Upon my arrival, another past officer greeted me in the hallway. Michael was the chapter president the year before me, and I must say I looked up to him and Taylor, our vice-president at the time, a great deal. The pair of them were like FFA rock stars, and I wanted to be just like them.
It was a pleasant surprise to see him, but I instantly knew he was up to something and I figured I’d eventually get roped into it. That was the story of my life my junior year, but I loved it then and I love helping out even now.
Before I could get involved in any big projects, I went in to see Mrs. Kreatz and delivered my presents to her and Mr. Wolf. It was good to see them. Sometimes email just doesn’t cut it, but I won’t complain. I love that with technology we have the ability to be far apart geographically, yet remain close.
Soon enough I discovered what Michael was up to. He and Taylor were replacing the old paper emblem that is used for every FFA parade float. In front of me was a beautiful, thick, wooden FFA emblem. Michael was engrossed in painting it, and graciously pointed me to the brushes and paint buckets.
It was good getting back to my second home, even if I was put back to work. I have so many good memories in that building. My FFA family- both the members and all of my advisors (there’s been five different ones in my four years of high school) have played a significant role in my life. I’m glad that even though I’ve graduated, I can still give back to the organization that has pushed me to where I am now.
Of coarse I put you to work it wouldnt be like home if I hadn't
