My latest project


Meet Jason. He's my latest project at work. He is attending college at my institution ... well, NOW he is. He's from England ... came here on a soccer scholarship ... and soon after arriving decided not to go to class. Oh, with that decision came the idea that none of his assignments had to be completed as well. He failed his first semester flat. He didn't even have a GPA. It was 0.


But now ... he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. He goes to class ... he writes his papers ... he completes his assignments ... earns grades that reflect his continued efforts ... and continues to drive the soccer coach insane (which, in my mind, is pretty awesome).


This pic is Jason holding my UGA cup ... a slight at his girlfriend's college (she's a Gator, poor girl). I like this picture of him because it reminds me why I get up every morning and leave my family ... it's to work with kids like Jason. He, like everyone in the world, has enormous potential.


He says he "fancies me."


I fancy him, too. Keep it up, Jason.
