300 Words About Julianne Jackson

Julianne Jackson, a student attending Bonner Springs High School, leads an exciting life both at school, and while at home with her family.

Julianne enjoys her life at school, with her favorite subjects being Science, English, and Social Studies. Going by the nick name, “Jewelz,” both she and her friends consider her to be awkward and crazy at varying moments. They don't considered this a bad trait though.

“I’m crazy, but in a good kind of way,” said Jackson.

When at her home, Julianne takes interest in reading love and romance books, along with intense action novels where unexpected twists come into the plots. She additionally likes to write, especially of poetry, which helps her to express her thoughts and feelings. At home are Julianne's two pet cats whose names are Jojo and Jack.

"We all have J names," said Jackson.

Some of the most influential role models in her life are her parents and her volleyball coach, who is

"authoritative, but everybody's friend," Jackson said.

Julianne has traveled countless times all throughout the United States, having paid visits to New York, Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Hawaii. Additionally, not forgotten are South Dakota, Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Nevada, and Missouri. But she doesn't stop there. When older, Julianne wants to join the Peace Corps and help better influence the lives of others around the world.

Besides joining the Peace Corps, Julianne has multiple other plans ahead of her. She is considering enrolling at Pittsburg State University, or possibly Washburn University in Topeka, although she considers it a bit small. From there she would like to become a nurse for her career, helping the lives of many whom she encounters.
