About

My name is Jordan Ellis. I am a student at the University of Florida. I live with Cerebral Palsy, a condition that affects my mobility and causes lots of physical pain. In May of 2017, I underwent my 10th surgery to hopefully improve my long term situation. During my month-long stay in the hospital, I started this blog to document and share my journey. The name comes from my hospital stay - 3West was the floor I stayed on. For me, even though I'm no longer in the hospital living on 3West, 3West is where this all started. So, the name still makes sense to me - 3West is the ultimate origin of my blog and that hospital is a HUGE reason why I am where I am.
I'm open and excited to see where this blog takes me, even as the surgery journey that started it is now over. I hope that this becomes a place where I can share my love for words and writing and stories, whether that be my journey in making storytelling my career or just whatever happens to be swirling around in my brain.
The Articles tab will keep you up to date with my published (mostly sports) articles, the Photography tab will show you my work behind the camera, the Main Blog will keep you up to date with whatever is swirling around in my crazy brain, the People Blog will introduce you to some really inspiring people that I know and the Letters Blog will tell you about the people I love.
