BIOGRAPHY:
Hey everone! My name is Jordan Griffn. I am proud to say that I have been extremely involved in extra-curricular activities my entire life, especially over the past 4 years. Cheerleading and softball are definitely what consume the vast majority of my time, but I love every single minute. I have had the privilege of being a part of three National Championships, two Conference Championships, and one State Championship in cheerleading. I have played softball for the past 8 years and it upsets me to say that both my cheerleading and softball careers are quickly coming to an end.

This past winter, I helped coach Upward Cheerleading at my church and it was one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life. I never knew how much impact I could have on someone until I met those girls. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to provide them with a positive influence, while teaching them the basics of cheerleading.

Although I am sad to leave my friends and high school behind, it excites me to say that the Honors College at East Carolina University will be my home for the next four years! I will be majoring in Exercise Physiology, with hopes to pursue a career as an Orthopedic Surgeon one day.

I must say that I would not be the person that I am today without the constant love and support of God and my amazing family and friends.
