I joined FBLA because I wanted to go on trips with my friends, but the more involved I got, the more I began to realize how much I enjoyed the other components. I loved competing at all 4 conferences, networking with members of both other chapters and my own, volunteering for community service, and enhancing my leadership skills.
My favorite FBLA memory is attending SLC my freshman year. We only brought a few students, so it gave me the chance to connect with new people and see the accomplishments of other teenagers throughout the state. It was here that I really began to appreciate the opportunities FBLA could give me.
