About Callan

  My name is Callan Mannion I was born on September 1st 1994 in Arlington TX. I was born with cerebral palsy. At the age of ten i started having weird feelings in my body like seizures, Charley Horses, and brain headaches. but i eventually got use to them.

       What you should also know about me is I like to act in theater. I have been in nine plays from 6th grade to 12th grade.  my favorite play was being the apothecary in Romeo & Juliet. I eventually took a break from theater after High School but after College I will like to continue the experience.

      One of my hobbies is to collect Movie, TV shows, and Video Games merchandise like t-shirts, collections, and posters. Right now i am collecting posters such as Star Wars, Walking Dead, Jurassic Park, and more. for Movies and TV I am collecting every marvel cinematic universe Movie and TV show that ties in with the story.

      Things I like to do when there is no school work that needs to be done. Is to play Video Games Online, Watch Movie or TV show marathons, listen to an audio-book, and hangout with my friends.

   My favorite year of High School was 12th grade my final year. Because I tried out for Blue Crew that is a spirit team. for Summit High School. I made the team, what we had to do was to be on the field for football games and be on the court for pep-rally's the goal was to cheer on our team and help the crowd cheer on as well. Basically like a cheerleader but different we got too wear jumpsuits during the events. 

  Last Year I was a part of a program at Texas A&M. It was called the PATHS program A program for students with disabilities that want a brighter future. They can help students get jobs or practicum. I chose to be a child care provider which allows me to work with pre-kindergarten children. I got to work at a daycare which was called Kinder care it was a fun experience I got to read to them, play and get their snacks ready. Sadly this program was only one year but it was worth it.

My goal this year is to do my very best and learn a little more in College one last time. I always wanted to live in NYC to be an actor but with me being a child care provider I will have to start somewhere else. My main goal after College is be the best I can be. Every night I say to myself to never give up.

  1. Callan, Very cool stuff here. First off, I appreciate your work with kids. So good. That a job that benefits all parties involved, including you. Secondly, you and I have something in common: I'm also a movie / TV show paraphernalia collector. You should stop by my office to see a small piece of my collection. I mostly collect horror movie posters, DVDs and toys. It can be an expensive hobbies. What movies and TV shows are you into? Also, are you familiar with the MONDO online movie store? https://mondotees.com/ I recommend signing up for their email list. They send out notices about once or twice a week announcing the new posters and vinyl record soundtracks they are selling. I can never afford anything they sell, but I still like seeing their stuff. They just featured a huge STAR WARS poster series that included really beautiful artwork. Anyway, you've found my nerdiest button. We should talk more!
