I am sort of tired. On Monday I made two workshop presentations (teaching with humor, time management for ag teachers) in Roanoke, Virginia for the Virginia Agricultural Teachers Association. On Tuesday my luncheon keynote presentation was Searching for the Wizard of Oz. As soon as I finished I jumped in the car and drove the three hours back to Raleigh so I could grab a flight to Springfield, Missouri. I arrived at midnight.
On Wednesday I did a workshop for the Missouri ag teachers on how to make the teaching of FFA information exciting. Today (Thursday) I made a keynote presentation titled Live Like You Were Dying: Balancing Work and Family
After the conference ended, I made my way to the Springfield National Cemetery to pay my respects to Jack Williams. While I don’t know Jack, I know about him. He was a former FFA member from Arkansas who was killed in World War II. He was a Medal of Honor recipient and was featured in one of my Friday Footnotes.
Looking forward to getting back in North Carolina late on Friday.
