Jacorey in 3 words: thinking, hardworking, passionate

Jacorey is a hardworking and passionate student. He is active and very committed to a wide range activities including the American Heart Association Teen of Impact, the pharmacy technician program, choir and band. He is particularly interested in science and performing arts. Jacorey’s top three dream professions are serving as a cardiologist, a travel nurse or a lawyer. He believes the biggest strength in the community is the support he receives from those around him. He sees a lack of motivation by some people as a hurdle both for them as individuals and for the community more broadly. He also sees a need for improving safe spaces and places for students and teems to spend time after school.

“The Jackson community does a great job helping younger people. People do this by creating leadership opportunities and offering teens my age opportunities to grow. We just need more.”
