An Interview With Jordan: The Nurse, The Stove, And My Sister

Between our busy schedules, my sister Jordan and I don't get to see each other as much as we'd like to! That's why I decided to interview my sister this week!

I was excited to interview her because, even though we're siblings and grew up in the same home, we're two different people and thus see the world differently. It's amazing the amount of stuff you can learn about the people you grew up with!

Without further adieu, meet Jordan!

Tell me about your childhood! Where were you born? What was your childhood like? Favorite childhood memories?

Where was I born? In a hospital room. Duh.

My childhood was full of laughter and love. There were many obstacles that got thrown my way but it's made me who I am today.

One of my favorite childhood memories is when I would crawl up on my dad's lap and be rocked to sleep. However, tormenting you [Elyssa] was always my goal at the end of the day.

Ah yes. Tell me, what is your favorite "I tormented my sister" story?

My favorite story is when we were younger and you climbed up a tree and I removed the ladder from underneath you. You had to sit up in the tree for hours until Dad realized that you were up there while I knew the whole entire time that you were stuck.


Oh goodness. Yes, I remember that. Ha! OK, so you've just graduated community college. What are your plans now?

After graduating from Cowley, I plan to pursue my journey towards nursing. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of different nursing programs at the moment.

What made you want to go into nursing? What do you look forward to most as a nurse?

Growing up in the medical field and watching dad work as a paramedic/firefighter, I always knew I wanted to be in the same type of field. I look forward to being able to take care of people and bring them back to health.

What's the hardest challenge you've faced and how has it shaped you?

The hardest challenge that I have ever faced was growing up without my mom active in my life. It has shaped me many different ways. But I am thankful for the lessons it has taught me.

What values are most important to you?

The most important values that I have are honesty and loyalty. Without either of those, it is hard to trust a person.

And what keeps you busy? Hobbies/activities?

Work and school keep me pretty busy. When I am not doing either of those, I enjoy playing softball and spending quality time with my family.

Final question: if you were a kitchen appliance, what would you be and why?

If I were a kitchen appliance, I would want to be a stove. I am able to do many things and others would rely on me.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
