Dr. Laymon had students energized, engaged, and relating to his message. He told students and advisers that the real motivation comes from within. From wanting more. From needing to do better. From believing you deserve better. From “Maximize Your Moment!” From knowing “You Can!” From knowing “You’re the BOMB!”The FCCLA Conference began Sunday with the Opening Session. Senior Member Brooke Forbes represented the Plainview Chapter as she carried the Plainview banner across the stage in the Parade of Chapters.  Shayla Jacobsen participated in the Senior Signing, declaring her intent to study Early Childhood Education at Northeast Community College. The keynote speaker was Dr. Laymon Hicks. He shared his troubled teen years, surrounded by drama, battling with feelings of abandonment, lured by peer pressure into becoming a bully to his ultimate expulsion from the National Honor Society and descent into depression, Dr. Laymon put it all on the table. His own path, from troubled youth to graduating high school with a 4.0-grade point average to obtaining a doctorate by the age of 29.
