On the Weekend of February 18th, 2023, 28 West Perry FFA members attended the Agricultural Cooperation Establishes Success (ACES) conference held in Harrisburg. On Saturday morning, members went through different workshops based on the “Writing Your Story” theme. These workshops consisted of ways to set sturdy morals, write good goals, and the steps to take in order to achieve them. Members also learned key concepts for a job interview, such as dressing appropriately, writing a proper resume and cover letter, speaking firmly, and being prepared with answers to questions the interviewer may ask. After the workshops, members enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the hotel staff. Then, everyone participated in a dance, where they could enjoy social activity, meet new people, and converse with their fellow members. After the dance, the members listened to the inspiring and encouraging reflections of three state FFA Officers. On Sunday morning, members woke up, enjoyed a tasty breakfast to start their day, and then reflected on the previous day’s workshops and lessons with members from different chapters. After this activity, members went home with great memories and new friends within FFA.
