If anyones interested. I'll start off witha little background information. My full name is Jordan Paul Davies. I am 17 years old and currently living at home with my father and his girlfriend. My mother lives in Victoria and my sister has moved out of my moms house and gone off to study at the university of Calgary. I was born in New West Minster where I lived for the first two years of my life my father was a truck driver so he was rarely home. I was raised for several years by my mother and her brother Derek. His influence on me was obviously profound because my first words were "Hockey Puck". And my first sentence was "He shoots, he scores". In 1987 our family moved to Cranbrook BC where my father was a preacher in a local four-square church while driving trucks for various companies and at one point managing a U-haul company. Due to the stresses of family and two jobs my father suffered a mental breakdown and was institutionalized with Bipolar Disorder or Manic Depression. This invariably led to the break-up of my parents marriage and I found myself bounced from house to house over the next several months. My parents decided however to stay together for the kids. My mother decided that she needed to further her education and enrolled at the East Kootenay Community College. This led to our moving to Victoria BC so she could go to UVIC my father also enrolled in school and began taking classes at Camosun College. He also later transfered to UVIC. My maother was travelling to various places on practicums and this envariably led to her discovering things about herself so once again my parents seperated for good. I lived in student housing on the UVic campus for 6 years. That's a long ass time. However in the 4th grade I discovered a passion that has continued to this day. I began playing league football and I found it to be one the most rewarding things I had ever done. In junior high I found myself a social outcast because our school was in one of the most upscale neighbourhoods in town. For 3 years I hung out with the "uncool" group and eneded up smoking Marijuana almost every day. My life was turning quickly sour as I began drinking and going to parties and ended up being arrested and sentenced to community service. Needless to say picking up trash on the side of the road is not the most self-esteem boosting experiences. I was all set to go into senior high at Mt. Doug Secondary School when my dad topld me he was considering taking a job in Nanaimo. Needless to say I was livid. But on considering this I told him the only way I would move to Nanaimo would be if I could go to John Barsby Secondary School. So I eneded up moving to Nanaimo and going to the school of my choice. I chose this school because they had won the football championships the year before. This school is the best thing to happen to me. I'm Popular throughout all groups in the school. I have a girlfriend. I also have other girls chasing me which is nice. I also started pursuing Stage and Acting as more than a hobby. So here I am today. Finally happy. Finally secure.
