“The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals help us to identify global issues. I selected SDG 3: Health because we are living during a global pandemic and we cannot leave our elders behind,” he said.

He also believed that his loving community has made a difference in his life, giving the advice to high school students.

He said, “Remember, to help someone else on your journey. I think of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s words, ‘Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?”’

Bledsoe, in elation, said he looks forward to continuing to serve others by using social enterprises as a framework to create new solutions for societal problems. 

His social enterprise, J8 Creative, provides creative multi-media and content creation solutions, and a percentage of the proceeds of J8 Creative supports elderly residents in senior living facilities.

In addition to community service, he enjoys participating in student activities and sports.

Bledsoe thanked all the people that have made him achieve.

“I want to thank my family, friends, teachers, and coaches for pouring into me. I would not be the person I am today, if I did not have them in my life. Special thanks to each of you,” he added.
