    Hi my name is Cole Jones.  I am from the state of Hawaii in the Pacific ocean.  Their are many different hobbies you can have here,  some of mines are Surfing, Hiking, and Wrestling.  Both of my parents are from Oahu.  My mom is Samoan, and my dad is a Olympian,  My sister went to CMS Collage with a ride and in her senior they won the division 3 nation champions for Volleyball.  He competed in C1 at the 1992 Olympics. Some unique characteristics are that I don't give up until I get what I want, I work hard, and learn quickly.  

        The community where I live in Aina Haina has a few of my friends that wrestled, this is one of the reasons I started wrestling.  The sport sounded fun because all of my friends were doing it.  In the second year of wrestling I started to like it even more because it can help you with self defense for the rest of your life.  In the third year of my wrestling career the sport became more fun because I felt good and empowered. Every day of practice I would learn how to use my body a little more every time.  I started wining matches every tournament,  I was excised that I was getting better so I started taking it more serious.  In my third year of school wrestling I placed second in JV finals for 182 at the time I was 170lb.
