2. Hi, I’m Gavin
I’m a “Chicagoan” born and raised. I'm a westerner and by that I mean I've spent
my whole life in the western region of Chicago. I've lived both in the city and the
suburbs. During my time in the suburbs I attended Army Trail Elementary, Indian
Trail Jr High. I also attended Addison Trail High School my freshman year but
transferred to Proviso West High School where I graduated “Class of 2010”. After
graduating I attended College of Dupage while there I was involved with the
football team. Getting to the point I nearly lost my life 2 weeks into summer
training camp so I couldn't play anymore. On top of that I was removed from all
my classes and didn't have any type of income. So when I was fully healed I put
school on the back burner and went to work. I've bounced around a couple jobs
and ultimately ended up working for CTA where I worked for the last 3 years. As of
now I've decided that I want more for myself and I recognize that I have a lot to
offer to society. I'm excited to see what happens next.
