Sir Jam,
I know that you are a private person but I'm sorry because I'm making this video that I made for you available for public viewing. That's because I WANT THE WWW to know how VALUED and APPRECIATED you are by me and ALL the many Professionals and Licensed Engineers you have produced out of your 7 years of passionate and unremarkable teaching career.
You always leave a piece of you in the hearts of us, your students that we will cherishly remember whenever we look back to college.
I cannot express enough how THANKFUL I AM that back in my 4th year in the course, you eyed me and saw that there was a potential in me... Do you remember? I was just a hardworking typical student that time who needs to exert much effort to gain good standing. I was no wizard nor anything yet I was shocked that you tapped me to be a part of your Quiz Team. That challenge really drew out the 100% in me. I know that you have the same motivating impact in most, if not all the students that you handled. You remind me of God's character of looking to what I can be and not what I was. :)
And what amazes me the most is that despite of your career statue, your geniusness (if there's such a term) and academic authority, you manage to KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND and REMAIN TO BE A GOOD MAN. Thank you for being THE BEST MENTOR in the world :) I don't need to enumerate all the good characteristics that you have because that's what this video is for.
Last but not the least, thank you for being a GOOD FRIEND. You will always be an inspiration.
Happy Birthday Sir Jam!

Your second greatest fan,
Jonai
