| Jordan Baker
Jordan Baker is an energetic individual who enjoys expressing himself. He is creative and always tries to make his opinion be heard during and outside of school. Education and his running career are the two most important parts of his life, and he puts equal effort into both of them. It wasn't until later in his high school career that he became so ambitious, taking great pride in who he is and what he does, but now that he has, his intentions after high school include running for Montclair University and getting a degree in English and literature. TV/Media was an exceptional elective choice for him because of his enthusiastic approach and creative spirit. Jordan acknowledges the fact that he'll gain skills that he will carry with him for the rest of his life as a result of the knowledge he is quickly picking up working and learning around a studio environment at OCHS. He likes to ensure that all of his segments for the show have a topic that the audience will be intrigued by. He finds it enjoyable to be able to report about a subject he finds interesting while informing others about its importance. Jordan thanks TV/Media for teaching him how to become a better writer while being careful not to over analyze an assignment. More important than being an elective that has had great influence on his life, not to mention a place where he can learn a multitude of skills/industry standard equipment, Jordan credits TV/Media as being the one class he has had the most fun in.
