Who am I?
My name is Skye James. I am 17 years old and a senior at Tishomingo County High School, a member of Iuka Baptist Church and I love school. I do not like for students to be disruptive in class. I encourage my friends to come to school and not skip class. I am very punctual, I don't think you should be late for anything, you should be at least 15 minutes early where ever you go. I have been setting my own alarm clock and getting ready for school since I started the 6th grade.

I believe all kids are good if given a chance, everyone doesn't have the ability to be a star athlete or even make strait A's but, everyone does have something special they can share with the world. Some people are just there to help the world smile, some are care takers, some are great cooks, some have great speaking abilities and some will be our leaders of tomorrow and many other things but everyone contributes some way in life. I would like to become a teacher and help all kids succeed in life.

I have been taking modeling and acting class at John Robert Powers for 2 years. I have meet a lot of nice people. I have interviewed with agents who work with very famous people. I want to do the (IPOP) International Presentation of Performers. This is a audition that takes place twice a year once in New York and once in Los Angeles. I would like to do some modeling while attending college; I have done a couple of run way shows and a bridal show and it is really neat.

I also enjoy going out to nice restaurants with my family and friends. With three brothers, two sister-in-laws, two sisters, two nieces, and one nephew; a lot of grand parents aunts and uncles we do have a great time just doing birthday dinners. But my favorite food is Little Debbie fudge rounds, they are great treats.

Tell us about your platform.
My platform is student education. I believe in education it helps us to become responsible adults. It gives us the opportunity to be anything we want to be. I enjoy tutoring students in my school. I have first period as a teachers assistant. At the beginning of the year I just ran errands for a few teachers. Then one day I began helping other students in the class that were having problems, they were considered the trouble makers. But as I began to help them I realized they really wanted to learn. With one on one help from a student that wasn't labeling them as a trouble maker they would actually listen. I began to help them with there studies, grades began improving and then they became less disruptive in class.

I think there should be an elective class for students who want to become teachers to help out with troubled students. Some of these students just need a little extra help and teachers have a great load and a lot of responsibility if they had young fresh help, it could be a plus for everyone.
