I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to
meet the community organization known as the
JCS Project. This non-profit organization impacts
college students from all over the country. During
our College Fair at the New Student Orientation,
the JCS Project visited my beloved Xavier University
of Louisiana. They dropped off 60 free college care
packages filled with goodies such as snacks,
wristbands, and encouraging words. The
personalized packaging even shows that the JCS
Project spends time to perfecting their craft. I am
looking forward to working with them during my
reign, and I am excited to spread the word about
this amazing organization!  JCS has done so much for me! One thing that JCS
has done for me was when SFA had a major power
outage during finals week. Power had been out for
hours, all of campus and part of Nacogdoches had
been out of power. I went to Facebook making a
post about being hungry and had to finish work.
Next thing you know, Ms. Tiffannie texted me,
checking on me. She said she was sending me a
package that week. The next day, she called and
said she was coming down to Nacogdoches to
bring me some packages. That Saturday, the JCS
first family came down and spent the day with me
at school and brought packages. That’s just one of
the many times that JCS has blessed my life.
