Nationals

Okay, let me start off by saying that the National FFA Convention was a blast! I competed in Farm Business Management or FBM and got a bronze for individual and a bronze for the team activity. That was my first time even competing in FBM, so I would say that this trip was a success, especially since I was able to do a ton of touristy things while in Louisville, Kentucky. Not only was I competing in FBM, but also in the Hall of States, which is pretty much a booth set up by my partner and I that represents Nevada Agriculture. We didn't win that, but it gave our teacher a good idea on how it can be improved on for next year. Now the touristy things we were able to do included going to Churchill downs and seeing all the horses training, going to the Louisville Slugger Museum where we were able to take a tour of how the bats are made, going to a Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular, an arboretum and a haunted Corn Maze (which was the most terrifying thing of my life). Even when we were just at our Hotel it was fun, due to everyone hanging out in our Hotel room until practically Midnight every night. It was an awesome week if you don’t include how little sleep I got and how it was a bit humid there, let’s just say that my hair didn't like it when I straightened it, because it just wanted to get wavy.
