I know it may sound pretentious of me, but the one thing I’d like to point out is that my name has no Y’s, or I’s, or apostrophes in it. My name is simply spelled Jalen, like the famous basketball player, nothing fancy or unique. Other than that, I’m not normally serious but I do look like I am lost most of the time which is quite the contrary. Some of my friends (and former teachers) have considered me to be one of the laziest-smartest people you could probably meet but I honestly think that is 75% of my generation.

I hail from the Sunshine State, or what is better known as Florida. I wasn’t originally born in Florida, New York gets to hold that title, but I’ve lived in Tampa, Florida almost all of my life. Lucky me, I got to move to this wonderful city called Atlanta about three years ago to attend GSU. My current major is Kinesiology and Health with a focus in Exercise Science, before that, I was a Physics major, and before that, I was kind of a Criminal Justice major but that’s a story for another time. But I think the deciding factor on my current major was that I actually like science and sports, making this the best option for me, that and I DID NOT want to take 4 different Calculus classes on top of my science classes. My end goal for my major is to develop a fitness center that allows the youth to try sports that they normally don’t have access to.

I have a lot of different interest mainly because I’m always trying to learn something new. It has gotten to point were people constantly ask me why I know so much about a topic. I could sit down and have a conversation with you about almost over 100 different things. It could be about cars, laws, food, sports, fashion, even films and other styles of art. But my interest I’m best known for at the moment are cooking, cars and games. If you wanted to learn how to properly cut through a Yellow-Fin Tuna, I can do that, if you want to know the difference between a 13B Rotary Engine and an EJ207 Boxer Engine, I got you, and if you wanted to know how esports became a multi-million dollar concept and how to invest into them, we could talk about that too. You could safely assume that, most people would consider me a walking encyclopedia or something of the sort, but as I like to say, it would be a waste of information to not learn something new everyday in this Digital Age.
