Jordan Lumsey, Staff Writer

Prior to attending Paint Branch, junior Jordan Lumsey resided in Arkansas, where he experienced what is now his greatest memory, his first sight of snow. At the age of five, Jordan remembered ¨not knowing what it was at first.¨ However, once his dad explained it and took him out to play, he recalled it being ¨the most fun he'd ever had.¨

As someone who considers himself extremely family oriented, it is only appropriate that Jordan shared his greatest memory with his dad. When asked about the best gift he's ever received, Jordan responded with, ¨It may not be like any typical gift or something someone can buy; really, it's just the love from my parents.¨ Jordan continued to express his admiration for his parents by mentioning that the best advice he'd ever been given came from his dad who told him, ¨If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready.¨ 

For some, family can be great, especially in a brutal time like a pandemic where school is strictly virtual and routines are changed dramatically. During times like this, family can be the assistance that people need to survive. For Jordan, however, the activity that helped him survive quarantine the most was sleeping. With school, the lack of social interaction, and everything else going on around the world, sleep was able to provide an escape that he needed.

Junior year in high school is often the time when students begin really considering what their future holds post-graduation. According to Jordan, ¨As much as I can plan for something, I can't predict something.¨ Although he does not know the specifics regarding his future, he does plan on going to college, and is excited for what the future holds.
