I enjoyed it because we got first place for our class!! This competition taught me to do everything possible and to do it to the best of my ability, and I will get results.вЂќ -Nick Vasquez (10) The opening closing event helped me because it showed me to not be afraid to speak in front of a large group of people. How long have you been in FFA? Has the opening and closing competition helped you in any way? Did you enjoy it? What have you learned from this competition? This year our chapter officer team was able to place as the first high school team bringing home the very first banner in PV history! This was a definitely a turning point, fueling our chapter with ambition and desire for more success!вЂќ -Yadira Barrera (12) The educational purposes of this contest would be to help enhance the public speaking abilities of individuals. They all have that aspiration to be at the other schools. After this contest everyone wants to win. ItвЂ™s the first speaking competition of the year, itвЂ™s where each chapter has an opportunity to prove they are the best, to prove that they have what it takes to win this year. The competitive purpose would be that to show the other schools whatвЂ™s up. This win is for all those that have come before us and the future members to see of what can be accomplished. We as a collective group have earned this and hopefully next yearвЂ™s competition we can continue to add to the history of our chapter. I want to congratulate everyone for putting in the hard work and time needed to accomplish one of our goals for this year. I think this contest serves for many purposes one of them being a more competitive way the other a more educational way. It is such a fun experience! Some of the best memories I have made throughout high school were made in FFA. How long have you been in FFA? Do you enjoy FFA? What do you think the purpose of this competition is? We could not be proud to bring this banner back to everyone at Pioneer Valley! Thank you to the teachers and administration that have supported our program throughout the journey.вЂќ -Daniel Joseph (Dj) Claborn (12) This win was not just for the officer team, this win was for our chapter and school. We could not have accomplished this without the guidance from our advisors. I hope to one day pursue a career as a high school agriculture teacher, so I can give back to the organization and people that have given me so much. Being a 4-year member of Pioneer Valley FFA, my life has taken a turn in the best direction possible. Everyone on the team followed the script exactly and delivered each of their parts beautifully. My team did amazing, for the past three years placing 5th and 6th, to now gaining the title of 1st High Team in the Officer division our senior year shows the amount of work that we all put in. What a great accomplishment to bring home the 1st banner is something special that this class and group of students will forever remember. I am extremely proud of the hard work that everyone has put in to this accomplishment. вЂњThe victory by the officer team is a win for the AG Leadership Class, for our chapter, and school. How do you think your team did overall? How did you think you do on this competition? As a 4-year member of Pioneer valley FFA how do you think itвЂ™s changed your life or character? These students have put in great effort and all had individual outcomes to this experience. Pioneer Valley has experienced this competition numerous amount of times, but the year of 2017 was the year one of the groups took the 1st place banner. This Opening and Closing Ceremony competition is held yearly for many FFA Chapters in the area. Many groups from the Future Farmers of America (FFA) club took top honor at the Santa Barbara Section Speaking Competition that hosted over 450 students and 50 teams from the Arroyo Grande, Lompoc, Nipomo, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, and Righetti FFA Chapters in San Louis Obispo at Cal Poly State University.
