FCCLA
goes to Spokane
On
Friday, the 15th of November, six members of FCCLA (and Ms. Cable,
of course) gathered in the morning to head for Spokane for a Cluster Meeting.
The students who attended were President Kaylie Durglo, Vice president Courtney
Heath, Secretary Kayla Billette (me), Treasurer Robbie Erickson, and supporting
FCCLA members Carley Elverud and Amanda Andres.
Once
in Spokane, our first order of business was to check into the hotel. Right
after that, we reported to the Trade Center where all the meetings were held.
We received our name cards and discussed our plans for the rest of the weekend.
Not too much time passed before we attended our first nightly meeting. The
speakers were excellent, and one in particular stuck out.
Johan
Khalilian was the first speaker we heard of many we were to hear in the weekend
to come, but in my opinion he was an excellent speaker. He really connected
with the audience, and kept his speech flowing. There was never a moment when
his speech didn’t just seem to flow into his next subject. He had a lot of
wisdom to share with us, and he did it by telling us stories from when he was
young and in high school.
Another
meeting a few of us attended was the autism awareness meeting. We found out
many statistical facts about autism but also ways that we can spread awareness.
Come April 2nd, FCCLA will be coming up with our own ways to spread
awareness.
Although
the weekend was full of many meetings and insight on the world around us, we
also had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. To anyone who wants to make a
difference in the world around them, I suggest joining FCCLA. It’s a lot of fun
as well as life-changing and eye-opening.
