Why should others join 4-H or what is something you've learned:

'As a 4-Her I met new people and was able to try new things that I might not normally have,” said Meghan. 'It allowed me and kind of forced me to step out of my comfort zone and gave me confidence. 4-H helped me develop more people skills and helped me see where my community needed help and how best to help others around me.”

Future plans: I plan on attending the University of Iowa to study in Pediatric Nursing or Criminal Justice to become a Police Officer. I plan on participating in ROTC and joining the military.
