People will remember Jacob about all the accomplishments he has made in Cross Country. His fastest time in Cross Country for a 13 mile run, was 1 hour 43 minutes and 7 seconds.

Academics are important to Jacob because it builds his future for the Navy. Jacob plans on enlisting in the Navy for two years. While being enlisted, he plans to attend NC State for Aviation Mechanics. When he graduates with that degree he plans to become an officer in the Navy. Once he becomes an officer he will be at a much higher rank, because he will have that experience as both enlisted and officer.

Jacob has enjoyed his senior year so far because he has made many memories throughout the year with his best friends, Dawson Bowers and Lane Hooper. One memory that he will never forget is the time he went fishing with Lane and Dawson. Jacob had felt something tugging on his line so he reeled it in and he noticed it was a huge 5 pound catfish, which was the biggest fish he has ever caught.

Jacob has made an impact on peoples lives here at Franklin High School, people describe him as a very giving person.

One goal Jacob plans to achieve before the end of his senior year is to pass civics so he can walk across the stage.
