Wow! Conference is here!! Over a year ago, I was anxious and nervous because I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Now, as I pack for my last state council commitment, I reflect on such a great year the team and I have had. Last year all during conference, I just kept saying to myself, “I have to live up to that!” Being able to wear the state council attire is just a privilege within itself.
Throughout my term on council, I was able to attend several events I’ve never been able to make it to before. My personal favorites would be the State Council Training Weekend, usually a week or two after conference. It was the team’s first chance to actually get to know each other on a more personal level, which is great because you spend a lot of time with everyone. State Days is pretty high up there too. It was my first time ever taking part in something I always hear so much about. It was a blast to get to meet so many 4-Her’s, then be able to hand them their awards for doing so well in the category.
As I look back at what council taught me the most, I would have to say responsibility, maturity, and definitely time- management. Throughout the year, the team and I have had more jobs than just attend events, we have to go out and talk to, and meet with as many people we can. We are the ones spreading the word about all the great opportunities 4-H has to offer. Each month we keep track of what we’ve done by completing a monthly report as well as keeping you all up to date with our blogs.
Council is more than just being chosen to represent Pennsylvania 4-H, council is becoming a family. Everyone pulls together and does his or her part. My team and I have had a blast and we hope that the incoming team has a great year too.
Yours truly,
Emily Gabriel
