In my 19 years in education, I have rarely ever met anyone like Jordan Crowley. He is a unique individual with an uncanny ability to deal with life in absolutes. His ability to adapt to social settings that require an understanding of current issues is his forte.

I am an educator at Golden Valley High School and CSU Fresno. In my 19 years in education, I have rarely ever met anyone like Jordan Crowley; while it is true that I have only had him in class for a year at El Captain High School, there is no doubt that he is in a league of his own. Jordan is a unique individual with an uncanny ability to deal with life in absolutes. His linear thought process and analytical mind make him a rational thinker, but his compassion (albeit it is often suppressed as he deals with academics, since fundamentally there is reason behind everything) is present in passion but not in the processing. I was instantly impressed with the vocabulary he chose to use as he communicated, not to mention the automatic, yet logical processing that each statement and conversation underwent; I have never been more impressed that a teenager was capable of such untrained, yet refined eloquence. Albeit our encounter was brief, however, his impression was one that left a mark. Additional encounters and ultimately a partnership forged as he became a member of the speech and debate team; Jordan has a unique gift of putting people at ease, his natural laid back character coupled with his quick wit and verbal mastery make conversation fluid. That being said, he is no stranger to public address with his leadership roles and rallies. His ability to adapt to social settings that require an understanding of current issues, refined behavior and pose are his forte; while simultaneously he is capable of simply being a mystery. This ability to relate and connect allows him to forge relationships, make alliances and collaborate for an intended goal. Although reserved, there is nothing timid about his leadership. Additionally, here is no one that seems to be more aware of the dynamics presented in a collaborative effort capable of discerning the strengths and weaknesses he inserts himself into the middle as a bugger, to pull out quieter personalities, as he understands those and to temper others that might stifle all parties; his neutral stance and desire for completion makes any mutual effort an enjoyable experience. Jordan has been versatiles enough to segue between the professional and the personal, making sure that the two never collides in a manner that would cause arm to any party involved; his wisdom is truly beyond his years. He knows how to use words to his advantage, not in the sense of manipulation; rather in the sense of adaptation of setting and people. His work ethic has yet to be paralleled; although he demands perfection for himself, it is his leadership ability that pushes others to want to obtain the same level of excellence. He has always brought the level of expectation up a notch higher than the last time, making perfection a potential reality. This above and beyond mentality makes him a workaholic, which only benefits any entity that he is a part of; as flexibility in work schedules is an option. His academic ability is above average, as he is one who grasps concepts quickly, digests information well, and communicates findings with ease; moreover, he is one who will ask for help and seek additional support should that be necessary. Finally, Jordan is an individual that settles for nothing less than excellence; there is never a moment when he is not learning; he is driven yet available to help, intentional yet flexible, adventurous and always willing to try something new because that leads to learning and that at his core is the pin that holds him together; every moment lived is an opportunity to learn. I cannot imagine that there would be a better candidate for any school or business. Connection and completion are the cornerstone to his being, and the integrity that he presents at all times that removes the barriers between people; for with Jordan you know that you will always have an honest, real, and sincere encounter.
