I know it is the second semester and you have a lot of other important clubs, organizations, and school work you need to focus on. The American BAA level may prove to use up a lot of your free time or time you need to participate in your other organizations, but do your other activities get you national recognition? Probably not. Go the extra mile and complete your America Level BAA because it is rewarding and worth it!
Relieve some of your second semester stress by choosing wisely. Pick your non-required activities on the basis of necessity. If you only have a few hours a week to work on your BAA, it probably would not be a good idea to write, plan, and perform a skit. Instead, you should choose an activity like Activity #23 under the Progress category of the America Level. Since you already know more than the average high school student about FBLA and you have experienced it firsthand, planning the meeting will only require minimal preparation. You will probably need to prepare an informational packet or a short presentation, but other than that conferencing with the administrators of another non-FBLA school should be a breeze. Be yourself and show them what you love and what they are missing out on!
Good luck on your America Level BAA! Remember: you are almost there and you can do it! Do not be discouraged by the many activities that you need to complete, instead focus on the feeling of being on the National and Georgia FBLA stages.
