Jeffrey has completed over a hundred and fifty hours volunteering. Regardless of his football practice, school work, etc. Jeffrey is so dedicated and determined, and motivated to assist others in need.

I feel Jeffrey should be recognized because of his ability to multitask so many tasks as a senior. Also because Jeffrey has displayed so many qualities in a young man, such as dedication to his football team, determined to make a difference in the lives of families and children by volunteering his time. Also Jeffrey goes a hundred percent at whatever comes his way. Jeffrey never gives up. He is the type of student who will give you his shirt off his back, Jeffrey exemplifies so many qualities which has been instilled by his parents, Veronica and Jeffrey. This student has values , morals, determination, dedication and perseverance to never give up, no matter what. That why I feel he is an outstanding senior who needs to be recognized at his school. I am so proud of Jeffrey.
