In a world that often expects us to conform, one Lovejoy High School student is forging her own path. Lyn Jones, a rising sophomore, is a passionate, confident, and determined activist and community volunteer.
A straight ‘A’ student who’s active in dance and competitive cheer, Lyn has already made her mark within the community. As an activist, Lyn is a leader, encouraging fellow students and community members to use their voices to speak out against violence and injustice in our area and our nation.
You might think she wants to be a lawyer, or maybe judge. But you’d be wrong.
Determined to make a lasting impact in her own way, she wants to work in real estate because it offers her the perfect platform to make a difference in people's lives. When asked about her surprising career choice, Lyn shares, "I love houses and I love helping people. Both are about creating opportunities and promoting equality."
What sets her apart is not only her fervor for activism. “I’m determined to live authentically and advocate for what I’m passionate about,” she says.
What is she passionate about? Human rights, women’s rights, and equality. “Equality is something we need more of in this world,” she explains.
Her motto, "Whatever you do, do it with confidence," encapsulates the spirit with which she faces every challenge. "I believe in embracing who you truly are and pursuing your passions with unwavering confidence," she shares. “Speak your words even if your voice shakes.”
Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world.”
As Lyn’s story continues to unfold, it’s certain that she will continue to create that change.
