• W303777059 abstract "Carl: As people, places and things move through our lives, it is sometimes difficult to let go. As teachers, how do we let go of that outstanding special student so he or she can move on to better things in life? As parents, how do we let go of our children while also helping them learn the importance of letting go? Although we may live in a throw-away society, it is still difficult to master the leadership lessons involved in letting go. Sometimes it is important to hold on to people, places, or ideals. For our family, one of the things we have held onto for years is agricultural education and FFA. As the son of a career high school agriculture teacher, I was no stranger to FFA even before I became involved in the organization myself. Once I was old enough to take agriculture classes, I was thrilled to become an FFA member and get my first blue corduroy jacket. As a high school agriculture teacher and then as a university teacher-educator, I - and by extension, my family- have held on to agricultural education and FFA. Caleb: The move from Texas to Montana after my sophomore year of high school was difficult and painful. I was angry about the change and about being expected to adjust to a different culture and environment. I struggled to fit into my new surroundings. Eventually, I settled back into one of the few things I could relate to - being involved in agricultural education and the FFA chapter at my new high school. In Texas, FFA was something I did to occupy my time, but now it was my niche; it was one of the few places I knew I fit in. In Texas, I had been a chapter officer, and had planned to eventually be the chapter president. Due to the move, I obviously was not elected as a chapter officer my Junior year at Belgrade High School, which also put doubts into my mind whether I could even be a chapter officer the following year, much less accomplish the goal of becoming chapter president. Carl: What a year! It was not an easy transition for anyone, but especially for a 16-year old. As a parent, I was at a loss for how to help my son let go. I kept seeing all kinds of opportunities for him in his new school, new FFA chapter and new setting. What his mom and I heard was how much better things were in his former life. At every chance, he was going back to what was comfortable, and perhaps safe. Through cell phone, texting, and MySpace; he was able to maintain the contact with all his Texas friends. We initially thought that was a good thing. We made arrangements for him to attend church camp with the youth group from the church we had attended in Texas. He made plans to spend time during Christmas break and summer vacation with friends from Texas. It seemed to me he was spending so much time hanging on that he was making himself miserable - and by extension, making the whole family miserable. Thankfully, he did begin to look at the opportunities available to him through agricultural education and FFA. Caleb: Although the lack of an office was initially discouraging, I found other ways to get involved that were rewarding. Almost all of my new friends were also FFA members and I attended almost every FFA function that year. I had to let go of the notion that in order to contribute to my FFA chapter I had to be an officer. I got a lot of enjoyment out of being able to show up and make an immediate, noticeable impact on the success of an event or project. Through involvement and taking advantage of those opportunities, I realized my goal of being elected as the FFA chapter president my senior year and continued to be very involved in agricultural education and FFA. The more I let go of the things I was holding onto for sentimental and anger reasons, the more opportunities I began to see open before me. I took every chance I could to be involved and meet new friends from across the state. During the fall of my senior year, I set a new goal of becoming a Montana FFA state officer. I thought that if I could show up in Montana and in two years accomplish enough to be elected to a state FFA office, then it would be a good example to share with members that anyone could accomplish whatever goal they desired with enough hard work and a little luck. …" @default.
