About

Hey, my name is Chadd Christopher Clubine. The three C's for my initials are intentional, because it has been handed down from son-to-son from my great-great grandfather. The two D's are also intentional, because my parents wanted to be original with my name. At the age of 19, I'm a hard-worker, inspiring writer, and on-the-go volunteer. I have worked at Baskin Robbins, Dairy Queen, and, now, Dillon's and always determined to get the job done before my shift ends. I'm the type of guy that if I don't finish my job by shift ends, I will stay until it is completely finished or satisfactory to my supervisor. As for being original, that comes into contact with my writing, volunteering, and overall, life. With my writing, I think it is important to make creative, fictional stories that also happen to inspire people by adding in realistic texture to the product. For example, if I were to write a story about an undercover cop, I would want to make it inspiring to others that life is an ongoing adventure and we learn best from our mistakes. I didn't really start volunteering until my senior year, when my government teacher required twenty hours of volunteer service. After those twenty hours, I became hooked, which made me dedicated to making calls to others to volunteer for Paul Davis at the upcoming election, and if they would like to volunteer. With my hard work, I was promoted up to a phone bank captain within a few weeks and became a leader to others who wanted to make calls. So, this is what makes up my life right now. In my best and most honest opinion, I truly believe that to be successful, the three key elements are: original- have an open mind when doing things; hard-working- it all pays off in the end; inspire- because we don't know who we might influence into becoming the next great leader.

Goals and interests

Career goal

Hoping to finish undergraduate school within 3 years, I have determined the multiple choices I can take with a major in political science and a minor in psychology. With those degrees under my belt, I am on the path to either a) be a political journalist or author b) political analyst, or c) run as a political candidate. As a political journalist or author, I hope to get the facts out about politics and develop solutions that can better fix our problems. As a political analyst, I hope to come out with facts and research about how politics are running or determining which candidate would best fit a seat. As a political candidate, I have not yet determined what I want to run for. I would be happy to start out with the House or Senate, but I need to take my political attributions step by step and give it time before I decide what exactly I want to run for.

Graduate school interests

As of now, I have not fully thought out on whether or not I would attend graduate school. I've considered it, but, right now, I am focused on getting through with undergraduate school, helping out with a campaign, and working to pay off college.

Outside the classroom

During my free time, I enjoy watching movies and TV shows. I don't just do this for the entertainment, but to understand the psychological and sociological perspectives, since I am going into psychology for my minor. I also am a writer, so I tend to write reviews over movies after I am done viewing them. Since I am also a writer, I am an author of fictional, inspiring stories.
