FFA: Awesome program

-

the best function FFA hosts which is barnwarmin­g, it’s a barn dance where we all get together and crown a “Sweetheart” and dance and sing to our favorite country songs. I have had the pleasure to escort an FFA sweetheart attendant the past three years and will be doing my final duty as an escort at this year’s Barnwarmin­g dance. Barnwarmin­g will be one of those things I will forever miss about my High School years.

FFA is an awesome program that has left me with memories that I will forever treasure. I am a proud member of FFA and will take these skills and memories and use them long after I graduate. FOREVER blue and gold!

Joining FFA is one of the best decisions I have made in my life so far. In my short experience of this organizati­on I have learned and experience­d so many things that I would have never had the opportunit­y otherwise. One of the biggest things we’ve done as a chapter in Pea Ridge was attending the Arkansas/ Oklahoma state fair where we graded cattle. Grading the cattle was a unique experience and it being the first time I have ever done so it was awkward and I didn’t know the grading process very well, but in the end it was still fun. After we graded the cattle we were allowed to go to the fair grounds. That in itself was a great experience because I have never gone to a fair and I’ve always wanted to.

During my time in my Survey of Ag Systems class I have had a great time. I have learned so much about tools and animals that I had no idea about. Although it wasn’t easy I think I have done pretty good in the class. I have had an amazing experience in this class. It has taught me things like how to cut wood the right way, and what tools to use to cut. If I hadn’t taken this class then I don’t think I would have learned these things right now in school. Overall I think I have benefited a lot from the Ag Class.
