About Jaila L

A Dual Enrolled Senior attending Sandy Creek High School and Georgia Military College

Passions: Two things I cannot live without would be diversity and family. I have family with many different backgrounds, so I appreciate and love different cultures and what all they have to offer as learning experiences.

Favorite Pastime: Working. There is always something to do and something to learn so I'll either be at athletic training or studying something in my healthcare class that I found very interesting.

Proudest Moment: Definitely my extracurricular activities. Through my hard work and opportunities I have been exposed to, I have experienced working as an intern, being a part of community-based clubs, and working at a job that is in the same field I wish to have a career in.

Favorite Book: The Girl Who Could Fly

Pet Peeve: When someone does not back up their words with actions.

Life Goal: I want to be an orthopedic surgeon with a focus on Sports Medicine.
