I am a 24 years of age. I am 6'1. I am a capricorn. I have one child, her name is Teleah
Jalon Jones and I am Telly Javon Jones. Yes, she was named after her father. I am a business major. I am also seeking a
minor in art, accounting, finance and a B.A. business administration.
There are four key parts to me they are my body, mind, heart,and soul. And it is important that
I take care of all of them. The sport that I enjoy the most is Football, watching it is okay,
but I love playing it. I just love the contact of the sport. To me its last sport for WARRIORS.
It allows me to be barbaric. And to be honest I enjoy the pain. The best way to sum up the sport is controlled chaos.
For my mind I educate myself. Thats why I am in school and why I am constantly challenging
myself and looking for new way to grow.
My heart and soul. I am learning daily how to nuture them. And I am learning by trial and
error mostly. And its hard to learn as you go. But I am.. My heart is just as gentle as yours.
Im becoming a better man everyday.. I once thought I was and I saw wasnt good of a man I thought I was.
And I analyze my mistakes.. the hearts I have hurt have helped me the most, because to hurt
someonelse hurt me deeply. And the mistakes I have made in the past I remember and they help
me make better decisions now. My soul is GODS, and daily I strive to live a good life...
I dont know how good I am doing, but I see the footprints, I feel his presence, and I see the
love.
I do love family. Especially my own. There are certain things you learn while forever
growing, during life. Mrs. Corrie, my grandmother showed me that I hold in me the ability to
acheive no matter what obstaclces stand in my way. She lost an arm due to a jealous lover, and
instead of folding, she chose to live life to the best of her ability. She raised 7 kids with
one arm better than most people do with Two. She did everything that anyone of us could have
done and she never allowed herself to be limited. NOT BY HERSELF OR OTHERS. If I ever had a
role model in my life she was it. And the sweetest words I ever heard role off her tongue
besides I love you, and when she would cuss me out. She once told me no matter what woman you
choose or color she may be. I will still love you and you will always be my grandson. She grew
up in the old south, and for her to say that to me meant the world to me. My love and respect
for her, myself, Teleah Jalon( my daughter) and the rest of my family is what pushes me to suceed.
I am far from perfect, and I still have along way to go to be the man I want to be
in this lifetime. To have the potential is one thing, but I choose to do more than just to have.
I am learing to fulfill it. But like all things I am working on becoming a better man with each
passing day. I have alot of lessons to learn, some will hurt more than others. And I pray along
the way that I dont hurt anyone in the process. Because to grow at someone elses expense can very
rarely be a truly good thing. And when I reflect, I realize that I would not trade the life I
have had for nothing in the world. I would endure all my hardships and my bad decisons all over
again. Just for all those things that I think about when I close my eyes that make me smile on
lifes most difficult days. Becuase if the slightest thing were any different. I could be worse
off than I am now. Or I could even be better, but there is always that, what if. My place in
life I can accept, because I know I am constantly working for better. And I know there is
someone in the world that could use a good friend or someone to put there hopes and dreams into
that can inspire them to do better things.
