“I mainly just hang out with my friends all the time,” said Dakota Bomar (‘26). 
  Dakota Bomar, a sophomore at Jackson High School, gets up close and personal with his day-to-day.
  Although he states that his main activity when not in school is hanging out with his friends, that is not the only thing in his routine. 
  “I work as much as I can, like on weekends. I work at Dairy Queen. It’s a super fun job. I like working there,” said Bomar. 
  Putting in effort at his job certainly did not come from thin air. These mindsets are taught; people are not just born with them.
  “I would say my dad is my biggest role model. He showed me how to work hard for the things I want in life,” stated Bomar.
