She says, "The leadership role that has meant the most to me is conducting the Share the Fun and Fashion Revue as a County Council officer.

4-H'er participating motivated to do their best and have a good experience."

Amanda would like to be an officer "so I can continue to take on a higher leadership role and be a good role model for younger 4-H'ers. There isn't anything I love more than helping younger 4-H'ers with their projects. It puts a smile on my face and warms my heart to see a 4-H'er succeed!"

It really helped my leadership. I would like to be an officer because I have great determination and am very motivating, not to forget I love helping other people."

Cheyenne's favorite 4-H projects are Beef Cattle, Sewing and Cooking. She says, "The 4-H activity that has meant the most to me was a community service project. My club cleaned up an old cemetery that needed a lot of TLC. The man, who we cleaned it up for, was so happy and you could really tell it was a big load off of his shoulders." Other activities other than 4-H that Cheyenne is involved in are: Prairie Grove FFA, where she has participated in almost every activity her chapter does, Opening/Closing Ceremonies Team, Livestock Judging Team, and she was Star Greenhand.

Not only have I got to work with 4-H'ers and 4-H parents throughout the county, but I also have had the opportunity to get to know and work with the Extension staff in the office. Planning county events has been, what I think, a very fun responsibility. I would love to have this opportunity again."

They were great role models, always willing to help others and conducted themselves in a manner that I wanted to imitate. I have served the county 4-H'ers for the last two years as a County Council officer. I have enjoyed serving and would love to continue serving Washington County. I enjoy helping others and try to always have the time to step up and help or even answer a question or two. Again, I am thankful for being allowed to serve over the last two years and would like to continue serving Washington County 4-H'ers."
