With the knowledge and skills 4-H has given me, I find it easy to express my ideas to others and to learn more about one’s interests and lifestyles,” and “4-H has showed me so many ways where I can make a positive impact in my life and the lives of others in my community.  By working to serve others, I can be thankful that I had the skills and talents to improve someone else’s situation.”  Day wishes others knew “4-H is an organization where one can participate and become involved no matter who you are! Now I feel that I can succeed no matter where I am or what is required of me!”   Currently, Ashleigh plans to attend Macon State College for the 2009-2010 school year, then transfer to Berry College to major in Animal Science.  Congratulations to Ashleigh Day from Peach County, this week’s Fantastic 4-H’er!  To read more, visit:  http://www.georgia4h.org/fantastic4her/default.htm
