My name is Gavin Raddall and I was born in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, on February 27, 1996. I have lived in this scenic, coastal community for fifteen years and have embraced the phenomenal culture it has to offer. I attend South Queen's Junior High School (SQJHS) which accommodates approximately three hundred students. SQJHS offers remarkable extra-curricular programs, many of which I participate in. My school activities include badminton, soccer, golf, cross-country running, hockey, ping pong, track and field, drama and Call to Remembrance. I have also had the honour of sitting on several committees, most notably, Student Advisory Council (SAC) and Student Council. Outside of school, I enjoy sailing, skiing, and playing tennis. I also enjoy studying my family's genealogy which consists of Danish, French, Dutch and German cultures. I hope to pursue science either at Dalhousie and/or Acadia University and, eventually, fulfill my dream of becoming a surgeon. I have received many academic, athletic, artistic, dramatic and musical awards throughout my life, marking success and high achievement. I have traveled to various destinations in North America and Europe, exposing myself to many incredible cultures which have expanded my knowledge and appreciation for the fantastic world we live in. |
