She said, “4-H taught me my modeling skills, which helped me in the pageant. I’d like to see more kids get involved.” Although she has tried to solicit her friends into joining, she hasn’t been too successful. She said, “They complain, ‘I can’t sew.’” Alissa said, “They don’t realize that I couldn’t either before I became involved with the prog ram. It takes patience and practice.” Unlike many seniors, Alissa is not counting the days until school is over. “I’m the emotional type,” she admits, “It will be difficult to break away from it.” Although she makes good grades she said, “Grades don’t come easy for me. I work for what I want.” Because Alissa enjoys people and looks forward to telling them about poultry products, she believes she’ll do a good job in being a spokesperson for the poul try industry.
