Please write a few complete sentences about what you learned in 4-H, or why others should join 4-H.

“One of the main things I learned was how to keep records and preparing my record book. While it isn't the funnest projects to do it is important as I learned a lot from it. Keeping good records is really important. When I did my static projects, I learned how to take the feedback from the judges and apply it to my next project to make it better. Learning from all my projects was really important.”
