Jocelyn Ocampo-Mateo

Students at MBHS are often described as understanding and accepting, as many staff members tend to brag about the overall kindness of students. When thinking of model students at MBHS who highlight our school and what it's about, junior Jocelyn Ocampo-Mateo comes to mind.

When asked what three words best describe Jocelyn, her friends said, “Dedicated, creative, and thoughtful.” “Jocelyn is one of the most loyal people I know, I seriously trust her with my life,” Said Angus McNellie, Ocampo’s close friend. Ocampo is also described as reliable and selfless. Being an amazing student, who strives to be involved in her school's community, Ocampo is a kind and extraordinary person.

Ocampo’s plan is to attend a 4 year university after high school and said, “My dream school is UCLA.” She also plans on majoring in media studies and possibly attending a law school after. Ocampo is passionate and excited about her plans for the future and how she's going to achieve them, further highlighting her optimistic and outgoing personality. 

When talking about the future, many students tend to have a hard time figuring out what exactly they want to do, however when talking to Ocampo, she seemed to have an idea of what she wants her future to look like. When asked what she wants to pursue as a future career, Ocampo said, “I either would like to be a journalist, or a lawyer.” Although Ocampo is a junior, she seems to be very goal oriented and passionate about her future endeavors, and that passion is something that anyone can look up to.
