I, Jacky, Jacqueline De La Cruz, am the junior standing beaver who is currently attending classes for a bachelor's degree in hospitality and tourism management at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I want to use this degree to eventually work in the entertainment industry with jobs in touring management to help fans see their favorite artists in places never thought of! A great chunk of inspiration comes from stanning TXT. I would love for more MOA to see TXT in a variety of cities! I plan to pay my studies through my jobs, which I work three at the moment, and scholarships I am able to apply for. I became a MOA in the grand year of 2020, with The Dream Chapter: Eternity being my first comeback with TXT. Initially, when I first got into K-Pop through BTS in late 2019, I told myself I would never get into another group, but fast forward a few months later and suddenly my entire world revolved around my tubatu. What grasped my attention in these early months was the clips I would see on my Twitter timeline randomly, whether it was a silly clip of the members joking around, or a serious clip of them setting the tone for an event or learning something new. In the end, after jumping on the wagon and watching a couple episodes of To Do, their variety show catered just for them, I fell in love with their personalities and how well they interacted with one another. It was not just a group of boys put together to make music, no, it was a family. Although there are only two groups I am into, I am extremely passionate about TXT to the point where I would consider them the ult of ults, because of how relatable they are. They are all so young and have gone through the hardships young teens and adults have experienced, and sing these stories through their songs. With songs like Run Away, Ghosting, We Lost The Summer, Take My Half, and so many more that resonate with the angsty listener, I too clung to these songs because of how much I related to them. It was amazing that despite the obvious difference in fame, whether one has millions of followers and the other a nobody, both sides of the coin have experienced and felt the same hurt the other has. With TXT, they helped me feel like I was not alone. There is one member, who is my bias, that stuck out to me. Soobin, the leader of the group, is my biggest inspiration. I aspire to be like him. He is so thoughtful and cares about his members, his family, so profoundly, I too have started bettering myself to be that attentive to my friends, to be the pillar they can lean on, the same way TXT lean on Soobin. His natural leader aura and perseverance to work through anything are not what solely got my attention. His charisma, humor, and overall personality was the deal sealer for me. I have never seen or met anyone who is as kind, emotionally intelligent, and funny as Soobin, and he inspires me to be a better person. If you had asked me a few months ago what my favorite TXT song was, it would no hesitation have been Cat & Dog, but the English version!! However, with the recent release of their album The Star Chapter: Together, my favorite song position has now, without a doubt, been claimed by Take My Half, which is Beomgyu's solo song from the album. Now, a favorite moment for me with TXT would be when I got to line lead for four stops during their tour. It was nice to have a good system going so no one would have to sleep outside on the streets, and just us, the leaders, had to remain outside for any late night stragglers. It was definitely a learning experience and I loved it because we got to keep everything organized and helped so many moas see TXT in a peaceful manner! Tubatu has inspired me to step out of my comfort zone on multiple occasions!
