FCCLA Contests

Betulia Molina During my freshman year at North Hopkins High School, I joined FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America), but I didn’t compete till my sophomore year. I was in a group project with Jasmin and Susie for Interior Design. At first we thought “interior design” was just about decorating, but it’s not; designing takes a lot more than just making the inside of a building look pretty. It was kinda stressful getting everything ready for competition; it took us a lot of hard work and dedication to complete our project. The “challenge” for last year was to design and decorate a flower shop. We had to follow a rubric that specified how the judges wanted everything to look. We also had to create a name for the shop and we came up with “Born To Bloom.” We spent almost every day for two months working on our project. We used the app “Floor Planner” to design and decorate our flower shop.
