This is the end of my journey as the Prime Minister for the Jamaican Student Association also known as Jamsa ! I want to thank my eboard for always believing in me and supporting me in every thought and event I threw out there. I know was hard to deal with and sometimes a nag, but I just wanted everyone to reach their full potential and you guys did! I'm proud of each and every single one of you! I was blessed to build friendships that I'll keep for a life time . I was honored to share my Jamaican culture with the UCF community through an organization I help founded. In the moment I didn't see what I was doing! I couldn't see the friendships build, didn't really recognize the people that was looking up to my leadership, didn't really know who supported me! Because in all honesty I was looking up to everyone that shared the same passion I had, I was drawn by everyone story that they wanted share through Jamsa, I was focused on building the family that was already built through our Jamaican blood. I just want to say thank you to JamFam for everything! You helped me grow a lot over this last year; by challenging me to step out my comfort zone and the lead from the forefront ! One love ... 2017-2018 executive board the torch is in your hands now🇯🇲 - Your truly Tavon 🖤💛💚
