This time last year my knowledge of Business Professionals of America was very small. To say it has grown would be an understatement. Over the last year I’ve learned so much about the organization, and I’ve learned so much about myself. I used to be very insecure and not confident in myself, but being a state officer has completely changed my perspective. Being a state officer truly proved to me that I can do anything I set my mind to. I will always be thankful for the opportunity to serve as Oklahoma BPA’s State Parliamentarian. I have loved every minute of my officer term, even though a lot of the time it was very hard work, I wouldn’t trade the opportunity and the memories for anything. I will always be thankful for the people who supported me along the way. My advisor, Mrs. Frank for seeing my potential and always pushing me to be my best. I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Mrs. Cavin, for being a great state advisor, always being willing to help, and for still making it a memorable year despite the craziness. My parents, for always being amazing and supportive in everything that I do.  The rest of my team, Jessie, Mason, Jacob, Hussain, Karson, and Nathan. But most of all, thank you Oklahoma BPA.
