Student leader says joining leadership 'brought her out of her shell' and urges peers to try new things
Summary
SJHHS class president Xoe Jacobs described how participation in student leadership helped her confidence, said she plans to work with children (including job shadowing in a NICU) and advised peers to 'do something out of your comfort zone.'
Xoe Jacobs, introduced by high school staff during the Oct. 8 meeting, told the board she has participated in student leadership since her freshman year after initially declining in eighth grade. She said participating in leadership 'brought her out of her shell' and that she hopes to help other students do the same.
Jacobs said she aspires to work with children, is pursuing a NICU nursing job shadow and may attend the University of Oregon for speech-language pathology. When asked what advice she would give other students, Jacobs said: "do something out of your comfort zone."
