By Gracie Tindell

Hello, my name is Gracie Tindell, I am a 7th grader in Union County. I was able to attend the fashion and design conference at the UT campus n June with fellow Union County 4-Her Khilee Cochran. We spent the day with other
4-H'ers from surrounding counties. We had many projects to accomplish in our time at fashion and design. There were teachers attending who are experienced in the fashion and design industry. They were able to speak on many different topics and give us insights.

There once was a man who said he was going to have his patience tested. (I was positive from his demeanor that he would test negative.)

Perhaps this comes as a natural part of the aging process. Having never been in my upper 50s before, I have no frame of reference.
