4H is an amazing thing. You get to go on all these trips, meet awesome people who you can have long lasting friendships with. But not only that, but 4H is just a great way to be involved in something. It teaches you about responsibility and in some ways it can teach you about leadership and a lot more. Without 4H I wouldn't have met any of these guys or any of my other amazing friends from all over the county. If you get the chance to do 4H and go on any of these trips, do it. It's scary at first, especially if you're the only one and you don't know anyone. But once you get to know everyone, you'll have a blast and you won't regret it. It's an amazing experience and in some ways, it's life changing. If you have any questions about 4H or the trips or how to get involved or just anything, don't be afraid to ask! #missyouall #seeyousoon #bestfriendsforever #lifelongfriends #4H 4-H MEMBER TESTIMONIAL
