Jason Morgan
I was the oldest of 4 siblings, raised in a dysfunctional home with parents eventually divorcing. I was high functioning in school as well as athletics and had high expectations put on me that eventually lead me to a dual life where I needed to escape from family pressure. Poor choices became more prominent after school when I set out on my own. Those choices eventually lead to incarceration. Moving away from Northern California to Montana where I did not have the expectation to achieve and influence from peers to make poor choices lead me to a place where I knew I needed to go to school to be able to have the kind of life I really wanted. Then there was Helena College which offered me tremendous amounts of opportunity in all sorts of fields. The opportunity the College has presented has changed my life. I am now married with a 1 year old son. I am in my second year at Helena College, carrying a 3.66 grade point average and hope to graduate in the next year.
