It is hard to put into words how much of an impact Scott had on me, and I don't think I had fully realized it until now. I was a teaching assistant for Scott for over 2 years, and through that time I built the strongest bond I have ever had with an educator. Scott cared deeply about my progress, and we would often speak for hours about progress in my classes, clubs, and internship. Every unprompted message from him brought a smile on my face because I knew he genuinely cared. I knew it because he would proudly share it with others or encourage me to share it with our class.
What's most impressive to me is that so many others have similar stories about Scott - the fact that he had the capacity to mentor so many students while never giving you less than 100% of his attention.
There really aren't many people in this world who would happily announce to over 300 students that, if they have no family to be with, they can come over to his house for Thanksgiving dinner. Among many other great memories, playing Xbox and being shown around his "smart house" on Thanksgiving is one that I'll never forget.
