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

“Throughout my 9 years in 4-H I have learned more life lessons than I can count. One that has always been present, no matter the age, is responsibility. Taking care of livestock is no easy or temporary task. You must wake up early and go to bed late sometimes and that’s not always fun, but it’s one of the most important experiences you will take with you for the rest of your life.”

Future plans: Attend the University of Iowa in the fall and apply to their Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program (DMS)
