So yesterday marked the start of National 4-H Week, which means... this is one of my favorite weeks of the year.
For those of you who read this and don't know what 4-H is, it is a program that originally started as a way for kids who lived on farms to show and compete with the agricultural products and animals that they raised. Since then it has branched out to have a project for pretty much anything you can think of. I have been incredibly involved in the program since I was 5 years old and it has been the source for all of the good things I have done so far in my life. Honestly, I could go on about how much I love this program and how much it has done for me as a person for days. It is such an amazing organization and I firmly believe that every single kid on this earth can benefit from at least something that it offers.
Obviously, it means a lot to me. like... more than you could ever begin to comprehend. And I am currently working on a project that will allow me to give back to the program that has given me so much throughout my life. And it is all because this year is the 100th anniversary of 4-H in California. It's big, like crazy big. But I'm still not exactly ready to mention it to the public quite yet, so I'm sorry that this is the second time that I have brought it up and refuse to say anything any less ambiguous. That will change sooner or later. I promise. And guaranteed there will be a very lengthy post over my excitement with the whole ordeal. So you can have that to look forward to. It will be great! :)
Speaking of things I need to work on, I need to get started on my application for the National 4-H Leadership Conference... I have way to many things on my to do list these days.
