Maddy serves as an ASB officer, a retreat leader and played varsity soccer and softball. She assisted in rebuilding houses in New Orleans after the hurricane and saw how much such a simple task can mean — such as installing a lock on the door of a house. She was amazed when the woman who lived in the home cried in Maddy's arms and thanked her. She has also volunteered at Camp Prov, a camp for children with disabilities. The greatest obstacle Maddy has overcome was when her dad was unemployed for two years, which was stressful for Maddy but eventually made her grateful for what she has. Maddy got a job of her own to help pay for her own things as well as to pay her soccer fees, and activities with her friends. Her inspiration comes from her friends and family and especially from her mom. Someday Maddy hopes to become a nurse serving disabled children. She was inspired by the disabled kids she worked with at Camp Prov and was impressed with their smiling faces and hard work ethic. She hopes to do the same and help disabled children maintain a healthy lifestyle just like any child deserves. She plans to attend Bard College, located in Annedale-on-the Hudson in New York and continue to play soccer where she will major in biology. She describes herself as hardworking, confident and outgoing. JJ Jammeh JJ Jammeh is a 19-year-old senior at Mariner High School. JJ serves as the captain of the Youth Action Team volunteer program at her high school. She is passionate about helping others.
