| Testimonials 2 William C. Jarvis, Ed.D. Education HERE IS WHAT SOME HAVE SAID: Dr. Jarvis gave a presentation on TBI (traumatic brain injury ) and a motivational speech on how he deals with his injury and has overcome many obstacles associated with TBI. His story is a fascinating look at triumph over tragedy. The visuals and his style of teaching were captivating and held the attention of two hundred 7th graders for nearly 45 min. ( Which is no easy feet! ) Dr. Jarvis uses his wit and talents as a magician, and former teacher, to draw the students into his message. Paul Ragon, Science Teacher Memorial Park Middle School I just wanted to write and thank you, again, for being willing to come and speak at Taylor. It was such a pleasure and privilege to meet you, and the students really enjoyed and appreciated what you had to say. For me personally, you challenged and inspired me to think about how I could motivate myself to be a better teacher and motivate my students to be successful through learning. Thank you for taking the time to fit this engagement into your schedule. We were all truly blessed by you and your words of encouragement.

His presentation is heartfelt and heartwarming, full of hope and good news, and inspiring. I know that severalpeople who heard him in the chapel here at Drew University were movedto speak with him personally to share their own experiences of grief andheartache over different physical afflictions, and his presence for themwas comforting and challenging at the same time.

Tanya Linn Bennett Director of the Chapel & Religious Life,Associate Chaplain Drew University, New Jersey Thank you so much for coming and sharing your amazing, faith-filled story.

I also heard from several senior high youth that your words and your faith really amazed them. They wondered if they could remain so positive in the face of a similar situation. Our HS Sunday School teachers are going to continue your conversation next week as they plan their lesson. Again, thank you for sharing not only your story, but your faith. Whenever I see a weak young tree leaning on a stronger, bigger one, I will think of you. May God continue to bless your life and give you courage and strength to share that blessing with other. Rev.
