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

My grandparents used to live in St.Louis. It's a nice place, except for the photochemical smog in the early morning.
I know what you mean about the hardy party in the earlier years and buckling down for studies. Bummer bout your injury but maybe that was just all part of life's plan.
I know what it's like to be competitive like that, I was always trying to beat everyone in any sport I could when I was younger.
Sports have played a pretty big part in my life and have shaped me for the better. I played baseball and basket ball when I was younger wrestled in middle school but my favorite sport was swimming all four years of high school.
