"The dictionary definition of a hero is a mythological or legendary figure of great strength or ability,
someone who is admired for his or her achievements and qualities" Now I believe that is only partly true
because to be a hero you don't have to possess the power or super strength or laser vision. A hero can
simply be anyone as ordinary as you or I. My 4-H hero is not someone with a secret identity, nor can fly,
and surely doesn't wear tights, but she is definitely someone you can admire for her achievements and
qualities. She goes by the name of Terry Prehara and she is my 4-H Lamb Project Leader. I have been
involved with 4-H for over 5 years now and I honestly don't know where I would be without Terry. She was
in 4-H herself for 11 years and has been the leader of our club for 12 years now. Even in my junior years
Terry would always take the time to lend a helping hand and explain things for that they were easily
understandable. She is a hardworking dedicated leader and mother. She is always on task and organized at
keeping our club growing. Her positive attitude reflects on all the members of the club including the
parents. 4-H has taught me a lot about leadership skills and responsibilities. Terry Prehara is not only a
great leader to look up to, she is my 4-H hero.
