Faith Holbrook: "I can't imagine my life without 4-H!"

4-H is absolutely wonderful! My name is Faith Holbrook and I am 15 years old.  I couldn’t wait to turn 9 so I could be in 4-H like my older brother and sister. 

2014 will be my sixth year and I love what I have learned in the past and am excited about doing so much more in the next few years. 4-H encourages cool ways to learn in a lot of different projects.
