Senior Kristian Jackson describes himself as a funny, energetic, and down-to-earth, a person who always tries to stay positive. Known by friends for being a “real one,” Kristian enjoys bringing good energy to the people around him and making others laugh.

Right now, he’s most passionate about photography, football, and staying on top of his schoolwork. Behind the camera is where he feels most in his element, capturing moments and telling stories through photos.

“One of the best parts of taking pictures is the priceless reactions” Jackson said.

After high school, Kristian hopes to attend UCA to work with the media team while also pursuing a career in IT. If the opportunity comes, he’d also love to continue playing football.

“I want my kids to be able to look up to and see how great of a person I was” Jackson said.

When people look back, Jackson hopes they will remember him as someone who was funny, energetic, and genuine—someone who stood on what he believed.
