Where are you going to school and what are you studying?
I am currently attending The Ohio State University at Lima and I am majoring in Analytical Broadcasting and Practice with either a Music or Psychology minor. I am planning on making the campus change [to OSU’s main campus in Columbus] in the fall of 2015. When I get there, the plan is to stay in an apartment with a few of my Lima friends instead of living in a dorm. I already did that at Bowling Green, and I most certainly do not want to do that again.

Head, heart, hands and health are the four Hs of 4-H, the cornerstone values of 4-H and the main elements of the 4-H pledge. These values also comprise the daily living of Amy Spar, one of Ada’s Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H club advisors.
