The world around us

Hello, my name is Lionel Jordan. I was born in Mobile Alabama January of 1987 to Ms. Jacqueline Jordan and Mr. Lionel Brooks. I was the second child of my mother, the third child of my father, and the first son to them both. When I was in the first grade, my mother traveled to Houston Texas where we lived for a total of six months, and I remember it like it was yesterday. When we returned to Mobile, I was still in the first grade and went on to continue my schooling in Mobile. The very next year, my mother traveled to Macon Georgia where we would live, and I and my two siblings would go to school for an additional three years. We returned to Mobile Alabama my fifth-grade year, were we continued our education until all of my mother’s children graduated high school. My older sister graduated first in 2002, myself in 2005, and my younger brother in 2007. My Sister’s name is Arlexia, and my brother’s name is Justin. We are the three amigos.
When I graduated from high school, I met a girl who would soon become the mother of my child. My daughter, Samiya Jordan, was born June of 2006. She is the most precious gift I’ve ever had. When she was only a year old, she was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of my soon to be wife, D’Juna Thomas. D’Juna was a very good friend of mine and also the love of my life. She was only 18 years of age when she passed away. I gain my strength to move on push forward by none other than the almighty King of kings. I continued to seek peace in my heart by attending church regularly, and helping out when needed. My family was a big support system in my life at that time, and the fact that my daughter was so strong to survive such a tragedy gave me the strength and motivation I needed to work hard, keep striving, and to never give up. This is my life in a quick summary, but for you to get to know me by reading up on me, it would take way more pages.
