Map out a plan, and work out short. intermediate and long term goals, write them down and read them every now and then. Learn to talk about your goals to your family. your boy-friend, your friends. Try to model yourself after someone you admire. making certain however, you model yourself for the strong points not for the whole person. Keep as many doors open as possible for as long as you can. Do not be head strong. plan alternatives knowing with alternatives in mind you will never come to a dead-end. Believe in yourself and develop a habit and belief that team-work is essential for a successful life. Stop and ask yourself. are you getting enough out of 4-H? Are you giving 4-H enough? The session closed with Mr. Knox emphasizing the need for goal-setting. knowing where you‘re headed but cautioning. this doesn‘t necessarily mean you know the end results. Go home knowing you are a leader, remembering leadership is earned not given. Guest speaker. Mr. Ken Knox, Associate Director of the Extension Branch. OMAF is pictured with L‘r Saran Deitman.
