Special 4-H memory/highlight: My favorite 4-H memory is when my Grandpa from Chicago visited for the county fair and saw me win Overall Grand Champion Rabbit. I also greatly enjoyed the 4-H Intermediate Trip to Kansas City.

What I learned in 4-H: 4-H has had one of the biggest influences on my life. It has taught me lifelong skills, such as communication, responsibility, and leadership abilities. Because I joined 4-H, I am more confident in every aspect of my life.
