Meet the Staff: Jacob Wynn

     If I could describe Jacob Wynn in one word, it would be awesome! He could also be called a real life Superman. He works hard every day to achieve his goals and dreams. 
     Jacob is a wrestler whose goal is to become Rural Retreat's first three-time state champion. He also has another goal: three undefeated seasons. He tries to stay extremely focused on wrestling and weightlifting. He knows that all this will not just be given to him; he will have to earn it. Whenever his training gets hard, he goes by this quote from Tom Brands: "[You] don't deserve anything, the only thing you deserve is what you earn."  
     Besides wrestling, he also tries to stay focused on school. Jacob always has a goal in everything; he wants to be the best, or more importantly, the best that he can be. So his goal in school is straight A's. He did it last year, and he wants to do it again. Jacob says “without school there is no wrestling.” 
     Jacob is also a family man. He loves his family, and he says that there is nothing better than family time. He says “it's family first, friends second.” 
     So, what is his goal in life? He says it's to live a godly one. To do that, he says, your life has to be uncommon. You have to surround yourself with people who have the same desires and goals as you do. Jacob says he wants to be remembered as someone who loved God, his family, and wrestling.
