Hayden Harper Pickens Scholarship

Retta Miller Endowment

4-H Inspires me to...

make myself better by being a lifelong learner willing to listen and learn from others.

During his 9 year 4-H career, Hayden Harper participated in over 470 community service hours, led 274 activities or workshops, that reached more than 3,280 youth and adults. His fondest activity is always County 4-H Camp where he enjoys serving as a camp counselor, conducting games and educational workshops, as well as motivating young 4-Hers to get more involved.

What aspect of 4-H has had the biggest influence on your life?

The aspect of 4-H that has had the biggest influence on my life is the network of friends I have built through my involvement in 4-H. This is a group of people that I am conifident I will be able to rely on as I move into the next phase of my life. I believe I will have a strong set of fellow 4-Hers to lean on throughout college and we will together help each other succeed.
