I was a shy
dove. A few years ago I was hesitant to present my project on the Battle of
Camden to my small history class. Naturally, going alone to a state event through the
4-H program was completely terrifying for me. However, last August, I stood
in front of everyone at Pennsylvania State Achievement Days and began my term on Pennsylvania State 4-H Council. I became an outgoing
peacock.

I was labeled a “dove” by the
personality test we took at my first state leadership conference, meaning that
I was friendly and loyal, but reserved and quiet. Thanks to my roommate and
current best friend, Rachel, I began to overcome my shyness. From then on, we
attended every state and regional 4-H event we could. Soon I could be seen leading
county council meetings, conducting workshops at camp, and running around
belting out camp songs in my bat suit.
At our state
officer training in September, we took the same personality test. This time I
was a “Peacock”, meaning that I am outgoing, talkative, optimistic, and
enthusiastic. I hope my enthusiasm for 4-H is contagious as I seek to involve
more youth in the program. Through my 4-H experience, I have been transformed
from a shy dove into an outgoing peacock.
