Every so often a new Journeyman comes over the horizon, and proves once again how tenacious those little buggers can be. Jason is certainly that. Yeah, I could point out the statistics, or just echo what has already been said about my apprentice. I don't think that it reflects how truly driven Jason has been. With each promotion that has come, his first question has always been "okay what do we do next?"
Some people would be happy to hit a certain benchmark and then just sit easy. Not Jason. When we were discussing the Shadow Academy and I pointed out some of the goals he could complete, he didn't express a particular interest in tackling them just then. However he did reassure me that "oh, I will tackle them all eventually. I will make my way through the entire Shadow Academy."
Honestly, that kind of attitude is spectacular, to have a set goal he has already decided to work toward. Some people would be happy with Rank IV, Rank V, or maybe even rank VII or VIII, but Jason has his eyes set on higher things- even if he is going about it at a slower speed than most.
Given the fervor he has shown in knocking down the goals on his path, I am excited to see to what heights he will soar. You have earned this promotion, Jason, and I look forward to seeing what else you bring to the table as you ascend toward Knighthood and beyond!
