Scholarship award.
Presley stated “My whole life has been spent farming and ranching with family and friends. I love to play sports. I have always been active in softball, basketball and rodeo. As I have grown into my high school years, my teammates and I have been very successful on the field and the court. We own horses that we use on the farm, ranch and rodeo…. I have to give credit to our 4H program for all this success. Whether I really knew it or not, 4H has always been a huge part of my life and has made a big impact on me…. 4H has helped me gain knowledge and leadership skills that I will need in the future… I personally believe every kid needs to be involved in 4H, not just the show kids.”
