I just arrived home fresh off my first week at State Leadership Conference. The week started on Monday around ten o'clock when campers began pouring in to register. I don't remember being as excited as I was when members started arriving. It was like Christmas in June.
The next day the real fun began as members dove into leadership workshops on topics ranging from public relations to time management. Presenting my first was a little daunting, but the FFA members made the experience a memorable one as well as an enjoyable one. Following Tuesday, the week flew by. I really valued the time getting to know my small group the Hot Tamales from North Johnston and South Rowan. We played big booty and ninja and learned to shag in the course of one week, all while discussing focus, kindness, perseverance, and attitude. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.
Next on the agenda was Wednesday Night Live, where my fellow officers and I acted out some of our favorite Saturday Night Live skits. Justin rocked his guitar, and Alycia and Daniel showed us how rowdy a chess match can get with their Spartan Cheerleader skit. I had so much fun performing Matt Foley motivational speaker. However, I want to say sorry to Jamie for spitting on her during the sketch. Apparently during the heat of acting, I spit like a llama.
Thursday's night dance gave all the campers and staff a chance to boogie down. Whether it was shagging the night away, or doing Mr. Holt's broom dance, everyone seemed to have a great time at the dance.
I was sad to see the conference come to an end today. But, I look forward to seeing FFA members using the leadership skills learned at the conference put to use in their homes, communities, and chapters.
