The students that we had come to the event were excited to interact with new people from across the state as well as Virginia. Once they had finished their workshops, the had mentioned all the cool things they had learned like conversation skills and networking with people/businesses. They also made new friendships that will last for a lifetime.
While the students had attended their workshops, I also attended an Ag Business workshop through Penn State Center for Professional Personnel Development. In this workshop, we learned about balance sheets, income statements, business entities, and business planning. Going through this workshop gave me ideas to bring back to the classroom as I soon enter my financial unit in Ag Business Operations.
This weekend was a great time to see what it is like to be an advisor/mentor instead of being in that student role. My cooperating teacher had given me full reign of instructing the students as well as doing evening room checks. It is neat to look back at all my experiences as a student and state FFA officer and understand the principles and ideas that were shared by my FFA advisors. I am excited to continue my journey with Solanco. Looking back at everything I have done, experienced, or achieved it was all worth the hard work in order to make it to this point in my life.
