Kyo's JAGS Journal!

My JAGS Journey

I chose JAGS because it not only encourages me to be more aware of the world around me but also challenges me to think critically about my role within it. It provides meaningful opportunities to engage with others who share a similar drive for growth, purpose, and positive change, creating a community that is both inspiring and motivating. JAGS is more than just a group, it’s a dynamic space where collaboration and curiosity come together, fostering an environment where innovative ideas can flourish and real impact can be made. Being part of this community empowers me to learn, contribute, and grow alongside like-minded individuals dedicated to making a difference in meaningful ways.

The Four Pillars of JAGS

Investigate the World Traveling to France, Germany, and Switzerland gave me a firsthand look at different cultures, histories, and ways of life. Each country offered a unique perspective, helping me better understand global connections and broadening how I see the world. It was more than just a trip, it was an opportunity to investigate the world through direct experience and meaningful reflection.

Recognize Perspectives. Researching Cuba’s sports culture showed me how deeply athletics are tied to national identity and pride. Learning about the government’s role in sports and how athletes are viewed helped me understand perspectives shaped by history, politics, and community values. It reminded me that recognizing different worldviews is key to truly understanding global issues.

Communicate ideas Working with my group on a project to thank our lunch workers taught me the value of clear and thoughtful communication. We had to share ideas, listen actively, and find creative ways to express our gratitude. It showed me how collaboration and respect can turn simple ideas into something meaningful and impactful.

Take Action Fostering a dog taught me what it means to take responsibility and make a direct impact. Caring for an animal in need requires patience, commitment, and compassion. It was a powerful reminder that even small actions can make a real difference in someone, or some dog’s life.
