I became an FFA Officer at the be of my sophomore year. It happened like this. It was the day of our chapter FFA banquet, the banquet had began, people started filling in and I started to get so nervous. It was in the commons or lunch room of our high school. This was my first ever FFA banquet, besides our area one.
It was an overall positive experience, and taught me skills I needed for future occupations,
I love meeting new people who share the same interests and passions as I do. It’s hard to explain just how much this program means to me. When I am older I hope to run for Kentucky State 4-H Teen Council President, and can contribute back to this amazing
I volunteered at my local chapter for my senior year of high school. I got to work with the phenomenal staff at the chapter. I had the pleasure of meeting families who were very strong. This organization has a very favorable standing from my point of view. This is probably one of the best charities in the U.S. and around the world due to their timeless efforts to support families in need.
I am Cadet Captain Mejia and I have been in JROTC my whole high school career (4 years). It has been a crazy 4 years, from being cadet of the month my freshmen year to being color guard commander my senior year. JROTC has been a roller coaster for me, I loved JROTC my freshmen year. I did everything my first year in JROTC, I was in color guard, drill team, unarmed drill team, and raiders team! I did almost all color guard performances.
I always enjoyed the performance, especially the Drumline. Because of this, I decided to join the Marchmasters during my freshman year. Since joining, I have realized that it is a lot more work than I had anticipated. Not only do I have to wake up really early, the practices can be up to 4 hours long, marching and carrying a drum. Even though is a lot of work I still continue to do it.
Since I was ten years old, I have been a member of the Young Marines, a program dedicated to the enrichment of youth. Aside from my family and school, this organization has had an incredible impact on my life, not only providing me with many unique and amazing experiences, but by shaping the foundation of my character by instilling in me the three core principles of the Young Marines: Discipline, Leadership, and Teamwork and also by emphasizing the importance of community service. I have had many amazing and unique experiences as a Young Marine which included the challenges of promotion to become the senior ranking officer, learning many new skills such as CPR, teaching Drug Demand Reduction, leading and mentoring the members of the Unit, going on encampments and traveling. In my sophomore year, my Unit Commander, a Korean War veteran, selected me to travel with him to Seoul. Every few years he chooses a Young Marine to take to South Korea based on merit.
I had known about the Mercy Flight Explorer post from way back when I was a Cub Scout, I remember them being at our events and I may have taken a few trips to their tent back then too. When I was a Cub Scout I didn't fully understand what the explorer post was, when I joined Boy Scouts however I realized the boys and girls in the post were not all that much older than me and I thought it was the coolest thing that they got to work in EMS at their age. Through my time at Boy Scouts the post was in the back of my mind and when I was ranked as a star I felt that I had gotten all that I needed from Boy Scouts and decided it was time to check out the explorer post. My first meeting was when we were training for competencies I honestly did not expect to get thrown in and get to do hands on stuff on my first day
My FFA membership has taught me more than I ever thought it would. When I first came back to YPS I was in eighth grade. This meant I was a Greenhand. Although Greenhands are supposed to be Freshmen, they were seventh and eighth graders here. I didn’t know what to expect.
During my time on the team, I have been the Sentinel for one year and the Secretary for two years. Being on the officer team has helped me become more organized and a better leader. From helping to organize meetings with the other officers, to attending FFA conventions, I have gained a great deal of responsibility. Future Farmers of America has also provided me with many opportunities to help make an impact in my community through volunteer work. Every year our officer team helps the YMBL, Young Men’s Business League, of Southeast Texas to put on a Special Needs Rodeo.
Law enforcement is an honorable job to have and to uphold, especially a State Trooper. You will have a reputation to uphold. In this field it will come to know that it is very unpredictable. Every morning when you go into the field, there is always a chance you won't come home.
I loved this program, because it allowed me to get out there in my community and help give people with mental and/ or physical disabilities, live out there dream. From being a unified partner with their bowling team, to being a unified runner on their Track and field team, to just giving my time as a volunteer helping with the events logistics, it is one program, I am glad i'm affiliated
Many young people aspire to become police officers. However, not everyone is fit for the role as police work is extremely demanding both physically and mentally. In order to be effective in the job, a policeman should possess superb communication skills, extra-ordinary courage, excellent judgement, empathy, and a high degree of professionalism, to name a few. Choosing this career in law enforcement can be a quite challenging yet rewarding. If you aspire to join the police force, then you are bound to make a difference in your community as well as your own personal life.
this is something i love doing and it interests me to the fullest. while being a civilian has its upsides and is fun i find it more fun to be in a Law Enforcement role and protect and serve the community. What can you offer NovumRP? (100-word minimum)
I stuck with it, and it has been extremely rewarding, however, there were many times I wanted to quit. As we enter into youth ministries, we might be in this situation. If we go in with the mindset that it will take work, and we might not meet the expectations of the church at first, we can still have a successful ministry. There are many other practical ministry applications in this book, another one I want to discuss is the emotional health of the youth
