OFI 1966: Bringing Smiles To Teachers Faces | FFA SAE Edition | Mya Ibarra | Tri-Valley Central High School FFA
Mya Ibarra is a junior in high school and the historian of her FFA Chapter. She is also an amazing human. Coming from a non-agricultural background, she was enticed into an FFA meeting by pizza when she was in the 7th Grade. Since then, she has become very involved and things have taken off for her. She also plays three sports, including basketball, and she had never shot a basketball prior to going out for the team during her sophomore year! If that is not enough, she has aspirations of becoming a physician, and science and math are her strongest subjects! When it came time to develop an SAE, Mya gave it some serious thought. She looked around and thought about the teachers she had throughout her school life so far and realized how much work they put in, even at home. Mya believes that teachers are under appreciated, so she decided to start a subscription flower service to bring smiles to their faces. Mya began purchasing flowers from a farm about 45 minutes away and selling monthly subscription services to teachers and staff at her school at a very low cost. She doesn't have any profit motive. She simply wants to brighten the day of these great women and men. So, she charges only $5/month, just enough to cover her costs and allow her to continue providing flowers to these folks! |
