4-H Youth Have Been Innovators For More Than 100 Years
For more than 100 years 4-H has been an organization that believes in the power of dreams. Recently, while looking for materials that would inspire the Sanilac County 4-H Green Squad as they begin construction of the Planet 4-H architectural model, I discovered Honda's Dream the Impossible documentary series. As it turns out, the Honda car company is a company founded by a dreamer.
Over the past year, the Sanilac County 4-H Green Squad have done the necessary work to learn more about biofuels, wind energy, solar power, and fuel cell cars. Their innovative spirits have allowed them to continue forging ahead despite difficulties, obstacles, and challenges. Like the dreamers in these videos, they believe in a promising future, and are willing to take risks to make it happen.
Green Squad, as we begin Go Green! Planet 4-H construction, I’m counting on being surprised! When I think of the next 100 years, I am confident that they will be even brighter because our youth weren’t afraid to take the risks associated with success. Remember what Thomas Edison said, “I never failed – it just didn’t work 10,000 times”.
