Tayla is the daughter of Nate and Becky Wiedeman of Eaton. She is a Senior at Eaton High School and is looking to attend Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX. She plans to major in Agricultural Communications and minoring in Plant and Soil Sciences. With these degrees, she hopes to make a positive impact in the agricultural community by promoting sustainability and finding ways to produce crops with less water without sacrificing yields. Tayla holds a deep passion for agriculture and feels it is necessary to educate the general public on everything that agriculture provides for our world. She feels Agricultural Communications will set up a future for herself that will allow her to be an AG-vocate. Coming from a farming background, she also understands the importance of advancing technologies within agriculture. Plant and Soil sciences gives her an opportunity to dive deeper into developing technologies. These two areas of study combined will allow Tayla to preserve the image of agriculture and continue to find ways to make agriculture more sustainable.
Tayla is an 11-year member of the Country Boots and Skirts 4H Club and her projects included Market Lambs, Breeding sheep and market sheep. The determination that she learned from her years showing lambs, dealing with difficult lamb personalities, facing strange animal illnesses and injuries, and ultimately her personal challenges gave Tayla the motivation to work harder for a successful 4H year. The obstacles faced this past year has provided her with a confidence that even when life looks pretty bleak, being determined will allow her to conquer challenges that life will inevitably throw at her. Tayla had a desire to become more invested into 4H and the opportunities that are available to it’s members from the start. She ran for office within her club, and was elected secretary, treasurer and has been the president of the club for the past four years. Taking on these leadership roles has provided Tayla many opportunities to work with many different personality types and she learned that not one leadership style always works. She also was selected to be a Weld County Junior Livestock Sale Youth Ambassador and has been a part of this group for the past 9 years. These positions has also provided Tayla with the ability to work on her organizational and time management skills.

Ena is the daughter of Craig and Sumiko Gibson of Greeley. She is a Senior at Greeley West High School and is looking to attend the University of Wyoming in Laramie, WY. Her career goal is to go into a career that involves working with wildlife. Whether this be a Wildlife Biologist, a Wildlife Rehabilitator, or other wildlife related field. Ena wants to work with wildlife because she love animals and the environment, and wants to make a difference in the environment through working with wildlife and their habitats. When she learned about this career, she knew it was perfect. It is a great mix of science, independent work, and of course wildlife. Ena got the opportunity this fall to speak with a Colorado Parks and Wildlife worker who explained to her the things they do, and all the different careers related to wildlife within Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Speaking to the Employee confirmed her career goal of becoming a Wildlife Biologist (or related field). She knows life doesn't always go as planned so She knows she may be taken into different career, but all in all I know she wants to work with wildlife. Ena plans to go to college to get a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology and Management, and although she knows college Chemistry will be a challenge, she’ll put in all her effort to do her best and not give up when things get hard. If this means failing the class the first time, taking it again instead of simply giving up and changing majors. She hopes to get hands on experience related to this career through a variety of internships and volunteering so that she can best be prepared and ready to eventually enter her intended career.
Ena is a 9-year member of Westward 4H Club. When she joined 4H nine years ago, she was as shy and quiet as can be. For many years, she spoke to near no one and was terrified to stand up and say her name during introductions at club meetings. This persisted for almost 5 years. However, by 9th grade she began to gain confidence. She believed that as she grew older, she became more comfortable with the people around her. At the time she only participated in the Shooting Sports Project. This meant Ena spent 5 years with the same people. She became comfortable with them and started gaining confidence in herself. A big help in this confidence boost was joining Air Pistol. She ended up having the confidence to nominate herself to be Secretary of her 4H club. It was a perfect way to allow herself to slowly step up in leadership, without pushing herself too far. At the time, she also became Reporter of the Youth Executive Council. Ena knew she had to push herself to make progress, but she also knew she had a limit. These were the two first steps to opening herself up. By Sophomore year, Ena applied to become a Colorado 4H Shooting Sports Ambassador. She knew she loved shooting sports, and this seemed like a perfect way to involve herself in leadership while also pursuing her passion. She was accepted and began the journey of learning public speaking. Throughout her 4H career, Ena has grown immensely in both her confidence and initiative, as well as in her community involvement and professionalism.

Avery is the daughter of Troy and Amy Gray of Greeley. She is a senior at Eaton High School and is planning to attend college studying elementary education. She has chosen to study Elementary Education and become a teacher to make a positive impact on the many students she would have the opportunity to teach. This profession can ignite minds, instill knowledge, and shape the future ever so slightly. Teachers all have the opportunity to inspire and empower young minds, fostering a love for learning that may last a lifetime. By creating a supportive and welcoming learning environment, teachers can help all students overcome their challenges and reach their full potential. No matter the subject it may be; history, math, or literature, the ability to witness the “aha” moments in students is beyond comparable. Having the chance to see the spark of curiosity and knowledge in their eyes and the development they will achieve is so rewarding.
Avery is a 10-year member of Galeton 4H Club. She began her 4H journey in Swine, Cake Decorating, Scrapbooking, and Quilting. The project that was the most inspirational to her was Market Swine. While each project con- tributed to her growth, the Livestock Industry has given Avery many opportunities to learn and grow into who she is today. The importance of showing an animal well and correctly led her to a personal goal of doing well in the showmanship category. She always loved competing in showmanship and seeing growth in her ability to present her animal. Having your animal looking good on a show day doesn't just happen in the show ring. Raising show animals teaches one that there's a reason to wake up every morning because another life relies on them. Avery has been involved in this industry for 10 years. She started as a shy little girl who would hide behind her mom when someone approached her. Now she is outgoing and confident in herself. Avery has had the opportunity to meet amazing people and learn much more about how the livestock industry has changed and grown. She is beyond grateful for this opportunity to be a part of such an amazing industry, community, and she cannot wait to see where it will take her in the future.

Autumn is the daughter of John Scheopner and Jess Humphries of Greeley. She is a senior at Greeley West High School and would like to attend either Aims Community College or UNC. Her career goal is to combine biology and a commercial pilot's license. If she goes to the University of Northern Colorado, Autumn will study Ecology while getting her commercial pilot's license. Then hopefully, she can work for the National Parks Service to transfer animals from one place to the next and study different habitats. If she goes to Aims Community College, she’ll study her general studies before going to a four-year college.
Autumn is a 4-year member of Blazing Clovers 4H Club. She completed Market Goats twice, cake decorating, and leathercraft. She chose this discipline/project because she felt a spark. She imagined what she could do and how she would do it. For Autumn, archery is about learning a new technique and finding a way to support her life in the future. There are two skills she learned throughout her continual growth in archery. She acquired the skill of patience and following safety protocols. You have to be patient during the course because every person shoots at a different pace. Some will shoot faster; others will shoot slower. You must follow the safety protocol unless you want to end up in the hospital or your privileges withdrawn. Autumn held the position of Secretary and Reporter in her 4H club. As secretary, she watched the membership grow and tracked the club's growth. Being a reporter, she took care of officers' duties when they were absent. She shared her experiences as secretary and reporter to her FFA chapter. FFA is part of her school, where she can share her 4H influence. Autumn devised plans to build events and create workshops. As event manager, she took over the responsibilities of other officers. Citizenship is where you contribute something good to your community and do your duties as a person living in that city, county, state, or country. 4H assisted her in taking charge when needed and building confidence to talk to new people.
