Megan Rodine from Oakes, North Dakota is part of the Dakota Workers 4-H Club in Dickey County and Oakes Sargent Central Ellendale FFA Chapter. Rodine started participating in FFA and 4-H as soon as possible. “I showed beef cattle.” As a livestock showman, Rodine learned patience while working her animals. “When you start the halter breaking process, your animals aren’t always the most cooperative. You have to get used to their comfort zone. They have to get used to being around you. By the end of the show season, you are best friends,” says Rodine. “I think it’s having patience and learning what makes your animals different from others.” Rodine urges 4-H and FFA members to apply for scholarships. “There are many scholarships through 4-H and FFA. If you are involved, I would say fill out the applications, because I know I never wanted to put the time into doing it, but I did. I’ve been thankful for all those donors who have helped me fund my college.” Hear the story.
