FBLA Article Activity

From Tomorrow’s Business Leader, Fall 2017, read the article “The Impact FBLA Has Had on
Me” by FBLA Southern Region Vice President Keenan Carter.

Answer the following questions.

1. What service project did Keenan create?

First Sight

2. What is “First Sight?”

A program that gives donated blankets to premature infants in the NICU

3. What business classes did he reference that benefited him in his accomplishment?

Marketing Essentials & Advanced Business Technology Applications

4. What employability and leadership skills did he reference that he has acquired as a result
of being in FBLA?

Public speaking, networking, and communication skills

5. At this point in your high school career, how has FBLA impacted your life? (Please
share in paragraph form, 5-7 sentences.)

I did not join FBLA. I do not know anyone who has joined FBLA. It has not impacted my
life, however I can see how it could have helped me, had I joined. It seems to promote
people to grow into themselves and help them become strong, articulate adults who know
what they want to do in the world. Perhaps I, too, could have grown into an experienced
leader and made an impact on the world. Or perhaps my crippling anxiety would have
made me quit. Who knows.

6. Is there a service project that you would like to see implemented by Lambert FBLA this
year? If so, please explain in detail.
Not particularly.
