FinalistBio
Hello! My name is Jada McClain, and I would first like to say thank you so much for viewing my profile! I am currently a junior at Savannah College of Art and Design. In May 2022, I graduated from Union County Early College, with a Summa Cum Laude and Dean’s List status, and as an NC Scholar with my high school diploma and Associates of Arts. Before graduation, I was also inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success, and Phi Theta Kappa.
I am currently studying in SCAD’s ITGM program to major in Interactive Design and Game Development. I am also minoring in Concept Art for Games. I attend club meetings, art or career building workshops, and events at SCAD weekly to improve my work and skills.
Now, I’ll share few fun facts about me! I am apart of a single parent family where I am a fraternal twin. I became a college student at the age of 14. My favorite mediums in art are digital, charcoal, graphite, and color pencils. I view myself as a creative person that is willing to take on any challenge.

"I don't raise quitters," my mother said as I struggled to understand my geometry homework. She was right, after all, I would not be here if it were untrue. My mother had multiple opportunities where she could have given up. The abuse, divorce, custody battles, and financial burdens were boulders she was forced to carry while raising my brother and me. Yet, she never gave up. She not only told me to do the same, but she showed me how.
My mother carried boulders all her life as if they were only pebbles. Eventually resolving each issue to give my brother and I a better life. Now I smash each of my boulders, just like my mother. I usually try to solve my problems alone, just as she did. Consequently, leading to my constant refusal to ask for help, which annoys my mother. But her independence and self-reliance are qualities I strive for.
"Ma, can you help me?" I finally asked her after claiming I understood my homework. In an instant she was there, just like every moment in my life. She is always present to congratulate and encourage those who mean the most to her. If a family member graduated, my mother would be there. The same way I was there when my mother earned her Paralegal degree, after she returned to college after dropping out 30 years prior. "I have to lead by example," she said the first time she held her degree after an eight-hour long workday.
