Young Women Of Distinction
" It's choosing to listen that makes all the difference! "
Jasmine Marie Lynn, is the epitome of what Young Women Of Distinction stands for...and is all about! Jasmine had a great future ahead of her and she was always pushing herself and others to be all that they could be. Jasmine was a 19-year-old sophomore and was the first in her
family to attend college until killed by a stray bullet while walking across
Clark Atlanta's campus, on Thursday, Sept 10th, 2009. She died with a 3.8 grade-point average and was an exceptional student.
Her mom, Constance Franklin, of Kansas City, said her only daughter was the life of the party. "She loved people," she said. "She loved people. And one thing about her, she had Christ in her life. Determined to go to church every Sunday." The word of Lynn's death was spreading quickly through the close-knit hallway at Lincoln Prep where the 2008 graduate was a basketball player and member of the ROTC. Sergeant Herman Brown worked with Lynn during her days in his ROTC program at Lincoln Prep in Kansas City and the news is almost too hard to bear. "Jasmine was a conqueror, mover and a shaker and a go-getter," Sgt. Brown said. Clark Atlanta President Carlton E. Brown told the crowd that Jasmine Lynn was an exceptional and irreplaceable student who had deserved to be safe on his campus.
Here at Young Women Of Distinction, Jasmine Marie Lynn's memory will always be remembered and honored via our 1st annual award ceremony starting next year. Please feel free to sign our guest book and leave your personal thoughts there. They will be greatly appreciated.
