National FFA Week!!

It's National FFA Week! 

Founded in 1928, the Future Farmers of America brought together students, teachers and agribusiness to solidify support for agricultural education. In Kansas City's Baltimore Hotel, 33 young farmboys charted a course for the future. They could not have foreseen how the organization would grow and thrive.

Since 1928, millions of agriculture students - no one knows exactly how many - have donned the official FFA jacket and championed the FFA creed. FFA has opened its doors and its arms to minorities and women, ensuring that all students could reap the benefits of agricultural education.

Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership,personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Now, the organization is expanding the nation's view of "traditional" agriculture and finding new ways to infuse agriculture into the classroom.

National FFA Week: February 19 -26, 2011

FFA Week gives members a chance to educate the public about agriculture. During the week, chapters host teacher appreciation breakfasts, conduct "Ag Olympics" competitions, speak to the public about agriculture, volunteer for community service projects and more.

The week of George Washington’s birthday was designated as National FFA Week in 1947 at a National FFA Board of Directors meeting. FFA Week always runs from Saturday to Saturday, and encompasses February 22, Washington’s birthday.

For my community service, I will be giving an Anti-Drunk Driving talk featuring the story of 

Jacqui Suburido, which proves that not everyone in a drunk driving accident dies.

This these are photographs before and after the crash.

A world of thanks to the National FFA Organization

Weekend Update

Top reasons why these past 3 weeks have sucked:

#1. Preparation for finals

#2. I am super angry with my best friend for not talking to me for the past 3 weeks straight.

There was an awesome ending to my sucky weeks though! On Friday, my friends and I went snowboarding in the best powder in the state! In most places on the mountain I couldn't even see the tops of my boots! But, after that fun day my legs feel like they are going to fall off. 

Last week one of my friends from camp (Lizzy) asked me to her school's homecoming ceremony. We went to TFCA's homecoming and little bit late, but according to the principle, we made a very fashionable entrance right as Lizzy won 2 awards. After the ceremony we headed over to Canyon Crest. We had chicken cordon bleu, which was very yummy (its chicken stuffed with ham and swiss cheese and then baked). I thought that there was going to be a dance, but Lizzy told me that since her school is Baptist, they don't believe in dancing? Anywho, we had a great time. Ya know what would be the BEST ending to my amazing weekend? If my best friend started talking to me again =D !! So, if my best friend happens to read this.....hint hint.

                                      FFA UPDATE!

Starting March 3rd, I get to go back to Ag class!!! I couldn't go during the winter because I really dislike riding my bike in the snow (I have to ride across town to GHS from NVA). I can't wait to go back!! 

I hope that my team will do as well as we did earlier this year. We were one of the Western National Range Champ teams! 

I'll try to get some 4-h stuff up later.

My Week

This week has been okay.
I was home sick 2 days with the flu and I didn't get to finish my hot air balloon for physics. =[
 (yes, I'm a geek, I know).
This week I ordered sheet music for the song 21 Guns from the Broadway musical American Idiot. I'm excited to start working on it! I've also ordered a song by The Fray called How To Save A Life, it's sad but it's one of my favorite songs.
So tonight I went to a school dance. It sucked. There were only about 25 people there, they didn't play any good music to actually dance to, and my date left early because she got tired of the stupid music. On the upside, a bunch of us left early and went out for pizza; we had a great time!

My friend has stopped talking to me again. I'm not sure how well that will turn out..

I'm sooooo excited to go to 4-H winter camp, Teen Conference, and the T.A.L.K. Retreat!

Quite the Musical Weekend

My weekend so far has been great! I've been at home all day watching the musicals American Idiot, Once on This Island, Cats, and Wicked. I have also been playing the piano, and listening to my brother play his cello. Sadly, I forgot to bring my bass home so I don't get to practice this weekend =[

But, I did get to practice singing!

Yesterday after my lesson, I was shaking alot and my singing teacher said that I got high from singing? I have no idea what that means...

Mr. Lofgran (singing teacher) said that our little singing group (Crystal, Debra, Kacie, Mary, Deili (pronounced day-lee), Tyler, and Myself) are ready ready to start performing to get ourselves used to singing in front of people. 

The Super Bowl is tomorrow, I'm undecided over who I want to win. 

Well, I'm off to play the piano some more!

 

Best Week Ever =D

This week has been the best ever!
Monday- No Homework, worked on physics project (plastic bottle rockets)
Tuesday-I got to go to Kiwi Loco (frozen yogurt) and symphony!
Wednesday- Jolt! (youth group breakfast at 6:45 in the a.m.) and God Squad (puppet practice)
Thursday- Ballroom (waltz, quick step, country swing, foxtrot and chacha)
 
Today I started singing with my government teacher/drama director/singing teacher and it was sooo much fun!! sang some Broadway tunes (stuff from Sweeney Todd, Cats, and My fair Lady.) Memory from Cats is my favorite one to sing.


The video is a bit gloomy, but I like the song.
