From Lego to Legacy

As one of the smartest, most under-rated students at Worthington Christian. Jake Flanigan’s life is much like his job: organized mayhem. Jake has a sister and two brothers with Patrick being his favorite sibling despite him being the “bad one” in the family. Jake tells me that hes much closer to his mom’s side of his family but dislikes his dad’s side, apparently due to the family dynamics. 
Jake has been a lifer at Worthington Christian for 13 years, his favorite courses here are the computer classes with programming being his favorite. In fact, he plans to be a programmer later in life. However, Jake is not a fan of school. Not the academic part but the social structure of the student body. He cites the problem being the “pride and selfishness”. What makes him distinguished from the rest of the student body is his ability to get great grades without studying nor putting in too much effort into his classes. 
Jake describes his work at Legoland Discovery Center as organized mayhem. Although he loves his co-workers, the customers he deals with is hectic and the only way to get through the day is nothing but teamwork, which he cites as been a huge help to developing his social skills. Jake works on the Kingdom quest ride at LDC, where he must quickly load and dispatch rides to get the constant flow of customers through the line. Once again, Jake’s life is much like his job: organized mayhem.
