Accomplishments
- I participated in 4-H for my county for ten years. Four of those years, I was President of my 4-H club. Being President taught me great respect for authority figures, personal and public property, and individuals of all backgrounds. My time spent in 4-H also taught me how to be responsible with time management, leadership skills, and how to keep farm animals under my own care happy, healthy, and clean at all times.
Affiliations
- The same time I was participating in 4-H, I also applied myself to the organization United States Naval Sea Cadets for five years. How to be a leader, self defense, and marching in a large group were the top three things I took away from this incredible experience that I can predominately apply to my everyday life. This organization shaped me to be a respectful, dedicated, and hardworking individual moving forward in new opportunities, and continue to do so in my current life now.
