My Life

My name is Jarrett Ables.   I am 20 years old, and I graduated from Calhoun High School in 2009.  I’ve played sports my whole life.  I love golf, football, and baseball. I played all of these sports throughout school, but mainly concentrated on golf during High school.  I ended up having six different scholarship offers to play golf in college when I graduated.  I turned the scholarships down because I wanted to concentrate on my education and work at the same time.  Another big reason I didn’t go play golf in college is because I love hunting! Hunting is by far my favorite hobby. If I would’ve taken a scholarship I wouldn’t ever get to hunt because my time would’ve been taken up by the sport.  I grew up hunting; it has been in my family for many years.  I love to deer, duck, and turkey hunt.  I travel to a number of different states each year to hunt.  We have farms in Kentucky and Illinois. We also have 500 acres In Gordon County.  I live in Calhoun and have my whole life.  I am attending Georgia Highlands to finish up my core classes before I transfer to Southern Poly.  I am seeking a degree in Electrical Engineering.  My family owns a Plumbing and Electrical business. My dad is a master’s licensed plumber.  I plan on taking the state electrical test and obtaining my electrical license when I turn 21.  I’ve been helping with the business since I was in the eighth grade and I now work full time.  When I am not working I spend my afternoons in the gym.  I’m a member of Firehouse Gym in Calhoun.  I have a younger sister who is 17. She plans on attending the University of Alabama. Everyone in my family have always pulled for Alabama because my Granddad went to school there.  I must say I have been pretty happy since they we won our 14^th National Championship last Monday. Roll Tide!
