Statement Of Purpose: North Carolina FFA

Decent Essays
Although my high school years are mostly defined through academic success, I would have to say my most meaningful achievements came through the North Carolina FFA. This national organization provides me with countless opportunities to showcase my leadership abilities in my school, community, and state.
Obtaining the positions of Vice President and President of my high school FFA chapter has had an enormous impact on my life. These positions led to serving on nominating committees, planning community events, attending leadership conventions and conferences, and participating in a state-qualifying parliamentary procedure team. It was these experiences that gave me a passion for public speaking and Agribusiness.

As treasurer, I was responsible for going beyond the minimal fifty hours of community service—as well as verifying the time other members completed.…

    With Doc Brown’s DeLorean, or maybe The Doctor’s TARDIS, or a snap of Q’s fingers, I could go back in time and experience for myself the world in which my congregation operated a generation or two ago. Maybe I could gain more understanding of the tiered leadership structure in place. I might grasp the foundations of congregational polity of the Disciples of Christ as they formed in 1968. Then, I could slip forward to ten years ago when my congregation’s current mission statement was devised.…

    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.…
