I am from

Intro

1st Period

Born in Peoria, Illinois in the great year of 1989 I Jordan Parks was born. Growing up in Peoria all I had on my mind was sports, sports, sports. I was the second youngest of seven kids in my family and 1 of 22 guy cousins on my moms side of the family. So growing up I literally competed for everything. Everyone knows that Ricky Bobby saying, "If your not first then your last." Well I felt that way as a kid growing up. So if you didn't know by now I played sports, I was playing since pre-school. Coming up in the years I was always considered one of the better athletes in my town at basketball and baseball.

2nd Period

My family moved to St. Louis when I entered high school. Where I stopped playing basketball and baseball and started to wrestle. I changed sports for the pure fact that the best players will be the ones playing. It turned out to be a good choice because through wrestling I had got scholarships to different colleges to wrestle, but that ended after getting hurt my first two years in college.

3rd Period

After getting hurt I decided to go in the path of coaching. I'm here at OTC for a semester and then will transfer to MSU. My major is in secondary education. I want to teach and coach wrestling. Early in my college life was hardy party but now that I'm at a new school it's all about academics.

OT

As finishing I realized I didn't say much about myself. I'm a outgoing guy who loves a good time. Talking to people isn't much a problem to me unless I'm sick. I love watching storms and nature. I can never get enough of fresh air. I love life and life loves me.

GOD bless America
