~:[Spotlight]:~ Jennifer (Leung) Jou
It was way back in 1997 that first met Jennifer. It's amazing how time can fly and seem like it hasn't been too long, when in fact, it's been almost a lifetime! I've been so luck to spend so many moments with someone as incredible as Jenn who has a smile that can light up a room, the brains that will continuously challenge you, a heart that she shares with all of those around her, and is a person that you'll be lucky to find another one of in your entire lifetime. We shared some great memories in high school such as many MUN conferences included an away conference at UC Riverside, the dances, the school activities, the birthdays and more. In college, we got more opportunities to continue our friendship. I was lucky enough to have her join us to chaperone for MUN and also for cross country and have numerous other outings after we both finished school. I have gotten to see so many of the amazing things she has done, such as coordinating the lunar festival and seeing her grow her own urban garden. Jenn never ceases to amaze me. She has been there for me in the worst of times to lend a shoulder to cry on and also to celebrate in the best of times. I could not ask for a better friend who can make the most of any day and brighten up your day with her smile and maybe a few animal noises on the side. Today is a special day, because not only is she being spotlighted, we celebrate the very day she came into this world. A day we were all blessed to have come along, as this world is much more amazing with you in it. Happy birthday!

spotlight is a column that will highlight at least one person every
week who deserves all the gratitude in the world for what they do. While
the individual may never make the headline news, they are the type of
person that deserve their moment in the spotlight.
