4-H Story - write your story in space provided below
Provide a story/extended response below about your year in 4-H. Tell what you learned this year and whether you were able to meet your
goals listed on the first page. Tell what you liked best about your year in 4-H and what you’d like to do next year. MINIMUM OF ONE
PARAGRAPH (4-5 sentences)
EX: This year I learned to plant and grow vegetables in our garden. I got to plant carrots, potatoes, sweet corn, and green beans. I was
really excited about the sweet corn because it is my favorite vegetable! Some of the hot days I had to be sure to go out and water the
garden. I think I met my goal of learning to plant and care for vegetables. I liked showing my vegetables at the Fair the best. Next year I
hope to plant some different things in my garden and might try strawberries.
This year I learned to raise a pig, grow vegetables, and make some neat art
projects. I think I was able to complete each of my goals.
I had a small garden and planted corn, green beans, and potatoes. The sweet
corn was my favorite because I love corn on the cob! I got a Yorkshire barrow
from my uncle and learned to wash him and feed him. I also got to show him
and he was a little frisky in the show ring. I got to make different art projects
and used Sculpey clay to make a dinosaur. It was pretty easy to use and it
turned out good.
I like showing my projects at the Fair best and also when our club had a
bowling party. I also did a SPIN club on Robotics in the summer which was
fun. The other thing I liked a lot was the county 4-H trivia contest.
Next year I hope to plant some different vegetables in my garden and try some
different art projects. I also want to go to 4-H Camp.
