LANE LOCKHART Ready or Not, Here I Come.

This past year has been filled with exciting events and lots of fun During the year I participated in many JJPBC events meeting a lot of cool new people and learning valuable lessons. I played basketball for my school, serving as the team captain leading my team to have multiple wins and was the color guard commander in the MCJROTC program This year has definitely helped me realize how much love I have for Jack and Jill. I hope to have even more fun and good times in my next year.

This year has been an awesome but challenging year! I transferred to a new High School and now attend an international sports academy boarding school for soccer. However, I am allowed to travel home. I am learning about time management, dealing with new coaches, and last minute game and training scheduling changes. I haven't always been successful but I am figuring out how to maintain other commitments such as Jack and Jill.

For the first time I really paid attention to how happy I felt during our community service projects Seeing the smiles on the children's faces was priceless at the Toy Drive as well as when we distributed food during Thanksgiving. I gave my mom a hard time getting up in the morning but I ended up not wanting to leave until all the families received food I am looking forward to those community service projects next year.
