I have had a lot of childhood memories and they are all my favorite! Every choice I chose made an impact on who I am today. One of the best choices I ever made was joining FFA and going to WLC! I honestly would not be the person I am today without FFA and my FFAmily! I went to WLC June of 2012! I met so many great people learned o much about them not only them but mostly myself and who I am! When I got there I was terrified I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I wasn’t even there for two hours and I called my mom crying because I wanted to go home but she told me that I would be ok and that I was just tired. So that night we had a get together in the dining room where we got to sit with whoever we wanted and of course all of us Indianola people sat together. I had no idea that by the end of the trip we wouldn’t want to leave any of our amazing friends. My roommates where the best I still keep in touch with them today. I miss them like you wouldn’t believe. And by the end of the trip ya we saw Indianola kids and I grew closer with them every time but I never knew I would honestly be a changed person when I got back home. Before I went there I was shy and the type of person that was always like talk to me don't touch me, leave me alone if you want me I'll be in the corner of there.  It took me a while to realize that WLC actually put an impact on my life and changed who I am. It is probably one of the best experiences of a life time. I went home thinking now that was stupid and a waste of y money but in all reality it wasn't it was the best choice ever. Noting joining FFA oh buddy where to begin! FFA has shaped me as a person and has pushed me to go further and further in life because of my amazing adviser Mrs. Brown. She saw my potential that they don't and hits them like a ton of bricks until they realize that they have it and can do it! My freshman and sophomore year all of my ag friends all the time told me to join FFA but I never did until my junior year because I had no idea what it was and because I was really busy but I totally regret it because if I was in FFA my freshman year then that means that I could have gone even further and become an officer, district officer or state officer. I have told every freshman that they made the right choice in joining and I regret it because I never did!
