Jason Davidson

After he was attacked by a gang of youths near his home Jason Davidson suffered anxiety attacks and dropped out of school.

He became reluctant to leave his home and the high point of his week was a work placement with an animation company.

Jason realised the only way to develop a career in animation was to gain formal qualifications.

The 18-year-old Jason overcame his fears to travel to and from Stevenson College, at the other side of the city, for an animation course. He wants to do an HNC course in animation next.
