Future Farmers of America
|
Throughout my four years of high school, I have come to the realization that I have an enormous passion for agriculture. Through the Future Farmers of America program (FFA), I gained knowledge in cooperative marketing, veterinary science, and my favorite experience of all: showing livestock for the county fair. Showing my market goat Sye introduced me to various skills that I used while I was at fair. I learned how to properly train, show, and brace a market goat, which was really fascinating to me. Not only did I obtain knowledge, but I also got 6th place in market goat, 5th place in Naves Showmanship, and 4th in cooperative marketing. During my junior year I became the 2014-2015 chapter secretary, and I am currently the 2015-2016 chapter historian. I have created so many memories through the FFA program that I have enjoyed tremendously, and memories that I will always cherish and keep forever.
Me presentaron a la Discusión y Debate migrante cuando era un estudiante en el 8 grado en la primaria de Kennedy. Estar en el equipo de la Discusión y Debate Migrante ha mejorado mis habilidades para hablar en público, me enseñó a usar la dicción correcta, y la forma de debatir adecuadamente. Aunque no fui parte del equipo mi primer o segundo año, decidí darle una oportunidad durante mi tercer año de la escuela secundaria. A pesar de que habían pasado muchos años desde que no he participado, me alegro de haberlo hecho, porque será una experiencia divertida y educativa. Estoy verdaderamente agradecida por el discurso migrante y torneo de debate.
When I heard people talk about Mock Trial, I had no idea what they were talking about. It wasn't until my junior year when my teacher persuaded me into joining the club where I was given the opportunity to become a lawyer within the club. It was nerve-racking competing against other schools in the county, but it was interesting being able to feel as if you were really a real lawyer. I learned so many techniques that I did not know before, and I also got the opportunity to meet different lawyers and judges. It was absolutely exciting feeling as if we were really lawyers and arguing for a case. Cuando estaba escogiendo mis clases para mi horario de mi tercer año de secundaria, tuve que dejar una de mis clases de AP, porque no tenia espacio para el curso de AP Spanish. Mi consejera ofreció el teatro para mí, y eso me emocionó, porque era una de las optativas que quería tener en mi primer año, pero no pude. No he tenido la oportunidad de tomar la clase mi primer año, pero por suerte se me dio la oportunidad de poder incluirlo en mi horario de tercer año de secundaria. Mientras en el teatro, tuve un montón de diversión actuando, y aprendendiendo acerca de la historia del teatro. Disfruté de la clase tanto, que más tarde me llevó a participar en la obra de la escuela. Fue la mejor decisión que pude haber hecho. Ahora que soy un senior, estoy muy feliz de ser la historiadora para el ano 2015-2016.
I joined Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) when I was a sophomore. I did not plan on joining in the beginning, but my friend and I somehow appeared at the member meeting. At the meeting we got a better idea of what it really was which led us to be part of the club. I competed in Parliamentary Procedures my sophomore year, and during my senior I competed in Economics and Public Speaking II. I placed third in Public Speaking at the Central Section Conference. Yo diría que mi tercer año fue el año en que se me dio muchas oportunidades. Al final de mi segundo año, se me dio la oportunidad de unirme a AVID a pesar de que yo era un junior. En AVID, me encontré con un montón de gente nueva, y que me han ayudado por muchas cosas . AVID es un programa muy útil, ya que me ha preparado para la vida en la universidad. Debido a este programa, he mejorado mucho en mis estudios y puedo llamar a muchos de mis compañeros mis hermanos y hermanas . ,I was introduced to CSF in the beginning of my junior year when they announced that there would be a meeting. I did not know what CSF was until I was given a more depth explanation about it at the meeting. It has motivated me and other students to strive for level 4's.
Cuando pensé en pista y campo, me dije a mí misma que no había manera de que alguna vez iba a unirme en el equipo. Era tan extraño que terminó siendo el primer deporte que decidí unirme mientras yo estaba en la secundaria. Cuando me uní, mi objetivo era estar en forma y mejorar mi resistencia, pero termine amar correr! Era tan gran manera de aliviarme del estrés y relajarme a mí misma de todo lo demás . Ever since I was a freshman, I have always wondered what it would be like to be a member of the National Spanish Honors Society. I was enrolled in Mr. Gutierrez's Spanish course when I entered high school where I later found out that he was also the advisor for the NSHS. Though I was not able to become a member my freshman year, I had this enormous urge to be part of this club one day. Now that I am a senior, I am finally a part of the society. Through the NSHS, there have been a lot of community service opportunities. An event that really touched me was Kid's Day. Although I woke up at 4 a.m., it is an experience I do not regret at all, because I was contributing to help many of the children at the Valley Children's Hospital. |
