The above pictures are of me when I competed in the freshman creed contest myself. On the left is a picture of the plaque I received. I placed 1st in the district and competed at the state level where I placed 4th. The picture on the right is of me after I received my plaque.
Before doing this ethnography I had my own opinion on what the FFA creed meant to me. My opinion was, the FFA creed is a symbol to FFA members around the world of a new era in agriculture. The FFA creed is not just 5 paragraphs but a meaning of life. After interviewing all three of my interviewers I had developed a new opinion with the combining of some of their words and some of mine. What the FFA creed means to me is, it gives all students a 5 paragraph creed about agriculture, past, present, and future all members should have memorized. The FFA creed is something I strive to live up to each and every day. My favorite paragraph is, “I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to my national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.” This is my all-time favorite because it describes how no matter what agriculture will always be an important part of the everyday life. As a future FFA advisor and agricultural teacher, I hope to inspire and influence students to be the best they can be.
