I had several college classes with Jason, and although not very close, he always had the biggest smile and was willing to help in any way he could. Upon graduation, I landed a job as a coach for NISD, and it just so happened he was completing his student teaching there shortly after. We were at a title I middle school, which meant there was always a student who needed guidance, someone to talk to, or a simple high five to keep them going. Jason was known to bring smiles to everyone’s faces, and such a great listener. We had a few conversations, and I remember once being so frustrated one day, he gave me a great perspective that I hadn’t thought of and it changed how I felt about the situation. I also asked, “how are you so positive!?” He chuckled and said, “I just try my best to do what’s right”

I played soccer with Jason when we were younger and it is fantastic seeing his passion to educate and mentor these young kids. We need more teachers like him! Keep up the good work buddy.
