Who are you, and how long have you been in 4-H?

My name is Sophia Sexton, and I've been a part of 4-H since I was four years old.

What is 4-H?

The 4-H's stand for Head, Heart, Hands, and Health. 4-H is a youth organization that develops life skills through project-based learning.

How are you involved in 4-H?

I'm involved in 4-H in many ways. I'm the president of my 4-H club, a Parker County ambassador, and a Texas State STEM ambassador. My main projects are food nutrition and public health speaking, and I compete in a lot of contests through those projects. I also teach STEM and food nutrition classes to the Parker County youth, and I love it so much.

How do you show your love of the land through 4-H? 

I show my love of the land through 4-H by teaching our youth about the environment by leading workshops about energy and water conservation. I also am really involved with community service, and I do yard cleanings and city beautifications all the time. I'm forever thankful for 4-H for giving me so many opportunities that are going to prepare me for the next chapters of my life.

What do you think about Twisted X partnering with 4-H for the 4-H collection?

I'm so excited about the collaboration between 4-H and Twisted X. My fellow 4-Her's and I already wear Twisted X because they have a lot of different styles so there's something for everyone, whether you're in the barn or at a contest. 4-H and Twisted X also share a lot of the same values. As a 4-Her, we pledge our head, heart, hands, and health to the betterment of our world, and Twisted X does the same with their eco-friendly practices.
