Congratulations to Brianna, who is one of the 4-H members awarded a scholarship from the Grays Harbor 4-H Council this year! Included below is an excerpt from Brianna’s 4-H story, in her own words:
“Due to 4-H I have become a more outgoing person with better leadership skills compared to years ago. I also highly believe that due to 4-H I am pursuing a career in education. Through 4-H I was able to discover my love for teaching and working with children. Both in my life today and in the future, I will be able to exercise the knowledge and skills I have learned through 4-H and extend these into my community.”
“Through my twelve years of 4-H I have mainly been involved in the rabbit and cavy program in the Brady Bunch 4-H Club. My main responsibility during my project was to take care of my animals while also helping those around me. Most recently I have taken a position in my club as the president. This position has helped me exercise the leadership skills and various knowledge I have gained throughout 4-H has greatly contributed to my personal growth.”
Congratulations to Emma, who is one of the 4-H members awarded a scholarship from the Grays Harbor 4-H Council this year! Included below is an excerpt from Emma’s 4-H story, in her own words:
“Let me introduce myself, my name is Emma, and I’m graduating from Elma High School and Grays Harbor Community College with my AA this year. I aim to work with animals or be a paramedic one day. I have lived in Grays Harbor my whole life and have been fortunate to grow up on a family farm. I joined 4-H when I was eight. Over the years, I have shown a variety of species. I have also held carious office positions, the latest being president.”
“I know that 4-H has shaped me into the person I am today. I am grateful for the opportunities that 4-H has provided me. One of my goals is to attend WSU this fall to obtain a Bachelor’s in Animal Science or Fire Science. I then plan to return to my rural community and give back either in a field dealing with animals or becoming a firefighter paramedic. Both fields are needed and would be much appreciated in my community. I have a strong passion and desire to contribute to my community in a positive way. “
