David Caddle, Youth Leadership Jackson

WHAT IS YOUR PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT? I will strive to be a resource to everyone and make a difference in this world before I depart from it.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN OR GAIN FROM THE PROGRAM There are so many fine qualities in my city that I never knew about. This program taught me of the many qualities that our city has and the hard work and sacrifice that so many people, including our leaders, make every day. I now know I have a key role in society right now, and I’m motivated to make a difference in every area of my life.

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE FUTURE? I plan to attend college and major in economics, attend law school, then practice law and someday run for a political position.

Once again UMMC was the home base for YLJ's February 7th session on human needs and health services. Students learned about some of the many different aspects of operating a medical university, the importance of volunteering and some of the day to day aspects of being a medical student. Students also visited the Good Samaritan Center and Grace House for a first hand look at the importance of providing services to those in need.

Thank you to Millsaps for being a 2016-2017 YLJ sponsor!
