Our third 4 -H meeting. Was held at Helen’s. We welcomed five new 4-h member to our club; Nolan, Dillon, Logan, Brandon and Becka. Our club now has eleven members and seems to grow with every meeting. We did Pledges and regular business, talked about what we would like to learn. Handed out fliers about a 4-H meeting at the Valley Country Store in Jerome.
We had a guest speaker Mr. Jim R. He told us about his experiences in 4-H, and how what you learn in 4-h will follow you through your life and the importance of giving your all in what ever you do.
THE 4-H PLEDGE
I pledge
my Head to clearer thinking,
my Heart to greater loyalty,
my Hands to larger service, and
my Health to better living,
for my club, my community,
my country, and my world.
Life On The Farm As The Years Fly Bye
We All Learn At a Different Pace
What did I learn about myself through my 4-H participation?
I learned that it is not easy to be 16 and on the edge of adulthood.
Head - to clear thinking, when giving your word to someone, think about how it will affect your heart if you buckle to peer pressure and go against your morals and ethics .
Heart - to greater loyalty; loyalty is something that is given freely and cannot be demanded or forced upon someone.
Hands - to larger service, you can only do what you feel is right and work hard to achieve your goals.
Health - to better living; if your word is your honor, and you stand fast to your morals and ethics; loyalty will come to you freely, your goals will be realized, and you will make a difference in the world around you.
I love 4-H !
Peer pressure is one of the hardest things we face; stay true to yourself no matter how hard it is and make a difference!
