Go Night Presentation
Sophomore English, Mrs. Muckley
Take Action
This was my sophomore go night project on animal abuse in the farming industries. I was able to research, interview an expert, volunteer at a rescue center, and present my findings to a large audience. I would say this project connects to take action, but the presentation aspect also connects to communicate ideas since we shared our ideas to our audience and changed many people's minds. This was my first go night and first big JAGS project and I was very proud of it especially since I personally related to the topic as I have been a vegetarian for over five years.

Sophomore year I took AP US History for my history class. I learned so much about the history of the United states and what went wrong. This class gave me a bigger perspective of what life was like for minority groups and society in the past which is why it connects to the JAGS pillar recognize perspectives.
This assignment was an essay organizer comparing different reforms in the US. Over the year I learned about multiple reforms and how individuals saw a bad situation and took action.

Sophomore year gave me a great opportunity to participate in the JAGS Costa Rica trip. This adventure allowed me to share great experiences with my friends, such as zip lining and white-water rafting. These awesome activities not only created lasting memories but also created bonding experiences throughout the JAGS sophomores.
In addition to the exciting outdoor adventures, the trip also exposed me to Costa Rican culture. By really immersing myself in a new environment, I had the chance to try local food, view diverse wildlife, and learn about the vibrant culture Costa Rica had to offer. This trip was also the first time I traveled outside of the US without my parents which was a great experience that gave me a new perspective as a world traveler. This unforgettable trip strengthened my bond with the JAGS community, allowed me to grow as an global traveler, overcome challenges and become more independent.
