Workshop Schedules

Claire Woeppel- Central Region Vice President

Have you ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’re giving everything but running on empty? We’ve all been there. Life pulls us in a lot of directions, and it’s easy to forget where our energy is going. In this workshop, you’ll explore your personal “cup,” discover what truly fills it, and learn how to pour your energy with intention—so you can show up ready to pour into those around you.

Josiah Saravia- North Caroline FFA State Vice President 

There are a lot of things in life that we want, but don’t always have access to, things like time, money, and opportunities. No matter how hard we try, those things always feel limited in some way. We have to make choices about how we use them, and sometimes we wish we had more. Throughout today’s workshop, we’ll get to take a look at what it means to recognize gratitude in our everyday lives, who it often comes from, and how we can start expressing it more intentionally in our communities and in FFA.

Adrienne Miller
This workshop will focus on mental health awareness and provide guidance on how to effectively cope and thrive despite our struggles. Students will learn about what mental health means and why it is important and vital to address one’s issues. My personal story inspired the newly released book “Blackbird: Learning to Fly Above Depression and Anxiety,” by Dr. Jessica Turner. Collaborating with the author has helped me learn more about mental health. I will share key points with the students that will open up conversations regarding this profound topic. My hope is that students will leave my workshop knowing that he/she is not alone and that there are resources available to guide them through their mental health journey.
