Jason D. Reese, of 332 W. Main St., #4, Batavia, made the Dean' List at Genesee Community College for the Spring 2012 semester.
Reese is a Physical Education major and very proud of his accomplishment.
"I showed up on time, did all assignments, passed the exams, I earned this feat," said Reese, who will turn 50 on June 25.
He says being a minority in Batavia is tough business.
"There are all sorts of people who want me to be a criminal statistic -- sorry to bust your bubble -- they are not that good plus you're going to have to raise your game to keep up with me," Reese said.
He graduated from Pavilion Central in 1982 and received an associate degree from GCC in 1988.
"I was immature back then. I will make up for that time now. I am a late bloomer, but I am not stopping now, my best years are yet to come," says Reese.
