Profile
Name: Jason Richard (27) Tribe Designation: Bompuka Current Residence: Buffalo, NY Occupation: Personal Trainer Interview: „Hey, what’s up, everybody, what’s up? My name is Jason Richard, I am 27 years old and I am from Buffalo. Growin‘ up in a hood, y’know, it ain’t easy. My family was never the richest but as we all like to say: „We may not be rich, but we’re all rich-ard.“ I mean, my family was in the projects for a lot of our lives. I have four brothers and two sisters and our dad, or the person that I am supposed to be calling that, he never took care of us. My mom, she is the most wonderful person you could meet. She worked her ass off to make us all become somethin‘ because she didn’t want to see us struggle the way she did. After our dad left us, my mom had to work three jobs each and every day to make sure she payed the bills so we had a roof over our heads. Y’know, at points she wasn’t able to but I don’t ever hold that against her, I mean, she was alone to raise seven kids, who’d be able to do that by themselves? I became a personal trainer because I wanted to motivate people the way my mom always motivated us. I wanted to make sure nobody ever gives up on themselves because my mom never let me give up on me. Survivor, this is all a game about one thing and that’s relationships and I actually think this kid from the block got some social skills, y’know. Like, I might be black but I ain’t Oprah, y’know… (laughing) …but I still think I can connect with people real well! I am fit and I got some street smarts too. If I win the million dollars, I will not believe it because…that stuff just don’t happen to people like me. But I am here to win and I will stop at nothin‘ to achieve that goal.“
