TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Brown's Town Community College student Nacore Stewart has topped a field of 30 tertiary students across the island to be named JN Wise Aspiring Youth (JN WAY) Exceptional Ambassador for 2015.
The award was bestowed on May 17 by Jamaica National Building Society.

JNWAY is a youth marketing initiative which began in January 2014 with the aim of positioning the building society as the preferred financial institution for young adults seeking to secure their financial future through savings and responsible borrowing.
JN said Stewart, who, like his competitors, had to stage events and engage social media throughout the school year to increase JN's customer base, "helped to raise the status of Jamaica National within the school community beyond what he was asked to do".
"I'm elated, knowing that I have been selected as the first Jamaica National Wise Aspiring Youth Exceptional Ambassador Awardee," the young man told Jamaica Observer after the award ceremoney at Knutsford Court Hotel.
"I didn't expect to be a winner. It came as a surprise, because I was very shy at the beginning of the programme. I was not very outspoken, but after 'gelling' with the rest of the ambassadors as a family, getting the hard work done, I became comfortable and had a hope that I would have been selected," he confessed.

The finance and management undergraduate was also named Team Player of the Year and Most Improved Youth Ambassador.
Stewart said he was hesitant about registering for the programme when it was being advertised.
"I passed the poster a few times on campus and wondered if I should register for it and become an ambassador for JN," he said. Now, he is glad he took advantage of the opportunity, but it was not an easy battle. more
