Hello, my name is Jakari Milton. I am an 5’5 running back with an 3.5 gpa at West St John High. I also play basketball, baseball, and run track. I love playing sports and on my off days, I like to do extra work, so I can get better at my position. This is something I do for each sport that I participate in.

My goals as an Student Athlete is to graduate with at least a 3.0 and I also plan on graduating in top 10 % of my class. Another goal is mine is to earn a full athletic, or academic scholarship. Either would be a blessing because I plan on playing football, regardless. My ultimate goal is to make it to the NFL, but if that is not meant to be, I would like to become an realtor.

I know I can and will accomplish my goals with work hard, determination discipline and having a no quit attitude at everything I do. The same mindset I have as an athlete will also help in the classroom . I plan on being a leader and leading by example. I will pay attention in class and take care of my responsibilities like home work and studying, so I can be prepared and do my best when it is time to take tests.

Everything that I do and will experience in high school will prepare me for every level that I will reach. Study, learning my school work and preparing for a test is just like studying and watching film to prepare for a game. I will continue to work hard and do my best lead by example, while I am still learning.

I am proud to have Jakari, as a member of my mentorship program! This young sir is the first from a HS In Louisiana that is rich with tradition and community pride. Young sirs like him are trying to get West St. John HS back to those championship form by building a legacy of their own. I am honored to be in a position to help lead, guide and direct this young sir where he can be a positive influence on his teammate as the work to bring excitement and pride back to their school and community.

Coach Mason

I would like to thank you all for taking time to read about this young sir. Please leave this young sir some words of encouragement, or whatever the LORD place on your heart to share. Thank you in advance! (Damon Mason)
