Why do you wish to serve as an FFA Officer?
I wish to be a part of the FFA program to not only broaden my horizons but to carry on my sisters legacy as an officer. I believe that joining the officer team will help me build character in me and give me a deeper understanding of responsibilities. Not only will it help me build character too but it will help me with social skills and being communicative in a positive way to other people. I believe working together with a team will be a beneficial to me later on in life.
From what you understand, what do you believe an officer's responsibilities are?
I believe that the officers responsibilities are not only to serve the FFA organization they serve in but also inform the public of what FFA truly is. I also believe that it is the officers responsibility to be a good public figure when representing the organization because of the position they hold in it. The officer must also maintain their other responsibilities while staying involved in the program. Being apart of the program is also a very big thing because even if you an officer being involved is big when you represent the organization.
What qualities do you possess that would make you a good FFA officer?
I think I possess many good qualities that would make me a good FFA officer. Some of these qualities include a positive attitude, leadership qualities, being very social with other, and a winning mentality. I think these qualities are important in my opinion because as an officer you must inform people of what FFA represents and communicate with other officers from your school and from others. As an officer you represent your school's FFA program and leave a positive experience with others when socializing with them. These are some of the reasons I believe I would be a good FFA officer.
What FFA events have you participated in?
I have participated in Opening and Closing
What part of the FFA emblem best represents you as an individual? Why?
I believe that the Rising Sun represents me the most. I believe this because the FFA program will expand my horizons and help lead me to brighter opportunities to me, not only this nut I believe that it also represents my bright attitude and positive mindset I will bring to the Officer team if selected.
Besides FFA - what other activities are you involved in? Do you foresee any other activities to cause time conflicts with your service as an FFA Officer?
I am involved in the AVID program as well however I do not believe that if will conflict with my time FFA officer.
