Hi I'm E.
At first, I didn't want to join
4-H. All it meant to me was fundraising and raising animals for the fair, only
to sell them to a stranger to be eaten! It seemed cruel, but that is not what
4-H is.
Then I found out about the other
projects such as cooking, sewing, floral arranging, porcelain doll making, etc.
I also learned that you don't have to sell your animals at the end of the year.
After that I joined Bonita 4-H and
became recording secretary at the end of the year.
One of my favorite projects is
cooking. We cook meals with some help from our project leader. Then we eat what
we've made. I have been in this project for two years. Some of the things we
have made are chicken pasta primavera, tacos, and lasagna.
All in all, 4-H is much more than a
lot of kids running around in whites at the fair.
