I used my head to organize 4-H’ers for the Vietnam moving Wall to visit Tifton.  This is just one example of how 4-H has helped me develop my Head and my Heart.”  When asked what she wished other knew about 4-H, DeAnn responded ” That 4-H is not just about the work involved with projects, judging teams and portfolios, but that it is about people. In 4-H, you make many friends from all over the state. 4-H is for everyone, not just a certain clique“.  DeAnn plans to continue her education and pursue a career as either a teacher or a physical therapist.
