Paige in 3 words: Persistent, Inclusive, Educated
Paige is a Junior Fellow from JCM Early College High. She is an exceptional student, known for her intelligence, kindness, and determination. She gives 100% in everything she’s involved in and excels in Language Arts and Foreign Language. With aspirations to become an author, child psychologist, or teacher, Paige is driven to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
The most inspiring people in Paige's life are her parents, parents who created a loving and supporting environment for her. Their resilience has deeply influenced her perspective on life. Paige also credits her middle school Environmental Science teacher, Mrs. Jana Young, for being a significant influence. Mrs. Young's support has left a lasting, positive impact on Paige's academic journey.
Describing herself as persistent, inclusive, and educated, Paige believes her greatest superpower is her communication skills. She has always been able to express her feelings clearly to anyone, regardless of age or situation, which allows her to connect deeply with others.
Paige values the strength of her community in coming together to help each other, but she recognizes that sometimes financial struggles can be major barriers to living healthy, productive lives.
Paige sees the Jackson community’s ability to unite and confront challenges as a major strength. However, she also believes that while the community can come together, certain important issues are often ignored. As an idea creator, strategy setter, and negotiator, Paige is poised to play a key role in addressing these challenges, with her communication skills and determination guiding her efforts to make a difference.
“My motivation comes from striving to become someone I once believed I could never be.”
