As you know from the main page, my real name
is Jon Sprankle. I am 21 years old and am from around Punxsutawney Pennsylvania.
I was once enrolled at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, in
Indiana, Pa., as a Medical Technology major. That little part of my life kinda ended badly. I also returned to my former technical school as a LPN student. That ended even worse than my college days. I plan on going back to IUP in the future just as soon as I get everything straightened out in my life and decide what I really want to do. I am a backwoods boy
and love the outdoors and especially horses. I like to hunt and fish
more or less anything that has to deal with the outdoors, you
will find me doing.
I was born on December 16, 1977 to Gregory Dean and Judy Ann
Sprankle at Punxsutawney Area Hospital. I have one brother, Donald,
who has currently been voted into Who's Who in American High School
Students two years in a row... which is quite an acomplishment (especially
for a kid who teachers used to say would never accomplish anything
in his life... bet they're eating their words now. *GRIN*). To tell you
just how much of an accomplishment this is... there is only something
like a 1% chance of ever getting in twice and a .1% chance of doing
it twice in a row. I am quite proud of him for it. I also have way to
many aunts and uncles to go into names. My grandparents are, on my
mother's side, Donald and Barbara Lunger and, on my father's side,
Alice Sprankle. My grandfather, Albert LeRoy Sprankle, passed away
in October of 1983.
I started Kindergarden when I was 5 years old. I attended Rossiter
Elementary School before it was closed down and was transferred
to Banks-Canoe Elementary for first through sixth grade. My seventh
and eigth grade years were spent in Punxsutawney Area Junior High School.
In 1993, I attended Punxsutawney Area High School for my Freshman
year. In '94, I transferred to Jeff Tech (DuBois-Jefferson County Vocational
Technical School) for the rest of my high school years. During this time I was among the
first full graduating class of the Engineering Related Technology
shop. I graduated out of that shop with a 4.0 and out of school with a 3.83
grade point average. I graduated fourth in the class and received
the President's Award for Educational Excellence, for which I am quite
proud of.
Now to tell you what I did with myself during most of those years...
In 1991-92, I ran in the Junior High Track Team. I ran the 800 meter (half mile)
and the 400 meter. In 1992-93, I was on the wrestling team. During my wrestling,
I injured my knee which unfortunately put an end to my sports career.
In 1994, I was involved in the Junior Special Olympics as a "hugger".
They were the ones who helped and gave supports to the atheletes
involved. In 1995, I was selected to go to the VICA Youth Leadership Conference
in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. My senior year, I was a little too busy to get
involved in anything.
My family has owned many pets. We currently have a Cocker Spaniel, a Sheltie
(she's mine *G* Her name is Harley), and a rabbit (he's mine too *G*). We used to own a ferret and plan on getting one again
someday. They are really playful animals... and so darn cute to boot *G*.
I won't get into my former relationships. I can say that I was engaged at one
point in time but I am glad that it is ended.
Well, that's about all I can tell you about me and my family.
I hope you enjoyed reading it.
