Special 4-H Memory: One of my 4-H highlights has been growing as a team through crop scouting! Practicing teamwork, problem solving, and preparing for competition has taught me the value of communication and confidence. This past year our hard work paid off with a third place finish at the state competition, an achievement that showed me how dedication can turn skills into success!

Reflection on 4-H: “Through my time in 4-H, I learned how to step out of my comfort zone and take risks. I have been given so many incredible opportunities to grow as a person and gain new skills. I would not be in the place I am today if I had not chosen to take advantage of them.”

Other Activities: Silver Cord, Student Council, FFA, Trapshooting, Archery, National Honor Society

Future Plans: I plan to attend Iowa State University this fall with a major in agronomy.
