FFA = Awesome

My name is Darien Cooke, I am from Palmer Alaska and I am the State President for Alaska FFA. You know, I have always hated speaking in front of groups. Small or large it always made me so nervous that my chest would constrict and my face would get beet red. The problem is, I LOVE to talk in front of people. I find that most problems that we have can be fixed if we talk about it. I find the best way to make people happy, relaxed, excited, is to talk. Now, I don't know why I have a fear of public speaking even though I love to speak in front of people. I love the feeling that you get when you know people are actually listening to what you have to say and not shrugging it off. Ok, this far into this paragraph you are probably thinking, " OK Darien, WE GET IT, cut to the chase" Well. The chase is. FFA has helped me tackle my fear of public speaking,  it hasn't completely gotten rid of it, but FFA has helped a ton to make me feel a little more relaxed doing it. The beauty of why I am sharing this is, this can happen to you with FFA. If you have a fear, I can guarantee that the FFA members will help you through it, just like me and my speaking. I love FFA for this, they have given me a gift I didn't know I had.So please, if you read this you are probably laughing a little, but you are also probably a little curious. Am I right? Or am I right? The world is ready for our generation to help it rise up and regain stability. It is waiting for us.This. Is. Gonna be fun. You ready? Lets rock.

P.S
By the way, or I guess BTW, You, yes, you who is reading this, you are awesome. Remember that. On a different note, how would you say BTW, Be Te Dubb? Oh, I guess like that.
