MISSISSIPPI SCHOLARS TECH MASTER IN THE MAKING: JAELYN TAYLOR Meet Jaelyn Taylor, a senior at Laurel High School Career and Technical Center and a member of the 2014 inaugural class of the Mississippi Scholars Tech Masters. “Laurel High School CTC students are excited about the Tech Master program and are thrilled at the doors the distinction could possibly open for them in the future,” center director Becky Sanders said. Congratulations to Jaelyn and all of the 2014 Tech Masters! What are your educational and/or career goals after high school? “After high school, my plans are to continue my education in a field of psychology.” What inspired this goal? “I have always been interested in human behavior and how people’s minds work. I want to study psychology because I’m curious about how other people feel and react to different situations and why.” Why do you want to be a Tech Master? “I want to be a Tech Master because I feel that it is an opportunity that can be useful later in life.” How do you think the Tech Master designation will help you achieve your educational and career goals? “It will help me stand out and show that I am willing to work hard to accomplish my goals.” What would you say to encourage other students to pursue the Tech Master designation? “To other students I would say that the Tech Master designation is a good thing to consider being a part of. It can help you in the long run by helping you stand out amongst others who may be competing for the same position you are.”
