When asked about his thoughts towards peace, Jacob responded, “When we help others, we make the world a better place.” He credits his parents with instilling in him messages of peace from an early age.
Jacob believes that everyone can do something, even a small act, to make a positive difference in the lives of others. His favorite movie promoting peace is the Blind Side. Jacob mentioned that he likes how Sandra Bullock’s character goes out of her way to help less privileged people.
