Emilie's 2nd year on J.Team

I joined J.Team in its first year. I heard about this program from a family member of mine and decided to get involved. I became interested in the program through the overall concept of philanthropy and working to give to back to the community for a greater cause. I have been in this group for over 2 years and I think that this group is very dynamic. We are able to communicate our ideas and are able to agree to disagree. I have been very impressed with our group so far and I am excited to see how our final decisions turn out.

I feel our presentation for Ultimate Peace went very well. I believe we were able to get our point across through our discussion with the entire group. We were able to convey our points and answer question thoroughly. We also received bracelets and necklaces from our meeting that we gave to the group.

During the presentations I enjoyed hearing about all of the different groups that are on the table for discussion surrounding our final decision with the allocations of our money. My favorite group that I learned about was Save A Child's Heart I really like what this group does by helping more than 2500 children with heart conditions. With J.Team we would be sponsoring the Youth Leadership Program. I like this because since I am in a leadership group, I would like to sponsor a leadership group as well.

When I am not in session with J.Team, it influences my decisions by the roles I take part in my school; it helps me make my decisions through what I have learned in J.Team.

I have a feeling that the decisions that we will need to make will have its difficult moments. Similar to last year I have a feeling that what we all want individually will need to be compressed in order to come out feeling good as a group. Overall I am very confident about our group's upcoming decisions!
