Special 4-H memory/highlight: One of my favorite 4-H memories has been going to the State 4-H Youth Conference for several years now where I have made countless memories and made lifelong friendships across the state.

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

I believe that people should join 4-H and get involved because of the endless opportunities and lessons it provides. From leadership and communication skills, to responsibility, dedication, and more. Being involved in 4-H has allowed me to get outside of my comfort zone and become confident. I have made countless memories and life-long friendships throughout the years!
