"My name is Colin Hopkins and I'm a 16 year old high school junior from Grove City, Ohio. I read the recent announcement about Patrick Reed's parkour interest group at his high school, and it is very similar to the club i started at my high school. This past year a levy failed to pass in my school district which would have eliminated all extracurricular activities including all sports, clubs, etc. In the wake of that, i decided to try to spread interest in parkour, which was made easy because i'm on the school's news team. I made announcements for parkour training sessions and played videos displaying parkour to rally interest in it. The first few sessions i had were pretty successful, with ten or so people coming eager to learn, and i did my best to teach them. After a while, interest grew and i started having 15 to 20 people coming to every session, which i was holding every tuesday and thursday. Now it seems that everybody in school is familiar with the discipline, and i've earned a great deal of respect from my leadership position. This increase of interest in parkour is a dream come true for me considering i've been the only traceur in the city since i started training a year or two ago. I thought i should report the news because it seems to be a good example of the positive spread of parkour."
