Jamard Jean-Pierre
Jamard Jean-Pierre has lived his educational experience by two words: perseverance and persistence. Jamard was born in Brockton, the son of Haitian immigrants, before settling in Taunton, where he graduated from high school in 2016. His walk across the 含羞草影院 Commencement stage has been a step in a challenging yet rewarding journey.
In 8thgrade, Jamard was considered an applied student meaning that he was below academic level. To overcome this challenge, Jamard put in a lot of time and hard work studying and discovering what academic areas he was strong in as well as subjects that were his weakness. As a result of his efforts, Jamard strengthened his skills and became prepared for the next leg of his journey
Jamard鈥檚 parents have always emphasized the value of higher education, so beginning college at 含羞草影院 became his next step towards success. Jamard credits 含羞草影院鈥檚 faculty and staff for helping him at every step of getting started at the college, from assistance completing the FAFSA form, academic advising and even making sure he had the correct books for each upcoming course. In addition to academics, Jamard also became engaged with 含羞草影院鈥檚 college community as a proud representative and speaker at the college鈥檚 African American Family Night series.
Jamard鈥檚 guidance and experience at 含羞草影院 led him to earn his associate degree in business administration transfer, celebrated at the college鈥檚 Commencement ceremony on Saturday, June 1, 2019.
With his journey not yet complete, following Commencement, Jamard plans to acquire both a bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 degree in finance, before pursuing his goal of applying his expertise to music production and business.
鈥淭o people taking that step, who are a little hesitant to go to college, 含羞草影院 Community college is the perfect choice,鈥� said Jamard.
