Senior Jade Achen won first place in the Visual Arts Shooting Star 2D art category scholarship competition held by Johnson County Community College on April 2. Along with her first place title, Jade took home a $1,400 scholarship.
Jade has been doing art for as long as she can remember. With her mom introducing her to art at such a young age, Jade’s art style has developed into painting with a couple of comic-style pieces mixed in.
Nominated by East art teacher Adam Finkelston, Jade submitted four watercolor paintings to the competition, each focusing around the theme of her identity. These art pieces were related to her identity by food, family and her culture.
“I was so surprised and excited when I found out that I won first place,” Jade said. “I didn’t expect to win at all and it was nice to get that extra amount of money.”
Jade plans to put the scholarship money towards college next year, where she’ll be studying design and architecture. However, even if her plans or path change in college, she will still continue doing her 2D art in the future.
“Art has been huge for me, from meeting so many new people to giving me confidence,” Jade said. “Art has also shown me a new perspective on the world and it has let me decide how I want to perceive it through my painting and art pieces.”
CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.
My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:
