Pride

An accomplishment I take pride on is competing at regional and state level for my club.

The club that I competed in was FCCLA. FCCLA is an acronym for Family, Career and

Community Leaders of America, it’s a nonprofit national career and technical student

organization for those in Family and Consumer Sciences education. During state conference,

which was held in Riverside, CA, I competed in a event called Decorated Wedding Cakes, our

goal was to plan and decorate a 3 tier styrofoam cake as well as use materials that they had

specifically said to use and demonstrate on our presentation. We were also to compete against

students from different schools and regions in California. Although I did not place or win first, I

did earn a certificate and I made many new friends across California. This was very significant

for me, as it was my last year in FCCLA, but it gave me a lots of experience of what it feels like

to not win,and honestly, just to have fun. I’m very grateful my club for giving me this experience

for the last time. I’m also very grateful for

being able to compete alongside

with many friends as well as getting even

closer to them.
