Jason Laday wins state talent contest
Port Arthur ’ s Jason Laday has dedicated his life to dance and in his heart , he knew he wasn ’ t second best . The problem was he just couldn ’ t prove it … until now .
The Lamar State College Port Arthur Drama major won first place in a statewide talent competition during the recent Texas Educational Theatre Association convention in Houston . It ’ s the first time Laday has won first in any competition .
“ Winning awards isn ’ t really how I want to define myself ,” Laday said . “ But I had all these second place awards and nothing to really say I am as good as I think I am . I guess this is some validation for the hard work I ’ ve put into becoming as good a dancer as I can be .”
