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

“Throughout my years in 4-H I have learned a lot and experienced even more. I believe that 4-H gave me the encouragement and help to do what I truly love. This is because 4-H pushed me to work on my projects even when I didn't want to and helped me succeed at the goal I had set for myself.”

Future plans: I plan to attend the University of Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I plan to major in either Ag Business or Ag Marketing and will have a minor in animal science.
