Members of the Cheyenne Frontier Chapter are given a valuable opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and participate in three key FFA speaking competitions. These events are designed not only to challenge students but also to help them develop essential skills that are beneficial both within the FFA organization and in their personal and professional lives. Through participation, members have the chance to build their public speaking abilities, boost their confidence, and enhance their overall communication skills.  One of the most significant outcomes of participating in FFA speaking competitions is the boost in self-confidence that comes with overcoming the challenges of public speaking. As students prepare for and compete in these events, they are often faced with the task of stepping outside of their comfort zones. Learning to speak with authority, answer difficult questions, and present themselves professionally all contribute to a sense of achievement and self-assurance. Confidence in public speaking is not only useful during competitions—it’s a life skill that transfers to a variety of situations. Students who are comfortable speaking in front of others are more likely to participate in class discussions, advocate for themselves in professional settings, and become effective leaders in their communities. FFA provides a structured and supportive environment for students to practice these skills, making it a critical experience for their personal growth.
