Jason's Story

Life Hi fellow graduates, I had a great time at the 20-year reunion, my wife said she had a better time at mine than at hers in San Diego. Thanks to all that made her feel welcome and talked with us throughout the night. I went to Tumbleweed elementary school and found that I was drawn to those of you that went through those early years together with me. It was great to see those of you who welcomed me to Mr. Brannan's 3rd grade class when I was the new student. We would spend the next six years together, my crushes on Kerri Maxwell, Susan Hooper, Kelly, Shareece, Wendy, Patty, Kim, Dawn, Katy, Kris, Sherry, Lisa, basically all the popular girls. I fell for Jenni after high school and cherish the time we spent together. I am a sentimental packrat, I still have all my class pictures, yearbooks and even those silly "love" letters that we would pass back and forth. I guess there is something about those connections one makes during the innocent days of being a kid that binds us together. We enter high school and feel the pressures to be this or that and we fall into groups or labels that tend to define us for four years. I have to say that high school wasn't all that great for me. I didn't make any sports teams and didn't start dating until a girl finally asked me out at the end of junior year, thank you for taking the initiative Janet, I have plenty of good memories. I graduated and moved out right away for my freshman year, getting an apartment with Steve Ong. After my two years of starter college at GCC, I went off to the big campus of ASU and really started...Expand for more
to experience the college life. I loved the college town atmosphere of Tempe and did just enough to get my degree and put school work behind me for good. I graduated from ASU with a Finance degree, after a year and a half of being a stockbroker akin to the movie Boiler Room, I found my career path at Charles Schwab. I have been with the company for sixteen years, still surviving the economic downturn and ready for some good news. I can't complain how I have been treated there, it is a pretty good company to work for. I met my wife Jen back in March of '91, just before finishing up at ASU, we finally got around to marriage in April of '96. We had the incredible fortune to have TRIPLETS on Dec. 5th, 2000. We now have two healthy boys and one healthy girl, quite a way to get introduced to parenthood. Being a parent has been even harder than I expected, it has been difficult to endure the surgeries, stitches, broken bones, aggravating days and sleepless nights. But it has all been worth it. They are in second grade and doing a good job of just being kids. I am now 41, in my early 40s I guess you could say. But since I don't feel my age, other than my back and knees, I will accept it and keep going. I still like to wear my hair long, am fanatical about soccer, like my grunge music, dinners with the wife, a good beer, margarita or wine, trips to San Diego, enjoy time with friends and family and do my best to be the kind of person my parents can be proud of and my friends can count on. I hope to see you all again in the future, count me in for another reunion.
