Jordan is a senior at Delphi, and this is his third year writing for Parnassus. He is involved in Interact, SADD, NHS, Band, and swims on the swim team. In his free time he attends the Delphi United Methodist Youth Group, spends time with his friends, and watches movies. (Like, a lot of them.) Jordan enjoys reading, writing and traveling, and hopes to one day live overseas. In the future, Jordan would like to attend college, and study something that deals in working with children.
