Hey Y'all! My name is Jack Adkins and I am Houston, TX! I'm a freshman who is currntly planning to major in buisness and economics. In my free time, I enjoy competing in mock trial, cooking food, and fixing random things I find. I have a crippling caffeine addiction, specifically for white Monsters. I am looking forward to all of the lively debate that we are going to have, and how you all choose to adress the pressing issues our committee is working to solve! I can't wait to meet all of you!
