NARRATIVE TO FOLLOW…..
NARRATIVE FOR THOMAS J. LYON
THOMAS J. LYON WAS BORN AN ONLY-CHILD TO TWO LOVING
PARENTS IN A SMALL TOWN IN WESTERN NEW YORK. AS A CHILD,
THOMAS WAS ALWAYS INQUISITIVE AS TO HOW THE WORLD WORKS AND
WHY PEOPLE DO THE THINGS THAT THEY DO.
WHEN THOMAS SHOWED AN INTEREST IN BOY SCOUTING, HIS
PARENTS ENROLLED HIM IN THE TOWN’S SMALL AND STRUGGLING CUB
SCOUT PACK, WITH THE HOPES THAT THIS ACTIVITY WOULD BRING
JOY TO HIS LIFE. INDEED IT DID, AS THOMAS IS NOW ONE OF
THE VERY FEW PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT CAN CLAIM TO BE AN
EAGLE SCOUT WITH THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
THOMAS ATTENDED GRADE SCHOOL IN THE SMALL TOWN
WHERE HE WAS BORN. HE PROVED TO BE EXTREMEMLY CREATIVE
DEVELOPING HIS TALENTS OVER TIME. ALTHOUGH NOT
PARTICULARLY TALENTED ARTISTICALLY, HE PROVED HIS ABILITIES
IN OTHER MEANS, SPECIFICALLY WITH DRAMA CLUB, MUSIC, AND
THE VARIOUS CLUBS THAT HE NOT ONLY JOINED, BUT IN MANY
CASES HEADED.
DURING HIS HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, AS MOST STUDENTS DO,
THOMAS FELL INTO THE TRAP OF FOCUSING MORE ON RELATIONSHIPS
RATHER THAN ON HIS SCHOOLWORK. THINGS EVENED THEMSELVES
OUT, HOWEVER, IN HIS JUNIOR YEAR. THIS STRAIGHTENING OUT
PERIOD EVOLVED THOMAS INTO A DIVERSIFIED YOUNG MAN WHO WAS
ABLE TO ACHIEVE HIS HIGH SCHOOL’S HIGHEST SCHOLARSHIP
AWARDED, THE STROME FAMILY FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP. THIS
WAS AN AWARD IN THE AMOUNT OF $50,000 TO BE APPLIED TOWARD
THOMAS’ SECONDARY EDUCATION.
AT FIRST, HE WANTED TO BECOME A CEO OF HIS OWN
BUSINESS. DURING HIS STUDIES OF BUSINESS, HE LEARNED THAT
IN ORDER TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PERSON, YOU MUST
UNDERSTAND PEOPLE. THIS IS WHEN THOMAS FIRST BECAME
INTERESTED IN PSYCHOLOGY. AFTER THINKING ABOUT WHAT AN
IMPACT PEOPLE HAD MADE ON HIS LIFE, HE DECIDED TO SWITCH
MAJORS AND PURSUE A PSYCHOLOGY DOCTORAL DEGREE.
TAKING A BREAK FROM HIS SCHOOLING, THOMAS WAS
ACCEPTED INTO THE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE WALT DISNEY WORLD
COLLEGE PROGRAM, WHERE HE FUNCTIONED IN THE OPERATIONS
DEPARTMENT WORKING WITH GUEST SERVICE FOR SEVEN MONTHS.
DURING THESE SEVEN MONTHS, HE HAS MADE MANY LIFE CHANGING
DECISIONS, WHICH BRINGS US TO TODAY….
THOMAS HAS DECIDED TO PURSUE A CAREER AS A HIGH
SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELOR BY COMPLETING HIS MASTER’S
PROGRAM AND ACTIVELY LOOKING INTO HIGH SCHOOLS AROUND THE
NATION.

the person is my friend, I don't care whom they want to
sleep with.

Abortion right or wrong? That's up to you, but the movement

abortion is wrong does not mean you have the right to stop
everyone from getting them.

Seattle.

home? To Orlando, FL

LIVING ARRANGEMENT: Currently- College Dorm

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUIJA BOARDS? That they should not
be used by stupid people. Obviously, if you're using a
Ouija Board, you believe that the world of the spirits is
at least as real as our world, and just firing the thing up
willy-nilly is the same as opening your door and shouting
to the world at large that you want some company.

FAVORITE COMEDIAN: Fate

WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSEPAD? I don’t use a mousepad..

FAVORITE MAGAZINE: Wired

FAVORITE SMELLS: Pumpkin Pie, Walt Disney World

WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Hatred. Not just any kind of
hatred, though. I mean that icky, slimy, gut-wrenching
hatred that you can only feel toward people you used to
love. Been there, done that, thank the gods I was able to
get over it and move on, or I'd probably be dead or in jail
by now.

BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD: Wealth

MORNING? (Expletive). Overslept again.

ROLLER COASTERS--SCARY OR EXCITING? Neither.. after working
in the Theme Park Industry for almost a decade, it gets to
be not so much fun to ride big metal cars anymore…

PEN OR PENCIL? Pen. Preferably black rollerball, with a
0.3 - 0.5mm tip.

HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? At work, less
than 3 or I’m fired. At home, less than 2. In either case,
if I let it go for more than that, you'll get an answering
machine/voicemail system instead of me.
