A graduate of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, Jenna has a degree in broadcast and digital journalism and a minor in Spanish (she's fluent!). Before heading to Utah, Jenna worked in Green Bay so she's no stranger to the cold and snow.
“It's one of the best jobs in the world,” he said.“My grandpa was in 911,” he said. “He didn't die during 911, but he died because of it. He ended up inhaling the jet fuel that was burning off there and it killed him like 20 years later.”“It was pretty scary to watch him die from it,” he said. “And then my realization that I could die from this.”“‘I don't have anywhere to go. I don't know what to do. Nobody wants me,’” she recalls Jesse saying.
After graduating from Mountain Ridge High School Thursday, Jesse is on to Utah Valley University’s fire academy, with a scholarship from Make-A-Wish, who surprised him with a firetruck and a check before graduation. “When you get cancer or something, you go into a spiral of sadness and when you get the Make-A-Wish, you get all joyful and you're very motivated in life,” he said.“He could have played the victim,” she said. “He could have wallowed in his misery. He could have given up at any point in his life, and he hasn't. He has persevered, he's pushed forward. He's been such a great example to us all in everything that he does.
