Friday December 3, Alycia and I were invited to attend the first ever Heritage High School Leadership Symposium. Heritage High School is a brand new school in Wake County that currently only has freshman and sophomore students. The teachers at Heritage thought it would be prudent to have a conference to develop leadership in students active in some of the extracurricular organizations. This visit provided a unique opportunity to not only talk to current FFA members but also to work with students involved in other clubs at Heritage High School. We were tasked with presenting workshops on the basics of running a meeting and two more on teamwork basics. As much as I enjoy working with FFA members, it was nice to mix it up today. The students were really enthusiastic and attentive. Everyone was eager to participate and learn. Also, I think it might be a universal truth that everyone loves balloons. I don't know what it is about balloons that just gets people excited, but when we brought out the balloons the students were over the moon. Looking back, it was one of those visits that make being a state officer really enjoyable. Heritage FFA has a bright future.
