The Renaissance Man: Darjean has left legacy of hard work at Crosby
WHAT DOESN’T CROSBY’S LANDON DARJEAN DO?
The super senior is on the Student Council, the secretary of FFA, a member of the National Honor Society, is on the Crosby bass fishing team, is involved in his church and works at Mudbugs Seafood Restaurant.
“A great work ethic has been instilled in me since day one,” he said. “I’ve been taught that there always needs to be a goal and you always need to be working towards that goal. I think I got that from my Grandpa, who has been in the military, worked for NASA and owned several businesses.”
But with so many moving parts in his life, how does he manage the time?
“It’s tough,” he said. “You really have to prioritize things and sometimes you have to say no because you have another obligation. It’s hard to manage at times.”
Darjean is in the Ag Mechanical class within FFA, where he thrives.
“FFA just provides so many opportunities to find a career path. There are some many tracks you can take,” he said. “It teaches you to be prepared, to be on time and to finish what you start. I love to weld and it’s a pretty valuable craft to have.”
While he is soldering metal components today, his future could be soldering people back together.
“I want to study biology and eventually be a trauma surgeon,” he said. “I love helping people and I love blood and guts.”
The future Texas A&M Aggie is a model student, who is leaving a legacy at Crosby High School that hardwork pays off.
He knows, he was born with the gene.
