What is your 4-H project?
“My project used to be childcare and goats, but that was level I, and when I won that level, I now have to compete at level II. My current project is advanced agriculture and family consumer sciences including raising and showing Boer goats, raising Corgi puppies and gardening.”
How did you get started with 4-H?
“I was recruited by one of my friends from a different school. She showed goats, and my sister and I became the first in our Club to show goats.”
Favorite 4-H Moment and Awards: “One of my favorite moments is winning first in Level I at State where I won $1,000 for my record book. I also made Premium Sale at the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the largest junior livestock show in the world, but we opted out for $250 so I could bring my goat home to breed for future show does. I’ve also enjoyed being an ambassador and winning 14 belt buckles for showmanship. I was also inducted into Key Club membership this summer and will continue to give workshops on a large variety of topics.”
What do you like about showing?
“I love going to different places and meeting different people. I make a lot of friends that I keep in touch with through Facebook, camps, texting and phone calls. I am very competitive and want to learn when I don’t win. That way maybe I’ll win the next time. The more you show, the better you get.”
What is your long-term goal?
“I want to be a speech pathologist in order to give back to the community for all the help it’s given me.”
