My Life

My name is Jada McGill I live in Kings Mountain. I been living there for sixteen years now. I love to play basketball, and swim. I started playing basketball at age seven. I played for the YMCA and in middle school but only for my seventh grade year. I couldn’t persuade myself to try out so I didn’t. In high school I wanted to play basketball but I left in the middle of tryouts. I was mad because it was the last day.    I don’t swim that much anymore. I can’t find time to swim anymore because of school and my job.

I’ve been working at mcDonald’s for nine months in November it will be a year. I started working when I was fifteen. At first I couldn’t do that much because of the child labor laws. Now that i’m sixteen i get tired of working.

I have two sisters and one brother. My oldest sister is twenty-four years old her name is Quan. She got her CNA degree from Gaston College last Spring. My other is eighteen years old her name is Larn. She is a freshman at Winston Salem State University. My brother is nineteen years old, and his name is Trey. He just joined the U.S Military a few weeks ago.

I’m so happy to be in the Early College program. I think it will have a big impact on my future.  I also think this program will open doors for me to get into the college I want. So far school has been a little hectic with the building not done, and all. I like walking around campus.

Some stuff I don’t like about being at the school is: having class in the auditorium, being escorted to class, and the bag lunches. I know all of this is for our safety, and because our building is not done yet. It’s just going to take me awhile to get use to all this.

After I graduate from Gaston I want to go to Ohio State University to be an anesthesiologist.
