activities outside of his regular schoolwork. He has studied at Truman 
State University's Joseph Baldwin Academy for Eminent Young Scholars, 
studied hydrodynamics at a Westminster College summer camp, and 
participated in the Students in Academically Gifted Education program 
through the North Kansas City School District.
  Jared has already enlisted into the United States Army Reserves as a
