One thing in the world I would change if I could: I’d like to help people realize that they have more control, more choice over their future. Staff comment: “Jared is a hard worker who drives himself to do high-level work. He works independently and respects others. His family loyalty and faith serve him well and have seen him through difficult situations.” – Kevin Head, math teacher, South Sound High School
