Special 4-H memory/highlight: Getting the opportunity to drive our team of horses at fair with my Grandpa Terry Moore the very first time I did 4-Wheel Wagon Hitch Class and playing cards with my friends in the horse barn.

“I’ve had the opportunity to serve as vice president of our club for multiple years. 4-H has taught me many things about volunteering, leadership and the value of teamwork through both people and animals. One thing I love about 4-H is the network of friendships you build and possibilities to learn new things and grow.”

Future plans: Attend Southeastern Illinois College, (AAS) outfitters wildlife management program, then police academy training with plans to become a conservation officer. I’ve also signed my National Letter of Intent to shoot archery for collegiate archery team.
