About JFC Ambassador Jasmine

Jasmine Figueroa, Age 15

About Me:

My nickname is Jazzi.  School is going well so far and my favorite subject is Social Studies. I like to play basketball, jump double-dutch and run.  I also like to play video-games.  I would like to become a lawyer. 

About Journey for Change:

What I experienced in Journey for Change is that no matter who you are and what you do, don’t be selfish.  I also learned to serve the poor.  I think Journey for Change has changed my life a whole lot because I never thought I could get this far in life and see the other side of the world.  I was also able to serve kids my age and younger.  My favorite Journey for Change experience was traveling to New Orleans to help a lady rebuild her house.  She told us sad stories about her and her family’s experience with Hurricane Katrina.  She also made us some good, hot gumbo and I thanked her very much for her kindness.

About the World:

The issues that are important to me are working with orphaned babies and I would also like to go and rebuild homes again.

Ancestry/Genealogy: My direct ancestors are Native American from Haplogroup A.
