To Whom It May Concern:

 

I had the opportunity to witness a wonderful show performed by Mr.Jason Alvarado. His show was organized and kept the student body’s attention. This was actually a difficult task due to the age diversity stretching from first grade to twelfth grade. His use of illusions kept the students attention while life learning lessons were being spoke of. The show was filled with positive decision making tasks that face each one of us at different levels in our lives. I appreciate his willingness to share intimate and personal experiences because it made it real for the students. Speaking of divorced parents, peer pressure and bullying touched many. 

 

I personally thought the use of one of our students during a bullying example touched me most of all. The young lady was able to speak from the heart with Jason’s encouragement. It was as if it had been rehearsed. 

 

Other teachers are quoted as saying:

 

“As a child of divorced parents, your comments about which parent to live with hit home. I always felt that I had to choose. For some reason I never felt like I was allowed to love both. I think you we 

 

awesome- I had tears flowing!! You voiced feelings that lots of kids have but don’t understand nor think is OK.”

 

“We saw Jason at Wendy’s the night following the day show. All the kids immediately recognized him and ran up to him. He was so very nice to the kids! After ordering his food, he came over and did a mini show for the kids. I am sure he was exhausted, but he never let on! I kept thinking how awesome it was for him to do that!”

 

I recommend Jason Alvarado based on his superb performance at our school, and his outside character reflects what he is speaking about. He is an inspiration and talented beyond measure.
