Favorite Part of 4-H: My favorite part of 4-H is seeing the kids
grow through their experiences at the county and state fair
levels.
Life Skills Gained: I have gained lots of patience, caring for and giving to kids throughout the
area. I have gained a better understanding for what some of these kids go through to gain their
success. I realize now what my parents went through when I was in 4-H with all my projects.

Advice to 4-H’ers: Set high goals for yourself and don’t be afraid to try new projects. Never be
satisfied with what you have done and be willing to go that extra mile to help others.
