Being chosen to attend the 4-H Congress trip as a representative of Union County was a great honor. On the trip, my sister and I experienced citizenship and leadership firsthand as we met our state Representative, Senator, and Governor at the Capitol.
When the buses filled with top-performing 4-H’ers from all over the state first arrived in Nashville, the excitement was contagious! Once we all checked in and received our iconic dark green 4-H sweaters, we headed to a conference room where stations were set up for us to explore fun facts about our state and our county’s leaders. We also played trivia games and wrote thank-you cards to our 4-H agents for making this trip possible.
