Jordan is Stronger and Wiser Because: “A certain experience that made me a stronger person is wrestling. The amount of discipline, determination, work ethic, responsibility and passion that the sport requires is absolutely immense. It has given me these attributes and more to live my life by. It has been an extremely tough battle, but it really prepared me for absolutely anything I will come across.”
Part of the Solution: “A key issue facing young adults today is alcohol usage. Many young adults are influenced to partake in the substance because it is the ‘cool’ thing to do. I might be able to be a part of the solution because I am an excellent example of not partaking in the substance while still being able to have a strong and positive reputation with those around me.”
Cause for Concern: “If I could be the president of any nonprofit or charitable organization, it would be with the Salvation Army. They do so much for people that are underprivileged. I love doing things for people, and to be able to have the opportunity to see how happy I could make people would be even greater.”
