Dateline: December, 2007
OUR
CHARTER CHAPTER OF BPA, THE “DOBIE DISTINGUISHED DIPLOMATS”, IS
THE FIRST ONE AT DOBIE. I WANTED A NAME THAT WOULD REPRESENT
THE GOALS OF THE CHAPTER. IN WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY, A DIPLOMAT
IS DEFINED AS A PERSON WHO IS EMPLOYED OR SKILLED I N DIPLOMACY;
WHICH IS THE ART AND PRACTICE OF CONDUCTING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN
NATIONS OR PEOPLE BY USING KNOWLEDGE, CHARM, TACT AND SKILLS TO
REACH RECONCILIATION; ESPECIALLY IN TIMES OF CONFLICT OR
COMPETITION. AS DIPLOMATS, OUR GOAL IS TO LEARN TO COMPETE WITH
HONOR AND DISTINCTION; WHILE USING OUR KNOWLEDGE, CHARM AND
BUSINESS SKILLS. TO BE “DISTINGUISHED” MEANS TO BE MARKED BY
EMINENCE, DISTINCTION, OR EXCELLENCE. THEREFORE, OUR GOAL IS
FOR OUR CHAPTER MEMBERS TO REPRESENT DOBIE WITH DISTINCTION,
DIPLOMACY, AND DEDICATION TO EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE ENDEAVOR TO
DO. I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE THE FOLLOWING BPA MEMBERS WHO
TOOK ON THE CHALLENGE TO COMPETE:
6TH GRADE:
CHELCY HICKS AND CRAYVON STRIPLING

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, I

CONFERENCE FACILITATOR/JUDGE, BOTH COMMENTED ON HOW WELL BEHAVED
THE STUDENTS WERE THROUGHOUT THE COMPETITION; JUST TALKING WILL
DISQUALIFY YOU DURING COMPETITIONS; AND THERE WERE STUDENTS
DISQUALIFIED FOR THAT REASON. SO, NOW WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE
NEXT LEVEL OF COMPETITION – THE STATE CONFERENCE IN DALLAS,
