According to her application, “The opportunities 4-H has given me to develop critical thinking, interview and group work skills are invaluable. They are skills I have been able to use in school, performing arts, Junior Miss, and many other clubs and organizations,” and “My experiences in 4-H have given me a passion for serving others in my community. It has given me a true love for serving others and for giving back to a community and a world that has supported me and given me so much.”  Abbey tries to tell everyone she knows that 4-H has been the single most influential factor on the person that she is today. “4-H is so much more than just an agricultural club; it truly develops the whole person – the mind, the body and the heart.” .  Abbey is participating in the finals of America’s Junior Miss this week and  plans to attend college at UGA this fall.
