What 4-H means to me
By Susan Bryan
I began my 4-H work in the fifth
grade. At first, it was just
“something to do”. It has really
become important to me. My work
in my main project, FASHION
REVIEW, has led to my being
selected to serve as a member of the
State 4-H Fashion Board. This has
given me an opportunity to decide

on a career field. I want to go into
Fashion Merchandising.
Choosing a career is not the only
area 4-H has helped me in. Before I
joined, I didn’t enjoy meeting new
people and I refused to speak before
an audience. 4-H aided me in both
of these areas. Now I am able to
speak before large groups of people
and I have made many new friends.
