It's National 4-H Week. As a former 4-H member I often credit my involvement in 4-H projects to having gone on to college to get both an undergraduate and graduate degree. Being involved in the horse project - where I actively participated in regional, state, and national demonstration and public speaking competitions lead me to pursue a career in journalism.
Being a 4-Her is much more then completing sewing project for spring review, or taking your horse to fair - it teaches our youth responsibility and follow-through which is crucial in today's world.
I am sure that without 4-H in my life I would have pursued a different path in life. I hold dear the many great memories of going to fair, 4-H exploration days at MSU, and the many great leaders I had over the years.
