The FBLA club is a very good club and a lot of students at Childersburg Middle School a lot of them have join the club, and the ones that didn’t join are the ones that are now wishing that they would have joined the club because they realize how much effort and positive attitudes go into this club to keep the flow going. The FBLA club is a very good club to be a part of and most members really enjoy their time while being in this club. Back to Room 1

11. About the Members The members of the FBAL club are the ones that keep the club going. The members are the students that enjoy putting their best effort into trying to meet their standards and to keep their grades up just so they can stay in the FBLA club. A lot of the students love being in the club and love being a part of the club as well. The members also love their instructor which is Mrs. Kim Knight. She is a very good instructor with managing and keeping the club in top shape and making sure that the members are happy. Back to Room 2

12. About the Officers of FBLA The officers of the FBLA club are pretty much the ones that keep the club together as a team or in this particular matter a club. They are only in charge of certain things, but with the major things like getting all the money for the field trip and talking to the principal about what they are allowed to do and what they can not do is up to the head instructor which in my case is Kim Knight. She is the one that is over the president, vice president, secretary, historian, and parlimetarian. She gets the information that they need to know from the principal and tells the president and it is their job to get it to the rest of the officers and soon when the officers get everything settled down they will tell the other members. The officers are equal to all the other members of the club; they just have a little bit more responsibility. The officers of the FBLA club I am in is on the next slide. Back to Room 2

13. Why the Members are important to the club? The members to the club of FBLA are very important because the members are the ones that make up the club. The members are the ones that put a very positive effort into the school that they attend and how they learn to use the skills that learned in the club. It is also important to have a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, historian, and a parlimetarian. In my club the officers are: BRIANA MCNEEL - PRESIDENT TEASIA ODEN - VICE-PRESIDENT JORDAN LUCAS - SECRETARY COREY MCCLAIN - TREASURER KANEESHA SAWYER - HISTORIAN MICHAEL SIMMONS - PARLIMETARIAN Back to Room 2

14. The CNN Trip The students that went on the CNN trip is the ones that learned about the news that they see almost every morning. A couple of things I learned is that if you want to a lot about CNN you should go to the Atlanta, Georgia CNN headquarters. I learned that the CNN workers have certain places where they do certain things. They have one room which they call the green room. The reason they call it the green room is because when they are showing the weather and what direction the storm or any other kind of weather is going there is actually a green screen that they have and the weather instructor has to stand in front of the screen and they just make their hands in a circular motion, because they don’t see what we see they only see a green screen while we see moving storms and any other weather. They weather instructor has to be careful about what they wear they cannot wear a green or on the television it will appear that the instructor is naked. Back to Room 3

15. The Federal Reserve Bank Trip The Federal Reserve Bank let the students that goes to the bank learn a lot about the bank and how our money is made and how you would know if the money is fake or not. I learned that you would can find out if money is real our not and how you do that is you put the dollar bill up to the light and see if you see a kind of faded face on the right side of the dollar bill and you also look on the left side and see if you see a small line that says what ever number of the dollar that is in your hand and it should say either five, ten, twenty, fifty, or one hundred. I also learned that there are very amazing artist that makes the drawings of the presidents on the dollar bills and the back of the dollar bill. It takes a very long time to make the engravings on the dollar bills that is why the artist are usually people that are very patient. Back to Room 3

16. What the trips allow the students to learn The trips that FBLA club takes allow the students to learn about well it depends on what trip you go on. For example our school went a trip that included to major buildings. The buildings were the Federal Reserve Bank and The CNN company in Atlanta. The trip allowed me to learn about the money that we use everyday and every since I went to that Bank I look at money a completely different way now. So the trips can really make an impact on certain members. On the CNN trip I learned a lot of things that people watching the news will probably never suspect in years, but I am really not going to talk about this much because I rarely watch the news. Back to Room 3

17. How FBLA helps with Careers The FBLA club helps with careers because it shows them how to work with things and it shows them how to use certain things. In the club name is what basically answers the question in the name of the club. The F stands for Future, the B stands for Business, the L stands for Leaders, and the A stands for America. So the name of the FBLA club basically helps you understand why the FBLA club helps with helping students and members choose the right career for them. Back to Room 4

18. How FBLA helps students choose Careers The FBLA club helps the members or students while in the years of being a member of the club the members will learn how they work with certain things and what they like and they try to find out what kind of career that best suits their skills. Like someone that works well with teeth will become a dentist. Members that work well with their hands and have good creativity will like to build and design houses for others at whatever price they want it to be. FBLA help the members find their skills and it helps them improve on their skills. Back to Room 4

19. What most students prefer as a career Most students and members prefer that they can get a career that they love doing. You see most people don’t like to work and manage a job that they do not like or want to have anything to do with it. Nope, most students would like to find out what they are good at and work everyday to improve on how they can get better at a certain job or career. Most members would love to work their dream job or career, and if you have someone in your family that works their dream job ask them how their job makes them feel everyday. Back to Room 4
