One name that is continuously heard amongst the senior class is JJ Even. He is involved in service, is a multi-sport athlete, and a National Merit Commended student.
JJ has a lot on his plate at all times throughout the year. He keeps a strong work ethic and busy schedule to keep him on top of things. He plays two sports on top of being Student Council President, on Service Leadership Board, in Scholar Leader Academy, and the National Honor Society Academic and Service Coordinator.
“I play volleyball and soccer; I’ve grown to love both sports, so I don’t really have a favorite. I have played volleyball for 6 years and soccer for 7 years, so I like them both in different ways,” Even said.
Even has accomplished a lot throughout his highschool career, but one thing he is most proud of is being selected to lead the Kairos retreat.
“It is an honor to be chosen to lead Kairos and it means so much to me that I am given the opportunity to share my story with others and become a part in their Kairos experience,” Even said.
A question he is faced with a lot is what he plans on doing after high school. With such a successful past three years, he plans on continuing pursing his dreams of possibly entering the medical field.
“I not sure where I am going to go to college, but Indiana University, Virginia Tech, Michigan, and Notre Dame are some of the schools I would like to attend. I am planning on majoring in neuroscience, or possibly a physical-therapist track,” Even said.
No matter what he chooses to do, he is sure to continuing achieving his goals.
