This week is National FFA week,, it's still one of the best organizations a student can get involved with.

From their official website, here's how this week was started back in 1948.

Each year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The week-long tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington's birthday as National FFA Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington's birthday.

I can't begin to tell you all the experience I gained in my days in FFA.
