He said the financial aid he has secured will allow him to attend college without relying on loans or delaying his education, something he once feared.
“There’s a lot of scholarships out there. People are giving people money.” His advice to other students is to stay committed, apply widely, and never stop believing in what’s possible,” he said.

His Band Director, Jared Davis, spoke highly of him. “Jaedin is the definition of when hard work and talent mix together,” he said.

To students with big dreams, Jaedin offers a simple but powerful message: “All you have to do is be committed to the cause.”
