Youth Tour Winner!

Jessica Cole, a junior at Carter County High School has been selected to represent our area at the 2010 Youth Tour to Washington D. C.  Jessica is the daughter of Southeast Electric members Don and Jennifer Cole from Alzada.  Jessica submitted an essay identifying and describing the key qualities that are important to young adults, and explain where today's young leader should be focused.  Jessica feels "the most important qualities include a good work ethic, flexibility and patience."  She also believes the young leaders of today should be focused on creating and achieving their goals while helping others achieve their goals.  Jessica is involved in FCCLA, National Honor Society and C-Club.
