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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
