🍀 Midland County 4-H Senior Spotlight: Bailey Morcom 🍀

On behalf of Midland County 4-H, we want to congratulate you, Bailey, on a job well done! We are so proud of you and excited to see where the road takes you on this next adventure. 🎓✨ Congratulations on your graduation!

Bailey shares:
*"4-H has played a huge role in shaping who I am today. Through stock showing, it helped me discover the career path I want to pursue and gave me a clearer vision for my future. It also taught me responsibility and how to carry myself with respect, while pushing me to step out of my comfort zone and connect with others.

One memory I will never forget is traveling with my wool judging team. Even though I’m still making memories with them, the laughs we share and their amazing personalities make every trip special. I truly love my team.

After high school, I will be attending Tarleton State University this fall to study Pre-Vet. I plan to pursue a future in livestock, but I am also open to exploring other opportunities along the way."*

Bailey, your hard work, dedication, and heart for agriculture have not gone unnoticed. We can’t wait to see all you accomplish in this next chapter! 💚🐄
