Hi my name is Lauren Philipello I am 17 years old and a member of the zbows and zbullets 4-h. I have been showing steers for the past 8 years. I am so greatful for all the past memories and lessons I was able to learn while working and showing my steers. If there's anything I have learned in the past 8 years is to take failures with grace and success humbly but with pride. Qualities like leadership hard work and dedication are things thatpeople in agriculture know best. I have learned first hand how much these qualities are utilized not only in the show ring but in my life going forward. This year did not go as anybody planned but I am thankful for the memories I was able to make while out of the show ring not only with my project but with my family. Thank you for your support as it will help me going into my final year as a showman.
