Jason Graduates from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University


All Jason's hard work finally came to a culmination on June 7, 2008 as he graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a Bachelor of Science in Professional Aeronautics with a minor in Safety Administration. He started work on his degree in 2004. Jason was determined to take classes full time, while also working full time. He never settled for "ok" grades. He either gave it his best or nothing at all (which means he always gave his best b/c he never once backed away from a class). Not only did he give his best in school, he continued to give his best at home and at work...getting awards, promotions, and more responsibility. While watching Jason earn his degree, I realized that I had gotten mine the easy way. (I took classes in between sorority parties.) I am so proud of how hard he worked to see this accomplishment through!

Way to go Jason! I couldn't be more proud!
