It's my last day in D.C. and I'm really sad to leave. I made a lot of great friends this week from around the nation, and have already planned out a few road trips for the summer. At the conference I had the opportunity to exchange ideas about 4-H with 43 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada. One idea that we came up with was to hold a "4-H Healthy Living"Conference in our home states where 4-Her's would be able to compete in sporting events and learn how to eat and live healthier. I also had the opportunity to meet with my state legislators, including Congressman Glenn Thompson. At my meeting with Congressman Glenn Thompson, we discussed 4-H in the Commonwealth, and how it could be improved. Congressman Thompson also informed us that he was once a member of his local 4-H in his hometown in Pennsylvania. This conference was a real blast, and it was very educational and inspiring. I highly reccomend any 4-Her's to apply to this program and go in the upcoming years.
