and helping people change the world every day.…

    Even when I’m wrong I’m usually right. At least that is how I like to think of it but the truth is I am headstrong. I don’t give up and I’ll keep persisting to get what I want. Though it hasn’t always been helpful, but, yet being so stubborn has lead me to work hard to to achieve my goals. To say I’m as stubborn as a mule would be an understatement.…

    Many experiences in my life have changed my views in multiple ways, but by far the most life changing experience has to be when I was elected Daingerfield District Vice-President for the FFA. This experience has broadened my comfort zone of shyness and unconfidence, and as the FFA Opening Ceremonies say, it brought me “into the glorious sunlight of brotherhood and cooperation.” I finally began to realize after Greenhand Camp, my freshman year, that I might have a potential future in the FFA. With the support of my chapter, friends, family and much devoted prayer, I was able to accomplish my fears and officially announce that I was running for District Officer.…

Today, FFA recognizes its members as not only the future farmers of America, but the future biologists, future engineers, future entrepreneurs, future chemists, future veterinarians, and the future politicians of America as well. We have set out on a mission to show people that there is more to FFA then cows and plows, and that agriculture is not the only thing this organization has to offer. We have been appointed by state FFA to promote it and all its benefits. Our goal is to gain members by proving that this organization has something to offer for everyone, even if their interests don’t include farming or agriculture.…

    Extracurricular activities help students develop various interests that allow a student to be more active outside of the classroom. Extracurricular activities can also help students apply classroom knowledge to real world situations. I’ve participated in many extracurricular activities that pertained to my interest in medicine, and because of this, I’m able to use my knowledge of science classes to hopefully pursue a career in the medical field. Since my lifetime goal is to change the world through medicine, my courses and extracurricular activities have helped me prepare for my chosen field of study. My courses I’ve taken and extracurricular activities I’ve participated in include AP Biology, Anatomy/Physiology, and the purposeful walks sponsored by HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America).…
