NLCSO Blessings- Randa & Bethany

The last 3 weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. 3 states, 15 teams, endless memories--all with one of your greatest friends by your side adds up to the best experiences of our year. NLCSO (stands for National Leadership Conference for State Officers) is one of the trainings offered for state officers across the nation. It's generally a 4-5 day conference focused completely on helping teams grow into high-performing teams.

Team HIGH IMPACT was the theme this year. We got to witness FFA members who are planning, preparing, and changing lives of FFA members from across the nation.

TOP 6 BEST things we got to see:

1. One hundred and sixteen people grow as people and team players.
2. Bryce Canyon by horse back
3. Disney World including Jasmine and Snow White
4. Fireworks on Daytona Beach for 4th of July.
5. Mr. Fletcher's Wonder Emporium (aka Camp Couchdale, AR)
6. 15 teams preparing to change students' lives.

These last 3 weeks were suppose to be about us teaching ya'll, but really the opposite happened. Each of you touched our lives in a way that we won't soon forget. The most incredible lessons that you taught us: be nothing except the amazing person you were created to be, trust your team-they love you too much not to, and don't ever be afraid to make a difference.
