MEET MYAAC REPRESENTATIVE
JC ZAMORA
Name: D
Jc Zamora
School/Occupation: University of Florida '11,
Majoring in History and Political Science of Florida
HS Graduated from:
Christopher Columbus HS - Miami, FL
How did you get involved with Marist?
As a sophomore at Columbus, I was given the opportunity to attend one of the Marist Youth leadership conferences in Poughkeepsie, NY. During my time in Poughkeepsie, I discovered the "Marist family" and my place in it. As a junior, I also had the opportunity to attend the ENNAGA in Guadalajara, Mexico (essentially the Marist Youth for the secondary schools of the Marist Province of Mexico Occidental). After both experiences, I realized that even though my days as a Columbus student were numbered, I knew I would be Marist for life!.
Why are you still involved with Marist?
I am still involved with Marist because it is something that I hold very close to my heart. The Marist experience has made an immeasurable and positive impact on my life and faith. Now, as a young adult, I would like to give back to Marist for all it has done for me.
How do you live out your Marist identity now?
I pride myself on leading a life modeled after the Marist example. I also served as a young adult leader in the 2010 Marist Youth in Esopus and look forward to any gatherings involving Marist.
