About the Contributor

Jordan Thomas, Editor in Chief

16-year-old junior Jordan Thomas is in his fifth semester of journalism and is serving as the co-editor-in-chief this year. Thomas was born in Orlando, Florida, and spent most of his childhood there, but he eventually moved to North Carolina at nine years old. “The weather here is definitely way nicer, said Thomas." I like it because it's not always that hot and it's not always raining. Florida is a different breed." Thomas is also a photographer, he does photography for all sports and is a social media intern for a local college baseball summer league team. His interest grew for photography when he joined the West Wind. When Thomas is not doing photography, he likes to spend his free time playing video games with friends or listening to music, specifically R&B and rap. “I feel like those genres get me through life,” said Thomas. "Drake is the best to ever do it and he's always been my go-to." Thomas plans on going to the University of Florida State to pursue his journalistic career and get his name out there to grow to the professional level. He wants to work for his favorite team the Jacksonville Jaguars, this team is close to his family in Florida and would be very ideal for him. “I want to be a sports journalist,” said Thomas. “I want to be able to interview the players and write a little bit of articles about them and grow my resume to get even higher up.” Although those are his plans now, they have not always been. “It's a new thing–when I was in eighth grade all I did was play baseball,” said Thomas. “That was probably my dream with the amount of time I put into it.” The West Wind first sparked Thomas’ interest when he first saw a TikTok at the beginning of his freshman year. When he saw former West Wind student Ava Babson do TikToks for the school, he knew that's where he wanted to be. “My goal this semester is to have two papers out,” said Thomas. I have to get that Tarheel award for us.”
