7 My 4-H Story 2 pages In your own words, tell about yourself, your project work, leadership and citizenship eperiences and highlights of the 4-H year. My name is John Smith and I have been in 4-H for 3 years. This year, I started a new project, Poultry. I went to the Dog Trades and bought 6 chickens. I fed, watered them and gathered the eggs every day. I learned that I could make money with chickens. Since I started raising chickens, I have also been buying and selling chickens. My second project is food and nutrition. I receive a challenge every month and so far I have made pumpkin pie, smoothis, tater tot casserole, apple salad, green beans and pizza. I love to cook and some day hope to be a chef in a major restaurant.
