SCHOLASTIC -IMPACT
(If) we had to paint a picture of PJT in school, it would look like this.
It started at five years old, while in (private-Christian pre-school) “students looked up to and regarded him as (one) of the “safe,” “popular” kids. (he was the protector.) In junior-high; staff compared him to a “fortune 500” businessman. In High School he was viewed as the “Quarter-Back” (type.) Always in sports, uplifting, motivating, inspiring-students. Holding everyone’s hand through turbulent times. He was the (silent-angel) always watching; taking time-for (everyone) (including the overlooked kids in the corner; that everyone else seemed to forget. Making sure they had a voice. While he was never THEE single most popular (he was always among one of them.) (Aka) he never let it get to his head; always keeping one eye open at all times; constantly looking out for others; “keeping them safe” (EVEN IF THEY DIDNT REALIZE IT!) – some would have died, if he did not interveine. Why does he do that? To understand the interior meaning of these actions: researching his ancestry is the easiest explanation.
On the exterior: every day is another intelligent day, full of school-spirit; dancing, promoting, inspiring, uplifting, and encouraging students to feel safe, participating, fully embracing and enjoying their educational experiences. To all of his class-mates- PJT was more than a student: he was “the deans son,” the school chefs son,” “the college-facility-managers son;” he was a “friend,” and “positive role model” who worked at the local grocery store, radio station, fire department and newspaper, but to many he was the larger than life BMX freestyler and “dancing-school-mascot” –“PETEY THE PIRATE.” and later; their own Hollywood Celebrity friend.
CHILD ABUSE AND BULLYS
Sounds glamorous right? Sadly that is the shiny golden (A) side of the coin that everyone sees; but, alas there are “two-sides.” Yes it is true- he started life; by excelling at church and school. Teachers adored and placed him in “honors-advanced-classes,” because he was smarter and faster.” However; there was a multiplicity of sinister’s working against him- (ie) (1.) His family are military celebrities, and he was victimized and subjected to military programs and (2.) Not every adult likes an cute, adorable, intelligent (8) year old child. Thus: began the unseen dark, violent (B) side of the coin. Due to government secrecy, massive-violence -(aka)- “at-home-trauma,” (aka) “child-abuse;” Prince Jordans injuries became increasingly noticeable (via) bruises, black eyes, injuries, decreasing GPA (grade point average.) Almost overnight; He went from “honor-student: to “study-hall,” and was removed from all sports and track; until his grades came back up. The very same teachers who advanced him, were now moving him backwards, into “disabled- (Special Education) classes.” Instead of being one of the popular kids: many of his new classmates, and girl-friends were “mentally-challenged-persons.” Some of the normal students began laughing and calling him names as he slid from hero to zero.
THE COMEBACK
English teacher(s) took special interest, watching this future leader: study “3 foot tall” library dictionary’s, producing “ivy-league” reading, writing, vocabulary,. Acing “college-level” extra-credit-essays. Memorizing “the bible,” “self help, spiritual books,” “American-auto-biography’s,” “high-finance,” “motivational-speaker-books,” including: Award winning; “David Mamet” “Steve Covey” and “Tony Robbins.” -each empowering him: “To be the champion,- he encouraged everyone else to be!” Additionally: Prince grandpa was a police sergeant and CIA agent and one of his girl-friends father was an FBI agent; so while these low life losers, were busy wasting their own valuable energy, time and breath, being mean and hurting him in unwanted ways; the young Prince; simply investigated, analyzed, ignored them and channeled the Christian warrior inside; remarkably resulting in complete embarrassment / utter humiliation and shaming them at their own game-(on every level.)
Each new day: brought sophisticated, educated, vibrant roars of royal excellency, echoing louder within. Now, that he was being pro-active in his own recovery, those huge setbacks were nothing more than rubbish, trash and garbage. Prince used them to add “jet-fuel,” “rocket fuel,” to his fire.” Now he was more determined than ever- to overcome failing grades; brain-damage, child-abuse-injuries, and un-intelligent student comments. He began to run faster, study harder and “bloomed where he was planted.” he joined the “Mentally-handicapped-sports-competitions,” pinned the school bully & fastest kid in school in a wrestling match. He smashed records, winning “silver and gold,” trophy’s, that remained (ON DISPLAY) in glass cases; for over 10 years. With the tender love, caring, compassion, help of many friends, family and (amazing girl-friends,) his wounds started to heal. His grades went up; he re-joined “normal” sports competitions, including being a cheerleader-“base,” football, baseball, student-government, yearbook, newspaper, F.B.L.A, debate-team, spelling-bees, (R.O.T.C- US marine classes,) video and film, “fundraising campaigns,” cake-walk-sales, fire-fighting and law-enforcement classes. He became a local radio dj, and wrote for the town newspaper, all before he was 18. Yes; he was back on top; and PJT loved school. He became very well known and loved on every campus, for creating “positive vibes” & “happy energy.” One newspaper said: “his beautiful presence is like warm-sunshine in the morning; sparkling into the homes, and hearts of everyone!” -indeed it truly is!
