The 4-H program has impacted my life in many ways; first it has allowed me to discover and nurture my passion for serving children in foster care, as well as, their families. In addition, I have gained the skill of public speaking, especially extemporaneous speeches, as well as, learning to set and reach goals; rand ealizing that "mistakes are proof that you are trying." In addition, I have learned the power of true friendship and can truly say my 4-H friends are also my family. This amazing program has shown me that I lead best by inspiration; by inspiring others to go above and beyond their comfort zone and to not be afraid of failure. I began 4-H as a high school sophomore afraid of everyone, from the cashier at the store, to my teacher

    My 4-H Experiences

    I have gained several skills though my 4-H experiences that I will utilize later in my life. 4-H first taught me, through my projects, time management, responsibility, and patience. I learned that starting the project just days before the fair was not ideal and caused significant stress and the possibility of having a project that I would have like to expand on. I also had to learn how to balance finishing my projects, school work, chores, and social life. With my livestock projects I learned responsibility from a young age.…

    Childhood Health Promotion

    Childhood health promotion is one of the top concerns in the United States. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of overweight and obese children. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the last thirty years (CDC, 2015). Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cancer, and osteoarthritis. One study showed that children who became obese as early as age 2 were more likely to be obese as adults CDC, 2015).…

    Personal Narrative: My Third Year As A Student At Benedictine University

    It pushed me to become more active at school and outside in my environment. I truly believed that all of these volunteer and leadership experiences boosted up my character as an individual. One specific factor is that I am definitely not as timid with talking to a large student body in public. I used to be very shy and hesitant to speak my mind in front of a large group due to a fear that others would judge me. However, I soon learned that those issues do not matter and now I know how to professionally handle those situations of me speaking in front of a large crowd.…

    Boy Scouts Influenced My Life

    For a large part of my life, I have been a part of an association of young men who strive to achieve more than the standards in life. These young men learn an abundance of skills and traits that set them apart from society. This group is known as Boy Scouts has been a massive influence for me and has developed me into the person I have become today. Going from when I was young and was learning how to build a fire, tie knots, or teaching me leadership skills, Scouting has refined me into a more confident and stronger person.

    Example Of A Personal Statement Analysis

    I was also in 4-H, a club where you can do pretty much anything. I was involved in Archery, where yes, we learned more than to shoot at a target. I learned showmanship, respect, leadership, and responsibility. We also learned to be nice and friendly, because some people aren’t as skilled as you, doesn’t mean that they can’t get there, and maybe if you help them they can succeed like you. This year, 2015-16, I joined FCCLA, which I regrettably wish I had joined sooner.…
