Hi Everyone! My name is Jordan Shayne Thompson. I have a boy
name, courtesy of none other than my father. First and foremost I am a
Christian and love the Lord wholeheartedly. I have a heart for missions, and I have been all over the world doing them.
Me playing with the kids on one of my mission trips.
They always wanted to take pictures.
I am 22 years of age. I grew up in Southwest Oklahoma. I
am a proud Okie through and through, but I love to travel A LOT. For 2016 I
plan to travel to Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Italy, the Vatican, and Germany. I
am severely addicted to marathons. I have run eight marathons and one ultra
marathon (more than 26.2 miles). I love to travel to different states to run. I
am currently planning on running one in Washington and just got back from
Nebraska, Arizona, and Tennessee!
After finishing the Houston Marathon I stopped to take a picture
with my finisher medal at NASA Space Center
I am a senior studying biochemistry with a
Religious Studies minor. I am applying to medical school this summer, so
prayers would be appreciated. I want to become and ER doctor. I love the adrenaline rush and the shift work. I also want to help others that cannot afford healthcare. It makes me sad that people die, even in Oklahoma, because they cannot afford treatment.
Only until the beginning of my senior year did I
switch to a Religious Studies minor. I took Islamic Theology because after
traveling through some Middle Eastern countries and Southeast Asia I became
really interested in Islam. I became fascinated with the religion and dropped
my mathematics minor and switched to religious studies.
I love sports. I played all through high school, but after
tearing all the ligaments in my knees three times I could not go to college and
play. It is okay because I am a secret nerd. I love Star Wars and will talk
theory with anyone at anytime. The Periodic Table is the coolest. Recently
adding four new elements to the Table is worth celebrating. I was a NASA intern and did research for them. I designed nucleases for their Synthetic Biology Department. It was tons of fun and learned so much. I am also an avid
knitter, so if you have any cool things for me to try then please let me know.
