On Friday we had our FFA banquet. It was amazing that most of the kids had never really been to a banquet or received a plaque for their efforts. It got me thinking about all the things that were firsts for many of the students I had this year and the progress that was made by so many. It also made me remember about how far I had come in the past year.
Who would've thought, in a year that I could go from being angry, bitter and unhappy to being where I am now? I didn't... I also never dreamt that I'd be at a school that could make me so excited to be a teacher and advisor. This year has included many adjustments but for the most part has been unwaveringly successful. I have students with limitless potential, administration that is supportive and parents that show up for their kids. With all these blessings, how could I possibly be anything but estactic for the future.
I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by so much potential. And the thing I love most about my kids? They like eachother and support eachother and work together! Not many FFA chapters have that luxury. Our banquet on Friday congratulated achievements of kids but it mostly highlighted the achievements of the entire chapter.
I cannot wait for our upcoming activities and next year! It's going to be great! From Relay for Life next week to the Officer Retreat in July, we are only just beginning this path to greatness. Everything in time, of course.
