You Never Leave With Less

I never once thought I would be in a parli class, let alone sharing my newly learned knowledge with others. Coming from an FFA chapter that had no parli skills, I knew that AEE 216 would be a challenge, but I also knew that I wanted to be the best agriculture educator that I could be.

It wasn't a hard decision of where I wanted to go to preform my service activity. I would travel the 1 hour and 23 minute drive to Armagh pa, and I would take Kryslynne with me. We prepared a power point presentation that has the motions needed to compete in the CDE. I knew that I wanted to head back to my home school to be share the knowledge that I have gained though a simple decision to take a  class about Parliamentary procedure.

Walking into AEE 216 I knew nothing about making motions, or even what bylaws were and why a club would create them. And now I would be walking into a classroom and teaching them how to make motions, and correctly use parliamentary procedure.  The students that were ours for the day seem excited to be there, they were actually excited to learn, but when it came to participating in the mock meeting they were shy. Mistakes were made, and laughs were had but at the end of the day I knew that the students left with me information than they walked in with.

Now that my time in AEE 216 has come to an end, I know that I have left the class with so much more knowledge than I walked in with. When taking up an opportunity there is no way possible that you will leave that experience with less knowledge that you started with,therefore every opportunity is well worth it. Although I am not an accredited parliamentarian, I can say that I have succeeded in this class, I impacted others, I have gained more knowledge, and I have left with more.
