Taken by: Impressions
Name: Sean Jones
Age: 50
How they feel: He is trying to remain optimistic because, if the kids would just learn to be ok with their engagement, it would make everything so much easier. But he isn't sure what time at a camp will do differently than home.
Personality: Sean has a very intimidating persona about him. People tend to think that he is a very strong and dominating. Though he can be those things, he tends to be a very light hearted person. Sean is very charismatic and people are just drawn to his personality. He likes to tell jokes and tries not to linger about little things. Life is too short to spend most of it worrying all the time. Sean has never been a very fearful guy about anything. It is probably one of the reasons why he has done so well in life, he was never hindered by fear of failure, the future, the unknown, etc.
History: Sean's childhood was a tough one. He grew up in the bad neighborhoods where, basically, all of the odds are against you. You don't have the money to get to where you want to in life and there aren't a lot of people who will take the chance on a young black man living the projects. Not to mention the consistent temptation to take the easier road and fall into a life of drugs, gangs, and worse. So, the moment Sean of born he had to work twice as hard as anyone else just to get by. But get by he did, he did more than just get by. He managed to get himself out of the neighborhood. He met his, now, ex-wife when he was in college. He knew from the moment he met her that she was different, special. They were married after dating for a long time. That was when, as they say, they were to live happily ever after. And they did, at first. They bought a house in a good neighborhood and had a family. One thing that Sean knew for many years was that he would give his kids everything he didn't have. He didn't want his kids to have to go through half of what he had to. Being from a single parent home, just him and his mom, Sean made an extra effort to always be there for his kids for whatever they were going through. When he and his wife were having trouble, he tried to keep it from the kids but that was only possible for a short time. Sean always thought that they would eventually work it out. That it was just a bump in the long road ahead of them. But she didn't feel the same way, she decided to move out and divorce without really ever taking to Sean. But he will be forever grateful that his kids chose to stay with him and they haven't heard from their mother in some time. Though Sean never thought he would be a single parent he made the best of it. After a few trial and errors, they were able to function cohesively. When he met Ms. Ramirez, Sean knew his life would change. She was the most amazing woman he had ever met and he believed his kids would feel the same way. He was and is surprised at the resistence both sides' kids are having towards their relationship, but more so surprised at his kids' resistence. And he isn't really sure how to tackle the problem.
