ByMadisonMcCarty RedBluffFFAreporter The 2016-2017 Red Bluff FFA Chapter went on the annual FFA Officer Retreat Aug. 1-3 in Castella. The retreat was led by four advisors, Mr. Pritchard, Mrs. Svejda, Miss. Munro, andthenewAGadvisorMrs. Trunnell. After arriving in Castella Monday afternoon the stu- dents went straight to work. The six officers and four ad- visors started off by playing a few team building games that were meant to help the officers learn how to work and communicate with one another. Along with games they sat and collaborated ideas and goals for this up- coming year. The following day was busy. The officers had mul- tiple icebreakers and adven- tures; including leadership and team bonding games and adventuring three falls in McCloud. They discussed various business items that will benefit this year's chap- ter. One of a few items talked aboutwasthisyear'ssponsor T-shirts. The design will in- clude the FFA symbol along with "Red Bluff FFA, where will you grow?" The officer retreat has al- ways been about bonding, creating new friendships and trying to become the best team that the officers can be to improve the chap- ter. This year was very suc- cessful year in bonding and in learning about strengths and weaknesses as well as coming up with new ideas that could potentially get more members involved. It was great fun for the officers to assert themselves and really learn what their position is all about. The team has amazing plans for the upcoming year in FFA and hopes that all of the members of the Red Bluff FFA chapter will grow.

I didn't hack some- one's iden- tity; hold up an unsus- pecting vic- tim at gun- point; or anything similar; let me explain. Sunday afternoon, nice weather, light breeze; we want to be outside, and we like walking. "Where would you like to go to- day," she asked. "I'm tired of the same old places." "There's a trail by the coast," I replied. "It's flat, nice view, some of my friends said it's very pretty. Why don't we try that?" Unfortunately, sus- pended on a chain across the entrance was a hand- written sign: "Closed." As far as barriers go, it weren't nuthin'; we could effortlessly step over it or go around it. For that matter, any Joe Schmoe could have hung it there. "Darn," I said, "It looks like we won't be able to do this." Yes, I realize on the grand scale of rebellious acts, circumventing a "closed" sign on a pub- lic pathway won't get me appointed as spokesper- son for Anarchy Now, but that's how I was raised and old habits die hard. "Why," she asked. "Won't" is Barrier One; hindering us from change via an inner sense of ac- ceptable or unacceptable behaviors. In many cases, "won't" is totally appro- priate. "I won't cheat on my wife." "I won't steal." "I won't hurt others." Yet, in other instances, it in- discriminately holds us victim: "I won't go to the doctor." "I won't apolo- gize." "I won't change my opinion." "We can't trespass; it's against the law." I pointed out. Sometimes, after an- alyzing the situation, "won't" becomes "can't," allowing us to attri- bute our "stay-in-place- ness" to a force outside of ourselves; but with that choice enters the equa- tion. "We know it was open earlier. It's safe. Let's see what it's like." Pondering her logic out loud, I muttered, not to- tally convinced. "Well, I guess we could…" "Could" unlocks the realm of Possible po- sitioning us within an imaginary condition and beginning to swing our thoughts from excuses to options. Still not totally com- mitted, I appended, "I might be willing to go a little way. If it's unsafe, or there seems to be a rea- son why it's closed, we come back, okay?" At this level of change, we're no longer consider- ing theoretical concepts. "I might" projects us into the picture, taking ac- tual actions; making a change, depicting the re- sults. "Sounds good. You want to join me?" "Yeah," I said, less wa- vering in my resolution, "I will." Once we reach the realm of "I will," we substitute thought with observable action. We walked past the chain, leading to the ulti- mate chapter: "I did." I am not blind to the irony that the activity of walking a footpath is also an obvious metaphor for the route traveled by any change, whether it's losing weight, joining a gym, or improving a mar- riage. At first we are stag- nant, guided by the in- ternal mores of what we won't do. "It's out of the question, a deal killer!" Upon slow painful real- ization that we indeed might be "right" — but also miserable — we place firmly the responsibility on external forces block- ing our success. "I can't. It's too hard. The system's rigged. Why bother?" En- ter patience and guid- ance, and then imagina- tion begins to wonder, "What if? Could I actu- ally do it? How amaz- ing would that feel?" Sup- portive thoughts lead us to test the water; "I might try it for a bit and see how it feels. I can always stop," progressing to "I will try it." Transition complete, we proudly pro- claim, "I did it." I know me. This wasn't the first step down a slip- pery slope of ignoring au- thority, but you know what? It did empower me. As soon as I finish writ- ing this, I'm going to de- fiantly rip the "do not re- move" tags from my pil- lows.
