It has been very rewarding to see a change in my community that I helped to facilitate. We also raised money for a shade awning at a local pound. I have also assisted my club in raising money so that a veteran was able to get a service dog. Through my club, I have raised funds for the Torrington Police Department for a K-9 bullet-proof vest. Throughout my 4-H career, I have had many rewarding experiences, such as becoming involved in my community. Through 4-H I learned that no matter what I set as my goal, I will attain something. I would achieve the ability to say “I’ll try again next year”, when I didn’t get voted into the officer position that I hoped for. I would achieve the ability to say “Congratulations” to someone when they won the prize that I set as my goal. 4-H has taught me that I didn’t have to achieve my goal as long as I tried my hardest, I was still achieving something, even if it wasn’t what I hoped for. I used to think that because I had a goal, I had to achieve it, even if it was a minor goal. Through 4-H, I have set many goals related to my project and my community. I never imagined that when I joined 4-H, I would meet some of the best people in the world that would help me to grow as a leader in my community. I had no idea that I would learn leadership, citizenship and public speaking skills that I would apply to many situations both in and out of 4-H. When I joined 4-H 5 years ago, I thought that I would just be learning about animals.
