I was in 4-H, starting as a fourth grader making a gingham bambuska (scarf). Also participated in the speech rally "Silly as a Goose" was my first speech. I learned so much in 4-H from my wonderful teachers who were committed to this extra-curricular activity... Mrs. Youngblood, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Sedivy and Mrs. Wiliams. I became well acquainted with the "seam ripper" because not doing it right was not an option! The lessons I learned from them have stayed with me all my life, not just in sewing and cooking, but in always trying to do my best and learning from my mistakes.
