Stories from Pace Manatee

Jocelyn’s Story

Today I am a leader. I traveled to Tallahassee earlier this year and advocated for all girls. I wasn’t always this strong. I struggled with self-doubt due to my appearance and lacked motivation to go to school. At Pace, I was making friends while balancing my academics and was seeing a bright future for myself, and then my mom passed away due to Covid. But my Pace family supported me, and I learned that if I keep my emotions inside, I’ll explode. I’m strong now and not looking back. Proud Pace Senior Class of 2025!
