EDITORIAL
Reflection is an important part of the “Learn To Do By Doing” process. It is with
refection on your successes and your mistakes that helps you learn. You need to
determine what went well and what could have gone better. Then you move forward.
The Prince Edward 4-H Association reflected on their previous Milk Shake Booths to
decide on the design of their new Milk Shake Booth. Lindsay Oxby reflects on how her
4-H Clubs helped her get into one of the hardest Veterinary schools in Canada. Ken
Knox, a 4-H Alumni, reflects on his goals regularly to ensure success. Reflection is
also a timely topic as 2011 comes to a close. Take a moment to reflect on what you’ve
learned this year and how your actions speak to your character. Chances are, if you
are a past or present 4-H’r, your actions have been ones of contribution.
