Yesterday, while I was at school, my pigs decided to rip their water buckets and food bucket off of the walls as well as bend the gate. Luckily the hose wasn't frozen when I got home. Last night they decided to do it again so now I'm staying home from school to repair a pig pen. The water hose and pipes are frozen so it'll probably be about 2 or 3 by the time I can make myself useful so here I am with a little rant for you guys. First off, my high school doesn't have a big agriculture program. We have 1 greenhouse and 1 show animal(mine) in the entire county's FFA. We have a new ag teacher this year. She's fresh out of college, first year teaching and all that. She really is great. But students have a tendency to take advantage of her. We have 11 people total on our junior and senior officer teams. I, the sentinel for the senior team, and about two other people are the only ones who show up for meetings, events, etc. I have tried every event and competition and taken every opportunity given to me and succeeded in all of them. I find it odd that I have to hold authority in the meetings, that I have to take on the roll of president and other officers in ceremonies because THEY DON'T SHOW UP. Every Wednesday morning we have a senior officer meeting in the ag room at 7:30. The secretary and I are always there on time. About 8:00 maybe 8:05 the president and vice president roll in with their bags of breakfast from burger king and immediately disrupt the meeting by goofing off with the secretary, who is fine until they get there. Then at about 8:15 (school starts ar 8:30, by the way), the rest of the team shows up and I am forced to tell them everything I have planned for the next chapter meeting while the president and company continue to goof off. These people back out of everything, show up to nothing, and goof off when they do show up and I'm really sick of it. Some people really want this program to take off but it won't happen with "leaders" like these, you know? Our teacher tries her very hardest to do everything she can for us. She is the best thing that has happened to our school and yet her officers are so disrespectful to her. If they think this is just one big party then they need to quit because they are wasting the time and money of all the people who are invested in this.Thank God it wasn't my teacher that picked the president but the teacher before her. If she had I would've questioned her good sense. I can't wait until elections because I am going to deliver the best interview they have ever seen and when I am president, there's going to be big change with the officer teams. I have spent my every last dime on this program by going to trainings,certifications, events and competitions that no one has supported and I'm done with it being wasted. Now I have to go clean the kitchen...
