Neighbourhood Profile - Jesse Ferguson

Moving on and moving up. This is Jesse Ferguson’s vibrant outlook on life after his life changing accident two and a half years ago.

After getting into the drivers seat to drive a few girlfriends to a party in Glen Morris, a terrible snow storm erupted and Jesse lost control of the car. Doctors diagnosed that he had received severe trauma to his head. As a result, Jesse lost all of his physical mechanics, causing him to have difficultly with once thoughtless tasks.

Through the hardship though, Jesse has stayed optimistic as he surges forward and begins his university career at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Jesse yearns to move on from the accident and get on with his life. His outlook is one of strong determination. He is a very honest, down-to-earth person. “Don’t worry about honesty” he says “I got that covered”. With this kind of attitude, Jesse has been able make friends easily wherever he goes. He claims to love the girls and is as “smooth as anything.”

With a bright smile Jesse gushes about his love of sports. Even though he cannot fully participate in the sports he loves, Jesse is still an avid watcher of the NHL, NFL, NBA and MBL.
Through it all, Jesse’s outlook on his circumstances has been anything but ordinary. His gusto for life and never ending passion to experience all that life has to offer him is an inspiration to all.
