About

My name is khloe Ladson of Northeast DC, I am 16 years old and I currently attend Dunbar High school. I am the oldest of 6, I am an independent, strategic, thoughtful, and adventurous person. Outside of working, in my free time I would study bacteria under my microscope or go to the creek/lily pond just to observe the wilderness and how animals live differently from each other. I also love to read. I used to cheer for Rosedale recreation center and from person expo being a cheerleader is very fun especially with competition. I’ve always had a job since the age of 14 and it will continue to be that way because I love making my own money not having to depend on anybody else.
